Excellent job of explaining this procedure. Thanks.
Yes. Turn the adjuster star wheel the other direction, and squeeze the shoes together. You may need to also squeeze the shoes together at the caliper to get the ends of the caliper that push the shoes out, pushed in enough for the drum to clear.
Good video. I came here just for the part with the adjuster at the end. I was slightly baffled when it came to how to set that right.
same exact truck, changed rear brakes last night and rear passenger drum will not go back on , is there a way i can back off on the adjustment so the drum will go back on ?
way do you still have those dirty gloves during the test drive.. no way. man..jajaja
Chingon de mas ….
Well done, Eric!
anti-sieze on brakes adheres that center hub to the drum, when anti-sieze heats up it acts more as a cement than a anti-sieze lubricant
When You are adjustingthe shoes atthe end are the shoes supposed to touch the drum? or touch slightly? or not at all but close?
this video was really helpfull.
Hey Eric, I really love your videos. I wish you were in Austin, Texas. I have a 1993 Suburban and the fuel gauge is not reading correctly. How can I fix that? I found you last night on Roku and ended up watching about 8 videos until 3am! This morning I watched this video series. I feel smarter already! Thanks.
Would this be the same for a 2001 tahoe?
Eric i have a 99 gmc youkon need help in strip plug transfer case 1/4 lower plug, what can i do?
You probably won’t see this comment, but this video was excellent, Eric. Your other drum brake videos were great (and taught me how to deal with drum brakes), but this one is on another level. The quality, clarity, and approachability of your explanations were fantastic.
When u go in reverse to make that final adjustment, do u press the E-brake or just the regular brake??? I was told it was the E-brake just trying to clear that out.
Ceramic pads make noise every time I have used them. I would not buy them unless you have really nice rims. Eric’s input on this would be good for me also.
Well presented and great detail.
Thanks a lot man.
Thumbs up for part1 and 2…
have a Sentra and a Factory service manual 😀
Call your wife or GF comment is so true. Lol Great Vid as usual.
Only question left is, Eric: Semi-Metallic vs. Ceramic. What’s the difference and what’s better?
На ВАЗ эксцентрики гораздо хуже сделаны, там хрен собьешь и хрен засадишь тормозной барабан без жопной боли. А когда снимешь, то ещё обнаружишь, что манжеты прожили не дольше колодок и все текут. Никогда больше не куплю ВАЗ.
when you changed your brake (disc or drum) have you lubricate everything like slider ,friction point and more? if’s not maybe your brake got stuck and worn them faster (sorry bad english )
The reason that most folks watch the “back brake” videos is that drum brake component replacement will prolly be the most involved thing that the average DYI guy wants. He wants: windshield wiper change; front brake pads and rotor change; oil and air filter change; rear drum and brake shoes assembly change. There are also tricks to getting these components off and cleaning them. After this is an intermediate level.
I ha to change my truck drum break because they have never been changed since the ’99
And now when I break my from brakes are not doin all the job cause I had to change my front brakes twice in within 5 months
what a choice warp rotors or take a chance at warping the car. maybe ceramic pads . If you have shoes in the rear make sure they are adjusted. they don’t help much but when they are out of adjustment the fronts take a heat beating.
Love your videos!! However I did notice that you never torqued the lug nuts when putting the tire back on.
I like the tape trick hope I get a rear brake job with drums tomorrow. It’ll make it less messy for me
shouldnt have. only was down maybe 1/2 inch. i just like to keep things topped off. especially in old cars. but its funny it started right after that… but i gotta go through the brakes anyways. the rotors are warping. which is something i have to deal with on all my vehicles. every time i go down this steep set of hills near where i live it startes it off. its a real pain. either go 75 down some curvy mountain roads, or warp the rotors haha. i also have alot of pull to the driver side…
ur dirty hand mustache is wonky 🙂
i cant believe you grew a mustache in less than half a hour.
I just burst out laughing @8:43 .You just described what happens after 6hours working on the car
Cheaper.
how low was it . you think you got air in the system.
this one is an excellent video one of your best ,but I’ve said that too many times . I think I’ve lost my creditability.
I keep having to turn away from the screen !
No I seen a smokin causes Cancer ad I could not watch .
The tape on the shoes, brilliant! I have always been insane about keeping the shoes clean during re-assembly. This will help me relax a little during my installs.
Good one Eric ! Thanks for that. I am going to try and do my rear brakes eventually. This gives me confidence !
The parking lever kit is sold separate from the hardware kit, there is also a LH & RH parking lever kit.
Hi, I always buy the better quality friction material because they grip better and last longer, the downfall is the rotors & drums wear out faster from the harder friction material. There is a term called brake horsepower to determine the effective gripping action of the brakes… This is a good question and I would like to see comments from other people.
my 74 chrysler newport still has what look to be the original drum brakes. and there is atleast 106 thousand miles on it. i think i need to check things out though. the peddle is feeling a little spungy. but that didnt happen until i topped off the master cylinder… not sure what thats about.
Its my understanding that some of these Chevy drum systems actually use the emergency/parking brake to self adjust. Our ’94 Silverado still has the original shoes from when it was new because the parking brake cable broke soon after we bought it. I always adjusted them and wondered why they always looked new, but we would go through front pads and rotors like crazy. After 200,000mi. Now I know why.
