Entropy98 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 So I replaced the rear drums and shoes last month and did not feel that I gained any breaking power. I know that it would not be much, but did not feel much of a difference. So I pulled the rear right drum off and it seems that I have grease/oil that has covered a portion of the drum, and about 3/4" of the shoe. If I have a leak from the axle how involved will it be to fix and what parts will I need? I cleaned it up with break cleaner, put it back together and am going to look again tomorrow to see if there is more grease/oil that has leaked out. Thanks, Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I am right outside of Charlotte right now. You should check out my pics on PhotoBucket (link in profile). On the 16th of this month we will be moving back to the great state of Utah. Anyone with any info on the possible axle leak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clkindred Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 So was there more grease/oil in the drum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgallant Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Axle seals, had the same issue on my old Xterra. Pain in the butt to do. Check the inside face of the tire, you may see some oil/grease there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
