I had a great day off but now it’s time to get back to it, enjoy. 1999
Chevy Tahoe Rear Shoe Replacement (Part 1)
Thanks to the explanation
real mechanics no what an what not to take not of in technical manuals i
have jacked up many cars vans 4x4s forklifts plant and hgvs by the diff as
it is strong enough to carry the weight of the vehicle and you can lift
both sides at the same time as long as the jacking point is secure there is
no reason the jack should slip. and dont belive haynes i cant tell you how
many vehicles i have worked on that have broken due to the owner following
a haynes manual.
I think Eric keeps in mind he may have some younger veiwers and he always
keeps his cool, Does not swear as kids may be watching, and hell he can
pretty much figure most sht out with out it getting to him.
Best thing to do is go watch the older videos till part 2 comes out.I have
watched all his videos like 10 times each.
No NO. in the late 80’s. ( I think it was 1987), asbestos was removed from
the brakes. I was there and remember afterwards, brake shoes and pads only
lasting a few months after they removed it. But…….. the Bush
administration allowed it back in after lawsuits were filed. The Clinton
administration did squat and so, asbestos is back IN your brakes. Did you
notice that pads/shoes last for a long time now. Check out the book “An air
that Kills’ to check my statement out for facts.
Drum brakes suck 🙁
I just watch the re-runs LOL.
There are some diffs that are aluminum. It’s not obvious that it is
aluminum unless you’re in a rust prone area or you have a magnet handy. And
it’s not just race cars with aluminum diffs, some Jeeps have them too.
Aluminum diffs can deform and be ruined if you lift by them. Otherwise,
though, it is sometimes an acceptable lift point (the FSM for my Jeep says
it is IF you have the steel diff instead of the aluminum one).
Well on older cars like my Ford explore it’s a 93 and the only place on
many older cars to get a secure Jacking up is By it, and with the jack and
2 jack stands you are 99.9% safe that the truck will not fall and crush you.
Guy at my work told me like 80% of the brakeing is actually the front
brakes and the rear brakes dont do as much thats why they last so long.
Stick around if you want to know how to work on cars you are in the right
place.Go check out all his videos
always hated brake shoes replacement… still hating it… good informative
video 🙂
yup! still using them on plenty of 2012 models too! Don’t change something
that works!!
I would like a new video every day but oh well.
WOW I just noticed those cracks from heat, when I replaced my flywheel it
was the same way, I dont drive it like a moron I imagine the last owner
drove it and got it hot alot.
Thanks for the vid. Preparing for my exams next week, and one of the things
i’m unsure of is drum brakes. My brand havent stopped with drumbrakes 10
years ago, so we rarely see any.
Drums last forever.
Eric does not get that pissed all that often, Yes he has got pissed but you
will never see him show that,That is why he is Eric the Car guy. , He deals
with it, and he also knows that maybe some kids watch his videos, so if you
expect him to cuss, dont count on it.
really? a car from 99 with drums? seriosly usa, volvos had real disks and
calliper in 1980
Excellent video.
You can knock those tabs out for the adjuster & buy the rubber plugs
yourself. Plugs aren’t that expensive.
You do a great job of teaching people how to do the work safely and explain
why things are done this way… I just bought a 97 and it has brake
problems, thanks for the video.
It will be along in time Eric likes to make us wait for the videos LOL.
Dont worry I am always saying where is Part 2 , give it a day or two. XD
Back bracks only do 20% of the stopping power.. Not much need for them.
I have one of those drum pullers. They don’t rent them at the auto store.
You get them from JC Whitney’s. They cost around $50. They are not as thick
as you would think. You don’t pull with them. What you do, is put them on
and gradually tighten while lightly tapping the pullers arms. It helps but
dont expect it to just pull off the drum. Its made of thin steel and breaks
easily.
Thats why I said he is the best!!! He takes his time to actually show you
step by step of how to do the job the right way and he actually teaches you
what each part is used for and how to use them. And with Eric he actually
shows you what tools you need to do the job. I was watching briansmobile on
YouTube and brian doesn’t take the time to do these things as I requested
from him. Instead brian sends me a pissy message on his page telling me he
doesn’t have the time to put that in his videos!
I know, but it’s 2012. They ought to be phased out already in favor of
four-wheel disks.
hey eric, i had a question, in my autoshop class my teacher told us some
older cars contained asbestos dust inside the drum brake from the shoes.
just wondering if you know any older cars that contained these shoes? and
even if its true?
There are alot of Mechanics on the NET, But no one is as in depth as Eric,
he shows you the whole thing all the way, not even step by step you see the
whole Job from start to finish , if you need to do it, you just watch the
video and you are 100% ok.
Hell yeah , If anyone asks me who showed you that I say Eric The Car Guy,
and leave it there.
Eric need help got a 99 gmc youkon striped transfer case plug,it’s a 1/4
plug what can i do?
