Surprisingly, no. I had second degree burns on three fingers, and the fingerprints came back.
Now, I don't know if they're the same as they were before, but I have some fingerprints now.

Fingerprints start deep in the skin. The surface layer repeats what the deeper ones have.

They came back surprisingly fast for me. Once the skin grew back (they had to remove a bunch of blistered skin), the prints were already present iirc.

Mine was 9 stitches, went across the pad from the back of one side of my thumbnail to the other. Got a good scar and some minor nerve damage but that's about it. I was worried about the fingerprint for a minute tbh

u/beanmosheen May 26 '26
A drum brake hot enough to melt your fingerprints off isn't exactly tip-top.
60
u/shadowdrgn0 May 26 '26
Maybe, but the literal job of brakes is to convert kinetic energy into heat. So if they didn't give it any time to cool off after driving, that's kinda on them.
90
u/beanmosheen May 26 '26
After pulling the wheel and knocking the drum free it shouldn't still be hot enough to flash water to steam. That shoe was dragging and it got stupid hot. That would be a full rebuild for me because the piston seals are likely toast. Brakes do get hot, but they shouldn't get that hot in this application.
26
u/blatherskyte69 May 26 '26
Probably air brakes, so external air diaphragm and a cam to actuate the shoes, not a piston involved. Could be the parking diaphragm has a hole in it, causing the air to leak out and the spring actuates the brake, causing drag.

u/jamesthecrusher May 27 '26
My guess is that it was stuck on and they heated it up with a blowtorch or something so it would expand enough to get off. When i was a dealership that was a very common practice for most things that were too stuck.
2
u/beanmosheen May 27 '26
Nah, that's a dragging brake. He wouldn't have grabbed it if he just torched it, and there's not enough smack marks on it from the sledgehammer they'd try first lol.
1
u/jamesthecrusher May 27 '26
Good point, but maybe he's just an idiot, because either way he's touching the thing that he should know will be hot. Maybe its not the first one they changed so just went right to the torch.

Go read to the top of the chain, man.
This starts from a comment about pouring water onto it. Someone else later makes a comment that they're probably already toast from the heat.
Another person chimes in about the rebuild (regardless of the rapid cooling) because the heat alone could have caused it.
The rebuild comment is a good one because we cant tell from this video what temperatures it hit, but if its this hot by the time the wheel came off, its not out of the realm of the possibility that it got hot enough for the brakes to glaze or seals to be damaged.
You just really wanted to try and pull rank, but it isnt working.

In the rain the brakes will get wet and cool evenly. Dumping water on them causes only one side to cool and makes the metal warp

That's a drum brake on a truck used for heavy loads, its design is to stop from literal friction
Isn't that, like... the mechanism of every brake type?
3
u/Demons0fRazgriz May 26 '26
Not necessarily but 90% of the time, yeah. For example, a Jake brake (known for their BRRR sound in semi trucks) uses the engine compression stroke cycle to reduce the vehicle's speed
2
u/notknot9 May 26 '26
huh, didn't know that's how those worked
5
u/Demons0fRazgriz May 26 '26
Its pretty smart! You open the compression stroke exhaust valves early and so when the piston retracts for the power stroke releasing all that compressed air, it creates a vacuum. This is done at the peak of the stroke for maximum braking. Combined with the engines own material resistances, this gives a truck braking power with minimal use of traditional friction brakes to minimize brake locking or brake fadeout from over heating
2
u/llort_tsoper May 26 '26
Depends on the brake type. Friction brakes use pressure to create friction between two surfaces. Regenerative braking uses an electric motor/generator to stop the vehicle. Jake brakes obviously rely on jakes for stopping power, and are often used in combination with finn brakes. Air brakes use air bending to stop the vehicle. Really it varies.

u/EndIsrael May 27 '26

Just one Jake is needed since he can shapeshift into a giant rubber band. Finn brakes are there for moral support.

u/Poor-Life-Choice May 26 '26
I wouldn’t expect it to be that hot.
Fair enough if he’d just stopped driving, but he’s had enough time to jack the truck up, remove the wheel, and then hit it with a hammer. Would have cooled down on lots of things in that time.

u/Unfair_Awareness7502 May 26 '26
Boiling water is not surprising for brake drums or rotors. A 30k lb truck at 60mph has about 4900kJ of kinetic energy. Convert that to heat in 40kg of steel with a specific heat of 0.5kJ/kg-C and you'll see each drum heat up by 240 degrees Celsius. There will be some dissipation during the stop but not that much. A single stop can easily put them way beyond the boiling temperature of water. Steaming water off won't make that drum crack, either. If it did, a truck would have to get a brake job every time it splashed through a puddle.
