2008 Chevrolet Aveo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake drum on 2008 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: You should first let go of the park brake so you can push the Brake Pedal ten times before starting to replace the Brake Drum. You should raise and support the vehicle before you remove the rear tire and wheel assembly. You must first remove the Brake Drum screws before you can disconnect the Brake Drum from its hub position. Check all brake components before conducting an examination of the Brake Drum and perform a replacement when necessary. The adjuster assembly needs lubrication before testing the threads for effortless movement. Adjust the rear brakes prior to installing the Brake Drum onto its hub. Secure the screws to the Brake Drum while slotting them to 4 n.m (35 lb in) torque. Lower the vehicle after you install both the rear tire and wheel assembly. Additional adjustments must be made to increase the distance between brake shoes and Brake Drum when the adjuster clicking sound becomes inaudible. Brake pedal application at least 10 times should be done to adjust this clearance and check for the absence of audible clicking from the adjuster assembly at both brake drums. Finally, adjust the park brake.
