Mud packing into the front brakes

8358 Views 27 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  mudder fudder
Every time after muden i have to take off my tires and drum and spray out all this mud. The mud eats up my brakes real fast also. I clean it real good and re-grease it every time. there is a rubber seal that is on the drum thats I put grease on but it dosent seal good. Any one else having this problem? what can I do?

You would probably have an easier time finding someone who doesn't have this problem. The drum brakes suck the only thing you can do is get the disk conversion.
And the conversion is well worth the cost...I did it last year and they are great....You can come out of a mudhole and stop on a dime....
Yep, time for disc brakes! This is the ONLY way to combat the bad brakes problem.

yea the honda drum brakes in the front SUCK !!!!! but i wonder if you could make your own disc brake conversion by using say 400ex front disc brakes and mod all the brackets up yourself ?? can this be done or has anyone done this !!!!!! ????????
disc brakes

Call Matthew at www.atvoutfitters.net, he will give u the best price. If you call and he doesn't answer, leave a message, he will get back to ya. He runs that place alone and stays very busy. I've been trying to get him to hire me PT and work for parts..lol
Well good i thought it was only my foreman that was doing this I told the guys at the honda shop and they acted like i was Crazzy. Well i guess i'll be saving for disk brakes.
i hate disk brakes. i wish. 450 foreman or 500 rubicon 04 front brakes. whould fit on a foreman 500
