How do you remove the rear brake drums on a 2000 Ford ZX2?
With a hammer, not a joking. hit it on the back side of the top out, but please take the tire off first.
Better solution:
First take off the two screws.These are the countersunk holes with Phillips head screw. These screws are holding the drum.
The brake drum has one or two threaded holes. These are not the countersunk holes with Phillips head screw that hold the drum to the wheel flange but are in the other one or two spaces between the lug bolt holes. On my ZX2, these holes are threaded for a 1/4 inch bolt (1/2 inch wrench), 16 threads per inch. Thread a bolt at least one inch long into each hole and tighten the bolt. If your car has only one hole as does mine, tighten the bolt to apply pressure to one side of the drum, then use a pry bar to ease the other side of the drum off. The lug nut wrench with the jack makes a good pry bar for this.
switch sides...ie..take the left and put it on the right side..land right on the left

How are drum brakes adjusted in a Nissan Pulsar?
on the back of the brake drum (facing the middle of the car) is a rectangular rubber bung. pull that off and inside that should be a small spoked ratchet/gear/wheel. it will only turn one way and you have to use something like a small screw driver. turn it a few clicks and check the tightness of the wheel. continue test and adjust until brakes bind just right. dont do it up too much cos that will cause undue wear on the pads and loosening it off again is a way more time consuming job.

Does your rotor squeek all the time, intermitantly, or only when braking? If the rotor squeeks all the time I would look at bearings or possibly something rubbing against the rotor. If it is intermitantly, it can be any number of things. Off the top of my head bearings going bad, shocks getting old and not traveling smoothly, something loose and a metal against metal rub, rotor out of true, need grease in tierod ends or ball joints, caliper hanging up. Squeeking when braking is usually no anti squeek or shims on disk brake pads. If you have not had your disc brakes checked in a while, your indicator may be squeeking to let you know your pads will need servicing soon. Have a certified mechanic take a look. Also the sound can travel such as your serpentine belt getting old and slipping. This will have the sound travel to the wheel well. You are driving along with the window open and swear that the sound is coming from the wheel well. Hope this helps G

Average cost for a brake job on 1998 Lexus GS300?
Well I just paid about $225 for the front and $225 for the rear break pads and installation. $125 total for parts. The rest was labor. Repair was done by a trusted mechanic. Not a Lexus dealer. But I have to say, I find it pretty expensive. On the other hand, My Lexus is over ten years old and this is the first set of brakes I have ever put on her. 85,000 miles. So not driven hard. Great car. Just keeps running and running.
