Hello.

My wheel bearings are pretty worn out after 310,000 km. So, I took the opportunity to get new brake drums as well, since they were already looking quite worn out during the last brake pad change.
Okay, here's the translation:

"Now, to my question: how can I install the ABS rings "gently"? Is there a trick to it? Should I cool the drum, heat the rings, use lubricant, or use a screwdriver...?"
I had the tires replaced about 40,000 km ago, and if they're still in good condition, which I think they are, I'd like to keep them. What do you think?

Thank you for the tips.

Just place a thick piece of metal on top of the entire ring and gently tap it with a rubber mallet. They're not usually that difficult to get on.

hello
Thank you for the quick reply; sometimes, you just think too complicated icon_smile.gif.
I'd like to finish assembling the drum now. Can you tell me which way I need to press the rotor in?
Does the "plane" surface face the drum brake or the other way around?
"Thank you."
