Rear drum brake	Randy	3-9-04
I have a 1985 winnebago chieftan 26. I was trying to fix my rear brakes. When I took off the rear drum I notice that the entire inside of the drum and the brake shoes were coated with bearing grease. I figured that that was why my rig wasn't stopping to well. I cleaned up the drums but now when I apply just a little pressure to the brakes it seems that the front brake disks don't touch and the rear brakes grab and stop violently. Any possible help would be appreciated. I don't know if I should re bleed the entire system or replace the rear wheel cylinder or maybe both. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I would check the adjustment on my rear breaks, the front pads, and bleed the sys real good. Garry

Randy - I expect you don't need any suggestions to first find out how the bearing grease (don't you really mean rear end gear oil?) got on the brakes and mostly likely need to replace the seal (no fun there). Second, grease reduces the friction of steel on steel, but it makes brakes grab, so replace the contaminated brake shoes. Then consider that generally with drum brakes in the rear and disc brakes in front, which most vehicles have these days, there is a metering valve that requires the rear brakes to apply first before the front brakes are energized. Good luck!
