What should you consider before refinishing brake drums on Chevrolet Lumina?

Proceed with brake drum refinement only when the main complaints do not include brake noise sounds or sealant damage issues. You need to refinish brake drums when deep corrosion exceeds the braking surface and causes pulsation while braking. Check the drum brake diameter using a micrometer then replace it with a new part if the largest measurement goes above the maximum modification size. Drum refinishing on brake lathe demands J 41013 Resurfacing Kit to remove rust from the brake drum flange before you follow brake lathe manufacturer instructions to achieve the ideal non-directional braking surface for proper brake operations. Sand the brake surface with non-directional 120 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper after machining and clean it with GM P/N 12377981 or brake parts cleaner substitute. Proper wheel nut tightening with equal amounts of torque protects the braking system from pulsation and keeps rotors intact.

The Brake Drum is in the line of brake components which is perhaps crucial for the vehicle particularly where the Lumina models come with rear drum breaks. Built for acclaimed performance and dependability, the Brake Drum is made of special cast iron, that guarantees high rates of heat conduction and wear protection desirable for its sustainability in conditions of high stress. The Brake lining also applies radial force acting against the rotating Brake Drum when the brakes are on, this results in the frictional forces reducing the speed of the vehicle in an efficient and safe way. This friction-based mechanism is vital to the control of the vehicle particularly through the brake which makes Brake Drum as an important component in the Lumina models. Designed to work with different cars manufactured under the Lumina model line between 1989 to 2013, Brake Drum is a true example of Chevrolet's focus on quality and advancement. It is however important to note that over five generations of the Lumina, new changes in suspension and brake systems were implemented. Brake Drum is among the premier in the market because of its sturdiness and efficiency of serving the purpose of stopping the vehicle. First of all, the Brake Drum serves as the essential component in the Lumina braking system which makes it the critical element of the vehicle improving the safety and the driving experience of the car, thus, it remains the vital part of the Chevrolet Lumina's history.
