When to service drum brakes?

Thanks for checking!

 

Well, I guess another DIY convenience feature is gone! Thanks for verifying brother.

 

Well, if you had rear disc brakes it would be easy to see that they need to be replaced every 35k miles.

 

I've rarely ever replaced rear brakes, nor serviced them.

 

We have rear brakes?
Where is the rear brake pedal? I've only got a front brake pedal!! Technology is so confusing.

 

I replaced the ones on my 2nd gen at 100k before checking them first. They still had about lot of life left in them. I already had the new shoes so I put them on anyway. On my current 3rd gen, I will pull the drums at 100k and check for wear.

 

2008 with over 170k . Still have 35% on rear brakes according to my mechanic .
