How do you lubricate rear drum brakes?

Hereof, how do you stop rear drum brakes from squeaking?

How to Stop Brake Squeal

1. Analyze the brake squeal.
2. Be sure new brakes are properly bedded.
3. Install noise-reducing shims on the backs of your brake pads.
4. Check that your brake pads are not worn out.
5. Examine the brake pad and shoe linings to see if they are damaged or unevenly worn.
6. Check the brake pad design.

Subsequently, question is, do you grease the back of brake pads? yes, its true, although your brakes will most likely become noisy and "chatter" from vibration under moderate to heavy braking. I use brake grease on the back of my pads. You'll want to grease your slider pins while you're there so you'll need the grease anyway.

Simply so, why are my rear drum brakes squealing?

Your rear drum brakes squeal for a number of reasons. One reason is brake dust that has accumulated in the brake drum. When you apply the brake, the pads inside the drum come in contact with the brake dust, which causes the squealing. Another cause is the absence of contact between the drum and shoe.

Where do you lubricate drum brakes?

Drum Brake Lubrication Points

• Don't ever put lubricant on the inside of the drum where the shoes/pads contact the drum.
• Use lubricant on the backing plate.
• The adjustable star-wheel that separates the shoes can be prone to freezing, so it should be lubricated.
