• Q: How to replace the brake drum on 2006 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: To replace the Brake Drum, the park brake must be released as well as apply the Brake Pedal at least 10 times. Lift and support the car, then it is necessary to take off the tire and wheel assembly. Next you will remove the lock ring and the caulking nut from the Spindle while making sure you pull the drum straight off the Spindle since the 2 inner Wheel Bearing races are not fastened inside the drum by a ring. Take off the Wheel Bearing, if needed. Clean the parts of the brakes and inspect the Brake Drum and the inner races of the wheel bearings inside the drum, and change the drum if necessary. Lubricate the adjuster assembly and check the threads of the adjuster assembly for freely rotating. If the Wheel Bearing was removed, replace it as per Wheel Bearing/hub replacement - rear, then adjust the rear brakes according to drum brake adjustment. Push the Brake Drum on directly onto the Spindle ensuring the proper placing of wheel bearings as well as the drum. Attach the Brake Drum to the Spindle, followed by attaching the lock ring and caulking nut and tightening the nut to 200 nm (148 ft. Lbs.) and staking of the lock nut onto the nut. Replace the rear tire and wheel assembly, lower the vehicle, and step 10 times on the Brake Pedal. Check that there is no clicking sound coming from either Brake Drum, indicating that there is an adjustment for the clearance between brake shoes and Brake Drum. Finally, twist the park brake to what you need.
