Maintenance After Off-Road Driving After extended operation in mud, sand or water, or similar dirty conditions, have your brake drums, brake linings, and axle joints inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. This will prevent any abrasive material from causing excessive wear or unpredictable braking action. CAUTION! When replacing plugs, do not overtighten. You could damage them and cause them to leak.
