Drum brakes

Following up on this, today I had to address massive vibration from my rear brakes after replacing the drums and shoes. Toyota puts some paper-like gasket-ish material on their rear axle flanges for some unknown reason. If, in trying to clean up the flange surface during a brake job, you mar that paper gasket in any way, get out your gasket scraper and razor blades because you will need to remove all of that material to achieve a flush surface. If not, ask me how I know, you will have rear brake shudder even when using new drums and shoes. Spent two hours getting those flanges down to bare metal.

And use some anti-seize on the flange lip so the drum doesn't stick from rust. I did the brakes in so Cal 2 months ago and the new drums were already married to the axle flanges.
