How Can Brake Drum Components Be Properly Cleaned and Inspected for Wear and Damage on Dodge Ram 2500?

Use a damp rag or brake cleaner to wipe down the support plate and the outside of the wheel cylinder. Try to stay away from using other cleaners. Remove any light rust and scale from the brake shoe contact pads on the support plate by using fine sandpaper. The brake shoes should be changed when they're within 0.78 mm (1/32 inch) of the rivet heads and the bonded brake substitute should be replaced if the thickness gets to 1.6 mm (1/16 inch). Look at the lining's contact area to ensure it has contact all the way across; if a contact point is missing, inspect the shoes for bend and check the drum for runout or taper. If the star wheel or its threads or any other bolt, is broken or rusted, you should replace the whole adjuster screw assembly. Replace brake springs and retainer pieces if they are damaged or worn out and change the springs as well if you notice brake drag, because overheating can affect and loosen them. Grow inspect the brake shoe contact pads on the support plate and if any are worn or rusted through or if the plate itself is bent, replace the support plate.
