After removing the brake parts to be serviced, the following
cleaning procedures should be followed:
• Wire brush all parts exposed to mud, road dirt, and salt,
including spider, air chamber bracket, dustshields and exterior
of drum.
CAUTION: A layer of oxidation and dirt on the outside of a
brake drum acts as an insulator and may hinder normal
heat dissipation. Remove excessive deposits by wire
brushing.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove brake dust from drums. Wipe
interior of drums with a greaseless solvent to remove any
spilled oil.
WARNING: The long term effects of non-asbestos fi bers,
have not been determined. Therefore, precautions should
be used when handling these materials. Do not use
compressed air to blow from interior of drums. Brake lining
dust, when inhaled, can be injurious to health.
