Restore Reliable Deceleration With Genuine Brake Drums

Brake drums serve as the master structural friction surface for traditional rear braking systems, designed to dissipate heat while providing a stationary and safe stopping force. For the Honda Fit, these cylindrical assemblies house the internal shoes that expand against the inner wall to decelerate your vehicle during roadway travel. Over time, high-RPM expeditions and road salt can cause the internal iron to warp or develop rhythmic scoring.

How to Replace Your Rear Brake Drum

For the best results, use the following guidelines:

1. Secure the Chassis

Loosen the wheel lugs while the Fit is stationary and then jack the vehicle up on heavy-duty stands for removal.

2. Release the Parking Brake

Ensure the vehicle is blocked properly and release the cable tension to allow the drum-brake to slide free.

3. Release Retention Hardware

Use an impact driver to gently unlock the stationary hex screws anchoring the unit to the hub face.

4. Extract the Used Drum

Carefully pull the old drum-rear brake toward you; use a rubber mallet if grit has caused the unit to seize.

5. Seat New Genuine Module

Position the unit until centered and stationary, ensuring the mounting holes align perfectly.
