Came to this video after watching most recent only, I can confirm, the passion is the same, but the excitement is different..
Hey Chris , Hello from 2019! Nice video . It gave me a lot info before I replace brake drums on my Toyota Yaris! Thanks again
I would've replaced the slave cylinder with the brake shoes.
what happens if you take the break shoe from the drum
are all drum brakes the same on all vehicles
Nice. Especially with the idea of using the photos.
Although would have liked to see tips about final adjustments, particularly the parking breake.
I find replacing drum brakes a little intimidating. Disk Brakes are a breeze. Thank you for the video though. #stillafan #JerseyStrong
Thank you so much for a well made drum brake video. Very helpful!
I hate changing brake drum pads. Yuck
No wonder it doesnt work there is a bolt in it
how about How to adjust parking brake?
Stuff that job. Saw you miss the RHS piston on the pad, that must have sucked after putting the RHS spring on.
Thanks Chris- Great instructional. You made everything clear, didn't skip stuff other videos seem to do so much assuming the viewer already knows some stuff. Find it much better, makes me feel better prepared to do a job cuz you break everything down to the simplest level, which even if I do already know something you are going over I appreciate it when you go over some issue that seems simple enough but I didn't know prior. Helped me alot.
Thanks for the video. Note: at 6:08, Chris removes the parking brake cable entirely. I highly recommend not doing this – mine was incredibly difficult to reinstall (added about 1 hour to the job, and I have an identical truck with identical 10" drum brakes). Just leave that arm attached to the parking brake cable, and remove it from the shoe via the c-clip style fastener. I did this on my 2nd side and it was much, much quicker.
Such a simple piece of advice, and I'm sure it's going to make most of my car work much easier, thank you.  Take a picture before I start, print it out.  Thanks for the tips and the great video.
"WOW".This is the best video on changing brake shoes I have ever seen.  (and I have seen a lot)  For sure you have helped a lot of people with this tutorial.. Good job!!   Sounds like your from the north east. I'm from R.I., and I sound like you.
You have the best tutorials on Youtube, hands down. The only thing I would do differently is change out the wheel cylinder while I'm in there. But other then that, I couldn't do it better myself. Keep the videos coming, bud!
Great Job thanks for the refresherÂÂÂ
Excellent.
My 1996 Honda accord had rear drums too. The handbrake wasn't working so on closer inspection, the wheel cylinders were bad and one of the springs on the back right drum wasn't on. After fixing that and tightening the handbrake cable, it works better. Not like new, but better.
And one more thing, some people are not a fan of putting new shiny parts on old dirty parts, me included. How about painting the rear drums for a different color than gray and the center hub which is rusty?
Thank you, this video was extremely helpful. The only thing that made it harder for me was that I didn't have any wrenches to snap the spring on. I made due with a regular pair of pliers.
nice video. very appreciated !…ÂÂÂ
Do yo gave to replace the drum to, or will only the brakes cut it.ÂÂÂ
Hey does this works for 1996 mazda b4000 ?
You, sir, have just replaced my Haynes manual. First brake job completed without too much hassle. Thanks.
dose it matter what side it is on or if its the rear or the front
Thanks! Not nearly as difficult as I had anticipated.ÂÂÂ
