Matt, the video was a big help when I did my wrangler. I did notice one
thing beside the cross member being upside down. Take a look at the cable
and the little triangular piece. In other videos it shows the cable going
on after the retaining piece. Let me know your thoughts.
Hi , how it´s going buddy ,
sometimes ,jeep´s rear brake lock , do you know about it ?
don’t forget to take pictures and you have pesky wives and kids who want
you do do stuff while your covered in brake dust and mud and grime and crap
you will forget stuff and a hour or so job turns into a whole day job
sitting outside in the dark working on your dusty dirty freaking truck…
ask me how I know. thankfully we all have smartphones now adays but that
wasn’t the case when I did these on my own for the first time about 4 years
ago…
You never showed how to take the drum off. I’ve got my wheel off and jeep
is on stands, but I can’t get the hub or drum or whatever it is off to
access the brake components …
Thanks for the vid! Just finished my rear shoe replacement. It wasn’t as
bad as I thought it was going to be.
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Was literally just looking for a drum video from bj, thanks man solved
alota problems!
thanks
I don’t see a lot on the internet about ZJ rear disks to XJ conversions. It
seems like its worth it. Not so complicated.
Glad to see I am not the only one to have such trouble with them.
How hard is to access the four bolts keeping the drum on the axle with the
axle actually being there? I’m changing my drums for another pair and it
seems easy enough in this video, but I’d rather not take the axle out.
The little cable pieces is part of the self-adjuster. Most likely they dont
work anyway due to age. I always just threw it away and manually adjusted
the brakes. Makes its much more simple.
cool explanation. I also have rear brake drums and everytime I go
offroading on Mud, they get in pretty bad shape
You’ve changed since the last time we laid down together
Thank you, your video was exactly what I needed.
That crossmember is orientated incorrectly. The middle part of it is
supposed to be up, not down. If you look at the picture you took, it shows
it that way.
Brake fluid, it’s cheap.
Looks like the left cylinder is leaking. Also the cross bracket is upside
down. I attach everything first then put springs on.
you put a piece in upside down
Vise grips
What about a disc break conversion video later down the line? Just a
suggestion
ya, I noticed that when editing the video… dammit!
Drum brakes are a huge pain in the neck. Thanks for the demo!
dude…buy the tools that make this easier…lol..
more brake fluid
not to point out your mistakes or nothing. just to let you know
Evil drum brakes. I’ll never own a vehicle that has drum brakes.
thanx for your Videos ! But the smal cable is part of the self adjusting
System, not the emergancy brake 😉 To push down the small springs that hold
the shoes in place I take a ring plier and for removing and installing the
strong springs that push the shoes together I take a grip wrench(locking
pliers) to be sure not to hurt myself 😉
If the Brake Lines are contaminated and you need to flush them what is the
best way to do it? flushing them with Water, gasoline, diesel other??
