Keep in mind that if your going to pull a brake drum to examine the brake pads, you may end up with more on your hands than you bargained for. Older brake drums that have not been removed in some time can create quite a challenge to the novice.

When I was a kid.....like 45 years ago.....I did brake jobs on most of the vehicles I owned. Like a '66 Ford Econoline, '67 Chevy Malibu, '67 Ford Fairlaine, '68 Chevy BelAir, etc. I have some experience with pulling old brake drums. Lots of sweat can occur!! Just know what your getting into with brake drums!!
