has anyone had their drum brakes full of mud, and not work anymore?
i had mine full of mud after a trip, and didn't get time to clean them until about 4 or 5 days later. during that time, they stopped working, and only the front brakes are stopping me.
the hand brake doesn't work at all.
i cleaned a lot of the mud and stuff out, and theres some rust on the shoes, and shoes are at about 50-60% left.
what else should i check? the shoes are loose when i move them (without drum on) and another thing, when i pull the hand brake up, the drums dont work, but then when i step on the brake, the pedal goes hard, and works ok.
i've checked fluids, and have bled the brake system too.
how do other fix this, and is it a common problem, i have a vit as well.
thanks

Muds wrecks drums really quick. Clean that stuff out as soon as you can after you've been in it. Christover is on the money...
