why spend so much time showing obvious stuff then completely cut out the
stuff thats its meant to show?!? i know this guy is trying to help but the
video needs to be renamed how to clean out rear brakes

redonKiLaus says:

If you are referring to the jackstands, they are 3 ton Hein-Werner
available on Amazon and proudly made in the USA. Thanks for watching!

canoeshoe says:

Is your jack suppose to angle like that? I’m looking for a jack like that.

redonKiLaus says:

I did do the job. For someone who is the least bit mechanically inclined,
it is very easy. I am sorry you find it difficult. Thanks for watching.

Ian P says:

I’m sorry but that video is a safety video not a rear brake drum repair.
its a very difficult job. you didn’t replace those drums yourself…you
miss the whole point of the video.you didn’t even talk about how you remove
and replace the small spring on the adjusting lever spring. if you are not
experience mechanic please don’t mess with your rear drum you will have to
tow your vehicle to your local mechanic to get it fix….

redonKiLaus says:

No problem, thanks for watching. There is an instruction sheet that comes
with the Toyota shoe kit, so that should help as well.

Luis Costa says:

I agree 100%. Along with the jackstands, I too place the tire under the
frame. I do this when putting a spare tire on while out on the trail. Very
good idea.

redonKiLaus says:

I work for a company that is so intense on safety that I sometimes forget
and do it by nature. I hope I was not lecturing too much on safety in this
video but safety is important. The actual job was so simple that a kid
could do it.

Luis Costa says:

Safety first!!

04495-35230. Be sure to check that it is the right part number for your
model.

Hello redonKilLaus, they never do it nearly as careful as you do in the
shops I go to but their repairs seem to work just fine. Regardless, this
vieo just goes to show why doing it yourself is better, aside from saving
the money.

redonKiLaus says:

Thank you for watching the video and for the fine complement. The few times
I have taken vehicles into the dealers they always come back screwed up.
Case in point: the Toyota dealer stripped out our transmission drain plug
and pan when I had the fluid changed by them a few years ago. That was a
long and painful repair.

FRED OLI says:

I like the safety process, you are using, but working on my garage you will
make lots of money, doing one car a day ,,,,,,,if you get to finished 🙁

CaptainsAviation says:

When you spend the time to do a video in order to help others, given that
was the purpose of the video, you assume people have very little knowlege
of the subject, am I correct? I mean otherwise, why would someone put an
instructional video that shows how to take the drum off…I am willing to
bet people can do that on their own….Taking the springs off, showing the
90 degree turn and the technic of putting the spring back, adjusting the
brake is more involved than showing how to takeoff drum.

FRED OLI says:

thats very good, but in this video look like the age is taken your toe, LOL

1mtk says:

What are you a car doctor? 😀

redonKiLaus says:

Thanks for watching!

redonKiLaus says:

Which toe, my left one or my right one? TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

redonKiLaus says:

That’s clever, you ‘oughta see me in the surgical theater asking for
widgets and sprockets during brain surgery. Some people think it’s funny,
I’m not sure if the patients do or not. If they laugh their bill is
cheaper.

redonKiLaus says:

Thanks for your comment, I will work harder to make better videos. The
instructions that came with the brake shoes from Toyota were very clear,
and I did not feel that further explanation was needed.

redonKiLaus says:

No, I’m a brain surgeon by night. ;D

redonKiLaus says:

Like I have said previously, next time I will explain in more detail for
those who cannot comprehend the written instructions from Toyota. I
actually had my 12 year old daughter do much of the work inside the drum
because she has smaller hands and could manipulate the parts easily,
although I did remove the springs.

Sonyag1 says:

FYI…A small fan in your shop set to ‘low’ pointing out of the garage
would do a good job of pushing the fumes/dust out of your work area. Good
video. 🙂

1mtk says:

Scalpal…check…

redonKiLaus says:

Comment well taken. Thanks for watching.

CaptainsAviation says:

Great job u until you did the work and not show….If the instructions are
so simple and I am sure they are then there’s no point of this
video….Taking the drum off is something everyone can do….

redonKiLaus says:

Really, the instruction that comes with the shoes is so unbelievably simple
to follow that I couldn’t see the point in stating the obvious.
