Es gibt seltsame Geräusche beim Fahren. Es ist ein schabendes Geräusch, das man besonders in Kurven hört. Das macht mir Sorgen und ich versuche die Ursache zu finden.
Ich bocke den Wagen auf und untersuche die einzelnen Räder. Die Vorderräder sind unauffällig.
There are strange noises while driving. It is a scraping noise that you hear especially in curves. That worries me and I try to find the cause.
I jack up the car and examine the individual wheels. The front wheels are inconspicuous.
I don't notice anything on the left rear wheel either. But on the last one, the right rear wheel, something is wrong.
The wheel is quickly dismantled. First the brass hub cap is screwed down and the castle nut with the cotter pin is loosened. Then you can pull the wheel down if it does not stick on the cone. But it does.
Never mind, there is a special puller for this.
And you can already see the cause of the noise. A brake spring has come loose and was crushed in the brake drum.
What a luck that I have already bought the springs new. It is quickly installed. First I tried to lever them onto the brake shoes with a screwdriver. Thereby it flew away twice. It is much easier to mount the spring and the brake shoes outside the brake drum and then put both together into the brake drum.
Probably, the spring was also the reason why the handbrake had always squeaked while driving. I am curious if that was the case.
