Brake drums are most commonly found on older vehicles that were manufactured before 1998. That being said, some newer vehicles, such as Chevrolet Silverado’s, are still manufactured with drum brakes. Drum brakes function similarly to break pads and rotors… The brake shoes press up against the drums to create friction which slows the rotation of the wheel.

Jack up the vehicle and ensure it is secured safely using jack stands.
Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle.
Next, you’ll remove the brake drum from the wheel hub. You may find that the drum has rusted onto the hub, making it more difficult to remove.
Once you have gotten the drum removed, you should properly inspect the brake shoes, springs, parking brake mechanism, and wheel cylinder.
Replace the old brake shoe and install the new drum. Anytime you’re replacing the brake drums, you’ll also need to replace the shoes.
Put the tire back onto the vehicle and lower the vehicle off the jack stands.
Can I replace the brake drum myself?
We definitely recommend employing a professional mechanic to repair your drum brakes. The process of replacing drums on a vehicle is not an easy task and its important that the replacement is done properly to ensure you and your vehicle’s safety. If you’re feeling ambitious, you could give a brake drum replacement your best shot but keep in mind that there are several small pieces and springs involved that can quickly create a headache.
