Hello.
I have a problem with the Corsa C 1.2 2004 car, drums without ABS on the back.
After replacing the jaws with new ones, the drum of the rear right wheel began to heat up.
What I've checked so far:
* Jaws are new, drums without edges, all springs are new, everything is thoroughly cleaned, the self-adjuster works without any resistance.
* All 100% well assembled.
* Brakes bleed.
* The cylinder is pressed in easily, I can do it with my fingers.
* I rather ruled out the manual rope because when I lift the car you can hear a slight rubbing, the rope at the wheel is loose, even when I push it into the drum by force, the rubbing does not go away.
The problem is strange in that when I adjust the self-adjuster so that I can easily put the drum on, there is no wiping, the manual works, but after a few brakes, the self-adjuster widens the jaws and heating begins, what could be the reason?
I am sure that the self-adjuster expands because I took photos after assembly and after another disassembly when after a few days it started to warm up again and it was evident that the self-adjuster widened the jaws by a few thread turns.
Then, after driving 20-30 kilometers, the drum is so hot that it is hard to touch it.
I write here because I no longer have an idea what could be the reason, several times I undressed, folded, checked, one around 100% ok, and the other heats up. I also have new slides on the cable at the back of the beam.
Not my picture but I have it submitted in the same way:
I am asking for advice. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that the self-regulator works too lightly (too well cleaned) but is it possible ... The only thing I have translated is the old washers under the plates moving the self-regulator.
