Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In drum brakes, the fixed braking element are the brake shoes, which come into contact with the moving part or drum. The main maintenance consists of replacing the brake shoes when they are worn out. It is also advisable to clean the system if necessary to remove accumulated dust. Unlike disc brakes, which use pads, drum brakes require this specific care.
