drum brake

I did clean everything. The rubber seal looks like new.

The rubber seal had a 1/4 bead of white grease all the way around it. The Grease got into the drum along with dirt. Made a mess.

The question I am asking now is:
Do you grease the big rubber seal at all?
and
Do you grease the pivot points on the brake shoes?

I have never heard of doing this. perhaps the grease was there as a water repellent.

I was always taught grease and brakes don't do to well together...

and they will pop out.
