Carrier Brake problems

[Ledsel]

Hi Jordan. First off your brakes need to be replaced as that is why they " over cammed" (trucker talk) Meaning that the shoes are too thin so that the rollers could move far enough that the wedge pulled by them. I'm not sure but most drums have a maximum dia. on them so check to see , should be cast into the drum edge possibly. But in your case a light turning to remove the glaze would not hurt a bit as you are not as (dangerous) as a truck on the highway. As for the nuts and bearings yes do kleen them . Wash the bearings very well to get any grit or sand etc. and repack them with a good quality wheel bearing grease. You will be surprised at how easy it will steer and stop after all that. Oh and the fasteners can be found at any Traction or Napa store.
