For this operation, you will need the following tools: socket wrench, screwdriver set, brake cleaner, and extractor rags. First operation: lift the vehicle and remove the wheel bolts and the wheel itself.

Remove the hub protection cover and take off the nut, then dismantle the drum using the appropriate extractor. If it is stuck, use a hammer to loosen it. Use a wire brush to remove dirt and rust from the inside and outside of the drum.

Unscrew the brake screws and remove all parts. Clean all brake components thoroughly from rust, mud, and deposits to prevent seizing.

Refit the drum with the nut and close it with the cover.
