What is the correct way to remove the brake drum on a 04 focus?
The wheel bearing is part of the brake drum, on old fords there was a slotted nut with a split pin through it, now its just a large nut, I assume it must be tightened to the correct torque. I was reading 1 article that said not to remove the large nut and to remove the 4 bolts from the back plate, but that will not allow me to adjust the brake properley.
(self adjusting..................yea right)
At many auto parts stores you can buy a Haynes do-it-yourself manual for your model car, with step-by-step instructions, torque values and basic explanations at the beginning of each chapter. If it is not in stock, you can order it online by searching on "auto repair manuals" on Yahoo search. In the front is a section on "Troubleshooting" that guides you step-by-step to find causes of most engine malfunctions based on the car's symptoms. Whether you do the work yourself or not, it helps you make informed decisions and not be taken advantage of, and to not feel so "in the dark."
db667089 says: you can check http://www.alldatadiy.com. For about the same price as a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual, you can have online access (for a whole year) to model specific info for your particular vehicle. This is the same info that repair shops use. They have great wiring schematics/diagrams.
Also, for about $15 for a one-month subscription, you can get the factory manual, downloadable (careful! Mine was about 500 pages!) or viewable, at http://eAutoRepair.com.
Also, many people recommend autozone.com's free online manuals.
