Now that I have my brakes torn down, all my parts have arrived, I'm looking forward to a weekend of cleaning and reassembly...finally. A couple of questions.
1.) on the drum shaft, I'm assuming anti-seize grease should be applied after a proper cleaning before installing the new drum. Don't want to deal with another seized drum should they ever need to be removed again.
2.) on the brake cam shaft the manual calls for regular grease, but again I'm thinking anti-seize grease. Since I had one cam fused to the cover plate, I don't want that to happen again.
Any recommendations on anti-seize grease brand/make? I have a tube that I picked up from Advanced Auto once upon a time, but don't know if there are some brands/types that are better than others.
3.) And my last question. The drums that I removed have no holes for a wheel puller and that made the removal a real PITA. I'm making the assumption that my new replacements I'm picking up tomorrow will be the same. I've seen pictures of the JD750 drums and some of the Yanmar drums have three good sized holes in the back that allow for a wheel puller. Would it be wise to have the same type holes drilled into my new drums for future ease of removal or might that compromise the integrity of the drum? They're pretty hefty, but holes is holes and I don't want to screw up a perfectly good install.
Thank you.
