How To Replace Drum Brakes
So you think you don't have the time or just don't have the experience or education to take care of your car. Well I have news for you! It's really not as hard as it looks and many mechanics get a premium for these simple tasks that we could be doing at home. Here are some things that you should be able to do on your own with relative ease. By doing some of these, you will not only save money but keep you and your loved ones safe at the same time.
The first thing you need to do as you prepare to replace your drum brakes is to get a good asbestos respirator. This will protect you from the dangerous asbestos particles you will encounter as you work on replacing your breaks.
The next thing you need to do is remover your hubcaps and loosen the nuts on your tires. You also need to support your car with a jack. Remember that it is absolutely imperative that you never work on a car with a jack without another person around.
Next you should spray your wheel with penetrating oil, and grab the brake drum by the edges and wiggle it out. This should get the drum brake off, and you will be ready for the next step. If your drum brake is held in by screws, you will need to remove them first. Now you can inspect your drum brake to see if it needs to be replaced. Remember to take a picture of the drum brake before taking it apart so you can make sure to put everything back exactly where it belongs.

It doesn't matter how many car chase movies you've seen or how great you are at Mario Cart. Weaving in and out of traffic, especially at high speeds makes everyone around you hope that you either crash or at least get pulled over. No matter how confident you are in your driving skills, it does not give you the right to put others in danger. Things can happen in the blink of an eye. No matter how good of a driver you think you are (to justify your reckless driving), if you weave, you are a bad driver.
Use these tips to get ahead on your car maintenance this year and don't forget to get Auto Insurance from Lakewood, CA because that is one of those things you really should save on!
