    I never heard a drum called a rotor before is that another name for it with the same name as the front disc? Just wondering because it could get confusing if your talking to somebody about breaks. And shouldnt u grease the contact points behind the shoes before installing?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pikoph The True Poet says:

    please I watched your presentation carefully, but I did not see you spray the new rotor with brake cleaner when you placed it back together. Will this cause the rotors have a bad smell when driving?

    Do you HAVE to replace the drums along with everything else? How can you tell if the drums need to be replaced? I have a 1995 F150 4×4 extended cab whose brakes need done all around and I'm not really familiar with drum brakes..
