Boring informative video on how to change the drum brakes in these old beasts. I hope you get all the info you need to repair your brakes yourself and keep your old Betty cruisin down the road!

Was quoted $600 for labor on replacing shoes , drums, and cylinders. But after watching this video It gave me confidence to do it my self. Going to try and knock it out in a couple weeks

Yeaaaaa buddy! Always better to do it yourself if you can. Not gonna lie though, if that’s $600 including parts then that’s not terrible. Drums are $200-300, shoes 75-100, cylinders 20-40, hardware kit 20., fluids, lines, etc… So around 450 in parts. I certainly wouldn’t change these for someone else for $150 🤣 But for myself I guess I’ll suck it up 😎 Let me know how it goes!

I wish I had enough wit to keep my cool when doing my own automechanics. Maybe once I garage is more set up it will become easier, but your flow state is untouched in automechanics as far as I am concerned!!! Great work, brother!

love the video. watching to learn how to work on my 1988 c3500. question, since you are removing the backplate, could you leave the brake pad assembled, remove the entire thing as a unit and work on it on the bench? instead of trying to work those springs on the ground?
@conquercustom8 күн бұрын
Thanks for checking it out! I don’t know honestly know if the whole thing would come off in one piece with all the springs intact. But let me know if that works!

My truck was sitting for years and I believe the break shoes are stuck to the drum. Any ideas for breaking the break drum loose. So far a torch and hammer hasn’t helped. The left rear dually is the problem child.

What's the torque on the locking ring? In many cases, you crank it down to a specific amount then back it off a bit. But I didn't see any mention of that.

I’m not sure, maybe? But if the bleeders are in bad enough shape to break off then it probably wouldn’t hurt to do a brake job and replace the cylinders.
