I swear you edited out 4 hours of frustration and cursing. Come on, be honest...

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK just like this, note you need to adjust the parking brakes before reinstalling the calibers and pads. Once you install the brakes you can’t access the adjuster. Install the rotor, tighten brake shoes til you can no longer turn the hub, then back off until the hub turns freely

@davidgray757

Thank you for making a realistic video for this. I'm a mechanic and this job drove me nuts! Couldn't believe how difficult it was to get those stupid springs on...

For those wondering about adjusting the brake pads, before assembling the caliper, adjust the brake pads until you feel drag on the drum, then back off just until you feel less drag. Not too far though. You still want to feel a very little drag to actually seat in the pads. The adjuster in the hand brake will pick up the slack when needed.

3 years later trying this on a rusted old Jeep. Old stuff just came apart through snapping and flying in my face, it was all rusted and destroyed. In my 3rd hour trying to put the big orange springs on, already bleeding from every part of my hands. The guy who came up with this wonderful system needs to be imprisoned and forced to replace brake shoes on every car in the world every day.

To the lady mechanic that did this video ...... GREAT JOB! I think that you were one of the few, if not the only, mechanic that had the guts to tackle this video. Those springs are a pain in the @$$ and you showed that difficulty as well. THANK YOU for the help.

Having followed your instructions, I ran into a big problem when you got to the e-brake pivot. Mine was frozen, and you didn't say how to get it out. That was a big problem for me.

Make sure that you reassemble the brake adjuster on the drivers side in the up position. down on the passemger side.

The addition of the spider was a nice touch!

Nice job, I've been doing brakes for 40 years, did a lot of front drums and still do on rare occasions front drum brake shoes. Watching this video I learned something new, thanks for sharing your knowledge and uploading this video.

Having tried this without this video, I am glad to see someone more experienced than I have to fight with this assembly as well! Great video and has taught me a few tricks to make this easier!

This is exactly what one needs to remove and re-assemble the parking brake shoes on a Jeep Wrangler. It took me all of 10 min to assemble the shoes AFTER I viewed this video. Bravo!

Just did this repair, let me save you a ton of time and swearing. Get yourself visegrips, some with long pointed jaws. Use those to grab the end of the long spring. By having a death grip on the end you can articulate the spring to the insane angle needed to get the spring in the hole. Whoever designed this assembly should be fired and never engineer again.

Very brave to attempt this on camera. I just did this on an 09 SRT8 Challenger. Total PITA, and I've done at least a 100 regular drum brake overhauls, no problem. I had to devise my own way of doing it. I put the nails and butterfly clips on the shoes, first, because its much easier then. Then I worked on the anchor end, and in my particular app, the single crazy-powerful spring. Like you, I used some c-clamps to hold the shoes from skeetering away from each other and holding them flat to the backing plate, when I'm trying to install that (damn)spring. Once that's on, it's easy to install the adjuster and spring on the other end of the shoes. First side took a couple hours, at least. Other side took a 1/2 hour.

First, the was the best video I could find on the topic. I thought that it was very good step-by-step. Second, it felt like there were some 'magic moments' - at least two. These were when we made it from one step to the next with some part missing in the middle. Don't get me wrong, I think it would have been much tougher to do the job without this video. Magic moments: how does she get the brake lever disengaged from the brake cable? The manufacturer's manual (and Chilton) would have you take apart the center console. Unsure how she did it, but it's pretty easy if you pop the c-clip (or is it an e-clip?) off and then do it. You can easily pop that c-clip back on after re-attaching it to the cable during reassembly. Second magic moment (at least for me) was the spring reassembly portion. Here's what I finally did that made it (relatively) easy. Connect the back long spring and do what she did. Make sure you have the lever in at least the top pad's notch. Slide the front/second spring into place and put the spring first into the BOTTOM pad. Then use needle nose pliers to put it in the top pad. Much easier! I struggled for like two hours on this at first. Changed my tactics to those above and popped both brakes (left & right) in in about 30 mins each.

Sue, I'd let you work on my vehicle any day of the week. I was clinching my teeth watching you have to deal with the crappy engineering design on these brakes, but you gave it hell. And always a big Thank You to 1A Auto for all the videos!
