A non- working brake light in a 2000 Ford F150 led to overheating and the need for replacement of the emergency brake shoes. This video details how to do this job on a vehicle with rear disc brakes along with emergency drum brakes. Similar vehicles are the ’97-’03 F250, Expedition and Lincoln Navigator.

Great job. Getting ready to do the brakes on my borther's 1999 F150 with 300K miles on the clock. It should be fun.
I did both rear brake pads and rotors yesterday… on one the asbestos fell off the drum brake on the other side there was no drum brake at all.. how much trouble am I looking at
Hey good job, thanks.
Excellent instructions many thanks
thanks good job
Good video, however some penetrant on the springs clips and adjuster would've made life easier. Also disassemble the adjuster clean it up and apply some brake grease to the threads. I'm surprised the shoes didn't come with a new spring kit clips ect… Would've also made the job go easier.
Do you have to dial back the self adjuster to set the gap?
If you wanted to set the adjuster prior to installing the new brake shoes. Is there setting. measurement or number of turns you could do?
I'm sure its in the comments b4, change the accessories like the springs, they're work out and rusted. They're cheap. No sense. using new shoes and mechanically worn out old springs and hold down clamps
Thanks! I'm about to replace mine.
appreciate the video
I know you cheated. Those rotors do not just slide off like that. You popped them earlier didn't you there Skippy 😉
I've tried to get my Excursion rotors off to service the e-brake and I stopped only short of using dynamite. The e-brake hasn't worked in 15 years and will continue to do so until I can get those fuggin rotors off.
does this fix a emergency brake that does not engage?
So you replace the brakes but don’t show the actual cable and how to replace
Anyone doing this A) put the truck on jack stands, never work under a jack. B) pull the x bracket and clean it up, file or bench wire brush will clean em right up.
That rusty lever that the cable hooks on can cause the brakes to stick in the on position!!
Great video! Helped me immensely
The 250 is a completely different setup. The title is in error. Good video of this setup though.
I have a 98 F150 with rear drum brakes instead of disc. Is there a separate set of emergency brakes for my truck or is it the drum brakes? By the way, this past summer I replaced my starter with your video, you were a huge help with that, thanks!
