You know it’s a woman when you call parts “guy” and “buddy” and need 75
pairs of gloves… Anyways very helpfull video
Nice job I studied this video and a few other before attempting with my
corolla. A few tips: 1.) Use a bar clap during reassembly. It’s really a
3 handed operation. With hands free no special tools needed. 2.) Do not
use the special spring “tong tool”. It has a “point” that is supposed to
rest on the shoe. if you’re not quick/efficient it will chip the shoe.
Use two hands to power that if needed. 3.) Retract the “turnbuckle”
adjuster screw as much as possible, so spring will go on easier. 4.) Apply
the grease after everything is installed. The drums are “floating” just
pull it away from back plate a little and carefully apply grease at the
points. 5.) Also(on corolla’s) the retaining clip(5/16″) is “one time use
only” so pickup a few at dealership. During removal just twist/break the
old ones off. Enjoy…
does anyone know of a made in Japan brand for auto parts need rear brakes
and hardware kit for a 1999 Corolla. Please help!
That’s how you’re supposed to jack it up, get a clue dude. That’s the
safest place to use that jack especially.
Great post just got a used corolla and pads were in the trunk. So I will
replace them been a while since I’ve done rear drums. Thanks for the post.
You just got a subscription.
One safety advice though, when removing/installing the lug nuts manually,
never pull, but push down instead with your foot, to avoid injuring your
back and if the socket gives out, you won’t “fly” backward just like when
playing tug of war when your opponent suddenly lets go of the rope while
you were pulling him/her towards you.
Well..,disc brakes works too right????
You adjust the starwheel to make the brake shoes “expand outward” so much
until you can barely put brake drum back on.(a tight fit between the brake
shoes lining and the inner drum surface. One screwdriver to push away the
stopper, another screwdriver to actually turn the starwheel(faster and
easier adjustment, and to avoid damaging the “stars” with your screwdriver
turning it.)
good vid you sent youre 12 though
Yeah, that noise was the actual noise it made. DROVE ME NUTS! But whenever
I took it in to the mechanic, it never made the noise. That’s when I
decided to do this job myself!
Thanks, and good luck!
The Original breaks look pretty new you can tell by the appearance of the
springs, I could be wrong…Hmmm
never put your fingers on the spring!
Thank you for this video – I found out from elsewhere that I had to adjust
the star-wheel but didn’t know how to do it until I saw you doing it. (I
had to adjust it in, not out, though.) Saved my bacon!
Do yourself a favor and never remove the first Jack stand from it position
instead use it to raise the car and leave in its place then place the
second one right by it’s side just like you did, this will be your safety
harness in case the vehicle decides to drop, first Jack stand will prevent
it from happening and also place the tire underneath the car that will be
you 3rd safety harness; the car can be replace your limb can’t, safety
should always play a part when doing any repair on a car.
HELPFUL HINT; Do ONE side at a time so you can refer to the other side for
spring placement.
You’re welcome!
would have been nice if you showed us how the clip came off in the end
I dont undersand why toyota still uses this obsolete drums. Smh.
Since no body part is going underneath the vehicle, just jack up the the
car, put the jack stand under a sturdy point of the vehicle(use your own
judgement, it’s your safety, not mine)lower the jack just enough for the
vehicle’s weight to sit on the jack stand, and get on with it! Stop doing
redundant things!
The drum has two holes…All you have to do is grab two 8×1.25 bolts from
an autoparts store, fret the bolts into the holes, then tight them up! the
drum will come off quick.
Also great work, let this be a lesson ladies if she can repair her break
and save lots of money so can you…lolo
Great video. I couldn’t read the brake shoes, drums brand name. Where did
you buy them?
lol i wouldve flipped out on the c clip part
Thanks!
Watch the video “Changing the rear springs on a Toyota Yaris” @ 55sec OMG
Thanks
make sure the hand brake isn’t pulled up before you try and take off the
drum.
Nice job on the break shoe installation. It was a bit scary when you use
the flat head to force the top spring in. My older brother use to do it the
same way. I can tell that you are fearless, you like a challenge, and that
you are a really smart person. Oh, I love the break noise sound you put at
the end of the video, that was so funny. Brake noise drives me crazy too.
i love it your fast real time work video, other people edit it. But now i
can know how difficult it’s to me in my first time.
Why woul you replace those there brand new
You are really awesome for tackling this repair alone, my cousin and I
didn’t have a clue but we’re a lil more confidence now that we’ve seen your
vid, hopefully we can get this done by the end of the weekend…. thats if
Lao new year doesnt’ get in the way.
yeah i do love that noise
De nada!
We need more women like you.
