Have to admit it's been forever since I dealt with drum brakes/shoes/wheel cylinders as I've been driving cars with 4 wheel discs for a long time.
Well having a GMC, drum brakes are part of the game so time for a refresher course is now. I'll be pulling the wheels and drums off next week to have a look at what's what. I'm expecting to change the shoes and while I'm in there I figure I may as well change the wheel cylinders too.
Probably change the fluid as well and luckily my pal has loaned me his Jim Hupy pressure bleeder kit so I should be good.
One thing that concerns me is that I see some chatter online about "brake seals".
What are these and where do they fit in the scheme of things? Are they just the rubber seals on the ends of the brake cylinders or some other vital part I need?
