What else can I help you with?
Why does the trunk of your 1999 Chevy Malibu open when you hit the brakes?
Apparently your rear trunk latch needs adjusted.
Why do brake drums on a vehicle run hot?
Drum brakes heat up faster, and stay hotter than disc brakes because of their design. Drum brakes have a drum covering two shoes which apply friction to nearly 90% of the drum surface. This friction causes drag which slows the drum from spinning, then stopping the car. Unfortunately, this use of friction, causes heat and the design of the drum restricts ventiliation. Disc brakes also use friction, but a piston applies much greater force on brake pads than shoes apply on a drum. The pads press on a spinning rotor, causing the drag and slowing the car. The design of the piston having greater force than the shoes, require less surface area to be used in applying the braking force. Less surface area = less friction points = less heat. But saying all this if your drum brakes are running hot then possible you are riding the brake with your foot while driving, the wheel cylinder is sticking causing the brakes shoes to drag and not fully retract, or the brake shoes are adjusted incorrectly and are dragging on the drum. Check the adjustment first thing to see that they are adjusted correctly. Also, the disc brakes have a much more open design allowing air to cool the brakes. Many brake systems have cross-drilled and/or slotted rotors which also allow heat to disapate much faster.
How do you open a stuck door on a 2000 Kia Sephia?
To open a stuck door on a 2000 Kia Sephia, remove the door panel and check the latch mechanism. It is likely to be bent. Better to replace the latch mechanism.
How do you change the brake light bulb on a 1999 Kia Sephia?
Open the trunk and take out the two Phillips screws. The light assembly slides inward and will then come off. Pop the old light out and replace it.
Why Your back brakes need change before your front brakes?
If its a rear wheel drive car it would be because more power to that axle, therefore more stopping power is exerted by the brake pads. When applying braking more forces are exerted on the front of the vehicle, this is why vehicles fitted with only one set of disc brakes (superior to drum) use them on the front of the car, and why front brakes usually wear faster. In your case I might suspect dragging brakes possibly caused by a sticking emergency brake cable. In most cases these cables are only connected to the rear brakes hence the accelerated wear. i would guess that either the emergency brakes are stuck on or the rear calipers should be inspected and or replaced. Or, it might just be, if you have front drum brakes, that the rear brakes are adjusted closer then the fronts were. If the front drum brakes were way out of adjustments (farther away from the drum) then the rears would contact first and then the fronts. You should always check/adjust drum brakes once or twice a year. I have not seen front drum brakes since the late sixties. The accepted course of action is normally every two changes of brake pads in the front a change of shoes in the back if complete inspection warrants this action. the only way brake shoes wear quickly in the rear is if the brake cylinders are jammed open then promoting the shoes to always be in contact with the drums or the emergency brake is sticking on when you release it. Have an inspection and correct your problem and save your money in the long run.
What's the difference between a brake and disc brake service?
Disk brakes use a flat disk rotor while drum brakes use a wide cylinder that is open in the back. Both types of brakes cost about the same. The average cost to replace brake pads is between $90-$150 depending upon where you go.
How do you get the rear brake drum on the pads of a Toyota cannot get the the piston to tighten?
If they are drum type brakes, there is an adjuster that can be retracted by turning the "star wheel". If they are disc brakes, the piston on the caliper must be pushed in. You can use a large C clamp and a piece of wood against the piston to collapse it. You should slightly open the bleed screw just enough that you are not forcing brake fluid back to the master cylinder.
Why wont the front brakes release on my 1978 Jeep cj5?
you had better check that out thoroughly, it isn't normal for that to happen. Front and rears should be drum brakes, and theres really no valve to malfunction. My first thought is that the cylinders have overextended and cocked sideways locking the shoes against the drum, this could happen if the shoes were extremely worn out, or the assembly was put together wrong. Second thing to check isn't even the brakes, your front axle may be locked. The next time the front brakes are locked up, open one of the brake bleeders up front. If the pressure releases you have a restriction in the hydraulic system such as a pinched brake line or a collapsed brake hose. If you open the front bleeders and the front brakes are still locked up and they are disc brakes, you may have stuck/frozen brake calipers or stuck caliper slide pins.
How to open the hood of a kia sephia when the cable release from inside the car is not working?
put a torch to it
How do you know if your 2001 Kia Optima has anti lock brakes?
With the hood open, standing in front of car looking toward the windshield.... on the left side (passenger side), look for a silver box with 5 thin lines coming out of the top. If that is present, then you have ABS. If there are only 2 lines, you do not. Or you can look at rear brakes, if you have drum type brakes (can't see a rotor) then you don't have ABS.
How do you ajust the clutch in a 95 sephia?
very simple open the hood and check the carborator very simple open the hood and check the carborator
Can you add drum pads onto an electric drum set?
Yes, as long as the controller has open spots.
