  Q: How to replace the brake drum on GMC Savana 1500?

  A: In order to replace the Brake Drum, it is first necessary to install the pin into the park brake lever, then to raise as well as support appropriately the vehicle. Remove the tire and wheel assembly, which has to be labeled relating to the drum to the hub. If possible, take out the Brake Drum retaining clips, and then remove the Brake Drum. If the drum is hard to remove, you then take off the access hole plug from the backing plate, slide a flat- bladed tool from the outside into the backing plate access hole through; use your other flat-bladed tool to loosen the self adjuster screw. After reinstalling the access hole plug to avoid contamination, spread some penetrating oil around the center hole of the Brake Drum and remove the Brake Drum. For installation, move the relationship mark and install Brake Drum on axle and then install the rear Brake Drum retainers if available. Disengage the pin from the park brake lever, askill on the tire and wheel assembly and readjust the rear brakes. Lower the car and with the engine turned off, slowly press the brake pedal about 2/3 of travel distance and slowly release it. Wait 15seconds, and repeat this process until a firm brake pedal is achieved, ensuring proper seating of the wheel cylinders and brake shoes.
