whats going on?
Monday, February 21, 2005 10:24 AM
I ve got a 93 cavalier and just as of lately when ever i break at a low speed it fells like only the rear brakes are pulling, if i try to stop too fast the brakes lock up and the abs kicks in this only happens at low speeds at higher speeds they fell like normal even if i slam on the breakes hard. I know i need new rear shoes but i think they are only wearing down so fast because of the way the cars breaking. I dont see how that could be the cause of the problum alone.

You might have alot of brake dust stuck in the drum. I would pull of the drum and clean it out with some brake cleaner and put it back on and see if that makes it better.

speaking of pulling the drum off, how the #$%^ do you do it? I've tried on both sides of my car and neither of them is budgeing a bit. Looks like it's stuck in the center.....it flexes all the way around the edge, but the middle seems stuck....

You cannot own a Jbody and not need a BFH atleast once when modifying it one way or another...

hehe, heck, you can't own and be seriously modifying any car without a BFH. On another car i have, the drum bakes on back had worn a lip into the drum, and the shoes had to be backed off w/ a little wheel. Hope that didn't happen here, but i doubt it, only got 89k miles, adn it always had regular maintience as far as i know. So i'll dump some WD on it and see what happens, i'm sure WD40 and a BAFH working together can get that sucker off
