Nother subaru question: Brake drums.
« on: Mar 09, 2007, 04:13:24 PM »
I gots some squeeelin coming from the brakes and the pedal is kinda low.  Figured it would be the fronts but I checked and they have plenty of pad and I bled em and it made no difference for the pedal pressure.  So I figure it must be the rears.  It is a 98 Forester with damn rear drums...anyone dealt with these.  Are they as much a pain as the stupid toyota drums?  Easy project?  Or all day swear fest?

Spanks!  :turtle3:
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Hey man, drum brakes are the bomb. I wish there was a front drum brake conversion kit for my Hilux on the market! I'd use it!

Those are easier, drums should come off with little effort.
Retiring the 91
