I dun see any complication...just a simple structure only....spring is to pull the brake shoes away from touching the brake hub during cruising, and the pump between the brake shoes is to push it towards brake hub during braking...i saw alot of drum brake changed before, and most of them is brake bump leakage...
Whats your problem actually? maybe you are the unlucky one...anyway dun expect drum brake too much, just when you pull handbrake the car can stay stationary at slope is more than enough...
i see them open b4 as well
when they open the cap..it looks simple..1 spring and some part and they opened it somemore inside
lots of small parts inside
and the time and work involved to fix it is a lot
lots of time = high labour
lots of part = high maintainance...need to replace alot of part
last time when its be4 20k..i claim like 3-4 times from SC already
they fix...ok..after like 1 week..its back...and it repeats
got once they changed the shoes...discovered that makan 1 side only...lucky its free cuz they have "1" spare shoes..not "1 pair"
until now still makan 1 side
how i know?...when i change my abs...they jacked it up and i didn't know they pulled the handbrake..i got nothin to do thn go spin the wheel
the left wheel can freely spin...the right wheel is locked...thn i go see..the handbrake is on
useless piece of stuff...now i dn't use it already...even on slope its useless
oh..and the handbrake lever is loose2 one...i ask them to tighten it...after awhile..loose back...loose as in can move sideways loose
ps: changing a brake pad for my disc only takes less thn 30 min
asking them to fix that dam drum brake at SC will cost u AT LEAST 2 hours
open it is easy...putting it back is the hard part...every small part has to go back where it belongs...
some need the screwdriver to pull it into place....sometime i see them use hammer...lots of parts
