Hey guys,
I hope somebody can help me out with that. I have to go to inspection each year here in Thailand, and each year they report kind of the same issue. They tell me to take a picture, drive to the local car garage, that dude jumps underneath the car, seems to push the break calipers of the drum break back in from around the drum with a flathead screwdriver, and inspection goes thru green after that. It's only on one side.. but I forgot which one.
That issue started since the year I've had the whole drums and internals replaced by exactly the same garage.
My first guess is that when assembling the break back then, they forgot some spring or whatever, and just bushfixed it in (as they always do here) and for that reason those calipers (or whatever he's pushing back in each time) need to be pushed back in.
Both screenshots are from failing that test, first in 2022 then in 2023, after they had been replaced in 2021.
If somebody could give me an explanation what's that all about with those values on the screen would be great. I could do a follow up, and take a picture from inside the drum, if that further helps and if somebody could give me a hint which side it is. It's super hard to get those damn lugnuts off, since those idiots here always use the impact wrench full force.
Thanks for the help
