Show Leakage of Grease Onto Brake Drums Is Harmful Another condition that Is the result of warm weather Is the leakage of grease from rear axle Interiors and the attendant excessive deposits of that material on the brake drums, especially es-pecially on the Inner periphery against which the emergency or Internal brake bands act. This reduces braking eftl clency to a considerable degree and wherever such deposits are found, they should be removed by cleaning the parts thoroughly with gasoline, even if this should necessitate removing the wheels to gain access to the brake drum interior. The leakage Is usually caused by the thinning out of the grease due to high operating temperatures tempera-tures in the axle Interior, Scientific American. |
