Ranger drum brake question I'm getting ready to tackle my 2000 ranger drum brakes and want all the suggestions I can get. I'm told there are both 8" and 9" drums for a 2000. How can i tell what I have before tearing things apart
I've never done drums before. I did however do my front disks last fall with no problems. they were actually pretty easy. I have heard drums are a pain in the arse and can be tricky too.
I have seen that Craftsman sells a special "drum brake kit" set of tools for 30 bucks. Do I really need any specialty tools to do this job?
I also understand that my e-brake is on the left drum. Is there any tricks dealing with it that I should know about?
as for the actual drums themselves. They have 100k on them. What are the chances i can have them turned vs replacing new? are the pads and springs pretty straight forward to change? |
