Today I’m replacing the rear brake shoes on my Daughters 2008 Toyota Yaris. Check the links below for brake shoes and replacement rotors (if necessary), and the other tools and parts required to complete the job. Always put in your exact car model to be sure these parts fit. This process isn’t as easy as disk brakes, but it is totally doable with only a few tools.

you would have found it easier had you have read the manual first ..
Why streak sound come up in rear tyre when I pressed the break at stop position and little release the break in yaris 2016 model while customer leave the car.????
When you placed the plastic container below the brakes, I thought you were on the right track of carefully processing the rear brakes which carry a lot of brake dust. But then you did not do the right thing of first spraying brake cleaner all over the brakes to collect the dust in the plastic container and you were not wearing gloves when you handle the brake components and all the hazardous dust. Other than that, your video is very clear and detailed.
Did you just jack up the rear on the thin metal rail? Also, where did you place that jack stand?
Thanks
Changing brake shoes is much harder than changing disc brakes.
Dad! My hand brakes does not work anymore after you worked on it. How do I drift my car now?
Thanks! My son has a Scion XA … same as a Yaris but with a different body shape. I've done oil changes and the front brakes, but the rear has me intimidated. I'll have this video by my side when I do his rear brakes.
Just finished this on my son's car, absolute pig of a job, made the mistake of buying cheap replacement parts including the shoes and a replacement hub cylinder for the one that was leaking, the $17.99 cylinder did not fit as well as the original and the $23 brake shoes were very poorly made so my advice is pay a bit more for the parts, probably no need to get Toyota but certainly not bargain basement. At the end of it all the hub did not want to go on even though the adjuster was maxed all the way in but managed it after a lot of fiddling. This is not a job I want to do again.
Thanks to your demo,GOD BLESS YOU.
Thankyou so much Dan Holt… my question is "@Final When I'm fixing the drum Its should be drag with brake shoe or free from it.
G’day,may I know the size of the bolts?thanks
Thanks man, your video gave me the confidence to try this out and successfully complete the change. The first time around was hard, but the second one went fairly smooth. Thanks man.
Thanks for the good tutorial! Even though I’ve done these a few times, it’s still nice to double check that I’m doing things right.
Nice tutorial! However, it seems to me that the job was not needed to be done. The old shoes look like they still have some meat on them and can safely handle additional 50,000km. They carry only about 30 per cent of the braking forces so they last a lot longer comparing to the front brakes.
Great work. dear keep it up
You can do adjustment from the rear of the drum, no need to open again and again
Is it only the rear wheels that have the drum brakes and fronts have disks? I have an 07 Yaris. I hope I don’t need to Change the rear pads!
Hi. Thx for vid. Contemplating trying this job. Plz tell me what you mean at 1:35 “ make sure you have blocked right side tires.“ I’m not sure what block the tires means.
Also, you said at that point as well, to make sure the emergency brake is off. But my car is manual transmission so if I don’t have the emergency brake on it rolls away. So should I just keep my emergency brake on?
You're a good dad Dan.
Good onyer mate.
Watched this to make sure I didn't get any surprises when I did my 2008 Prius (same brakes). Found my left rear brake wasn't working because one adjuster is left hand thread and the other is right hand and someone in the past put the wrong one on the left. The left rear brake wasn't even working any more because the adjuster was turning the wrong way. This job is easier if you install the hold down springs on the shoes first and then install the adjuster springs.
Drum brakes should be outlawed.
Thanks ready to my sisters Yaris now f yeah
Great DIY video and now I'm ready to do it my self on my Yaris.
THANK YOU DAN! LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO..LOOKING FORWARD TO TACKLING THIS JOB ON MY 2008 YARIS!
