Lube for drum/parking brake adjuster

[JHZR2]

What’s the right product to use on this?

PB works reasonably well. May adjust another few clicks, but figure it should be lubed before.

This is a parking brake drum inside a rotor hat.

Take it apart, clean the (internal) threads, use the anti sieze or dry lube of your choice. What's important is getting rid of the cake of brake dust that invariably forms around and inside the things.

You can get it out easily, just stretch the shoes to expand the pictured spring and it'll fall out.

Is the photo weird or does that shoe not have much lining?

I have a tub of wide temp white lithium grease I use for this application. Works for me.

As mentioned, clean then anti-seize. I prefer copper, but others will work.

Take it apart, use Brakleen to clean it, dry with compressed air and re-lube with anti-seize paste (preferably nickel based).

anti-seize. I prefereed my copper based anti-seize because it never dries out, and doesn't swell rubber (the latter not important in this case)

That’s the metal end of the shoe. The lining starts further on and is a few mm thick.

Cleaned threads, wiped with Krown oil and some c5 antiseize.

I use the AC Delco silicone paste (shrug). No idea if that's correct but we also tend to get minimal corrosion due to near zero humidity

I call this a high wash area. I usually use antiseize, though I would also consider using silicone grease.

Just a dab of bearing/chassis lube.
