2000 toyota tundra how to remove locked up drum brake. 2000 tundra no brakes. Your rear brakes are self adjusting. You can also try backing off the self adjuster assembly but this isnt quite so easy as the bolt trick.

Take that off and you can get a flathead screwdriver up there and adjust them. The reason it wont come off easily is because the drum has a wear ridge so count on turning or replacing the drum. Now I remove the drums every time I rotate the tires.

Do one side at a time so you can use the other side as a reference. Cleaning lubricating and adjusting the brake shoes brings the pedal back up and can get rid of squeals caused by brake dust inside the drum. After you connect the bleeder tube compress the pad into the caliper to facilitate removal.

In this video Ill show you how to diagnose a locked up brake caliper andor dragging brakes for one wheel. For some reason i cannot drive more than 20 miles before i get a stiff feeling in the brake pedal and a dragging feeling in the brakes. Step 2 Remove brake shoes.

Mine still stuck because brake pads were expanded try turning the star wheel adjustor as well. Spray down the inside of the brakes with brake cleaner then allow it to dry. Insert a metric bolt into the two holes on the rear brake drum.

Its probably a gummed-uplocked-up parking brake bell crank. Remove the bolt mounting the caliper to its bracket and then lay the caliper on top of the axle or otherwise but do not just let it dangle by the brake line. Size is 8mm X 125.
