Hi Friends,
Here I would like to know about cleaning the brakes especially the drum brakes.
1) I have read somewhere that disc brakes don't need cleaning, it does have a self cleaning mechanism. Is that a true statement?
2) Now about drum brakes. Even about this I read we don't really need periodic cleaning unless we found any difficulties in braking. Again, Is that true?
I don't mind paying to MASS for the rear drum brakes getting cleaned if it is really needed, but I want to be sure that this is not a rip-off.
Most of the cars do have rear drum brakes. So I want to know whether every Authorized Service Centers other than one from MARUTI SUZUKI do also undergo this same procedure of drum brakes cleaning in each periodic services of a vehicle or not.
For example: If my memory is true, our proud member 350Z has never mentioned about the drum brakes cleaning charges in the cost involved for the periodic services of his Ford Fiesta Classic 1.6 SXi car. Whats the reason, did he forget to mention it separately or ford don't do drum brakes cleaning?(I hope this car do have rear drum brakes.)
Regards,.
Kiran.
