Best vid by a huge margin.

I was in the market for a Sienna of this generation shown in the video (2004-2010). I'm lucky I found one with rear disk breaks. Yes they come as an option in certain "packages". The funny thing that you can find them in the lowest trim CE and you may not find them in the higher trim XLE. Disk breaks are standard in Limited Edition Only. If you're buying CE, LE, or XLE you have to visually inspect and look under the car to check if they're drums or disks. I wrote this comment because I HATE DRUM BREAKS.

Thanks for including the thread size for the jack bolts. By the way, I work on boilers and so I rebuild pumps every now and then. We call them jack bolts. Please, don’t call them jack off bolts 😂 great video. Thanks.

Make sure have handy(foot) brake release before removing the drum off.

Thanks. Perfect camera awareness. explaining in Clear Plain english, Rare these days!!

What an amazing video. Thank you for the help. It was nice to know that everything needed to be placed accordingly or step by step. It would've taken us a century to put it back the way we were doing it. Thanks again.

Last rear brake drums I did was on my 89 Corolla. It’s been so long that I will have to take a picture or video before removing any brake parts. I’ll be doing this work soon on my Dad’s old amigo Sienna ...He’s 85 and lives alone on a fix income, I’ll charge him some beers 🍺 for my time 🧰

Great video.... I'm getting ready to do my brakes and this is easy to follow. Thanks. One suggestion... the removal of the C clips. One of them (the second removal) has holes on either side/tip. Those are for a special pair of needlenose pliers with a pin on the side of each jaw that fit in those holes. Squeezing the pliers (they open, rather than close) easily spreads a C clip so it can be removed. Saves hassling with a screwdriver.

I am replacing the rear brakes on a silver 2007 Sienna exactly like the one in this video. Thank you so much for making this video it made the job a piece of cake! 👍👍

Great step-by-step illustration and explanation. I will do mine, a 2002 Toyota Sienna soon. Thanks!

Good video. Helped with changing original shoes on my 2006 LE. Am slightly disappointed in Toyota for not providing a hole in the drum for accessing the adjuster. Used ceramic shoes from Detroit Axle that came pre-chamfered, although the Toyota originals are not chamfered.

In the process of changing pads and rotors on a 2012 XLE. I made sure we purchased a model with pads all way around. I struggled to get rotor rear router off and when I did guess what I found? That’s right shoes. Guess I’ll be learning that today. Your video will help. Thanks!!!

I really appreciate you dedication on this project, 🙏

Thanks for the jacking bolt tip. I'm in South Carolina and couldn't get the drum off.

Just did the drum brakes on my 05 Sienna and your video was a huge help. Very clear step by step instructions.

This is super helpful. I had to replace my wheel cylinder and this is the clearest video on removing the brake shoes. Thanks!

Great how to. Thank you for sharing. All my best. Bobby

good thing you had a video..

Thank you very much for the great video and explanation, it helped a lot to repair my friend's car.

Thanks for video. I’m about to do the shoes on an ‘04.

thanks for uploading this

Great video. Only thing I would add is to try to put some brake grease where the shoes contact the backing plate. You can get little packets from auto zone for a buck or two. Not 100% necessary but it allows the pads to retract easier for less drag when you're not braking. Also wear some safety glass when messing with springs.

THANK YOU...for sharing.

Thx man I just changed mine.

Excellent video! Thank you.

Thanks! It helped me a lot.

Thank you for the video.really helped me out.

Good job I've done the same on the uclips and with the retaining springs .

Thank You! awesome video.

Thanks for this video, it was very helpful and to the point.

Brake pads and rotors I will do myself. Brake shoes? I’m going to a mechanic. 😩

Great video! Confident with disc, now i'll be confident with drum after tomorrow! Thanks again!

They did look a little more involved than the drum brakes that I have seen. You made it look pretty simple.

a old tip pull both drums off but work on one side at a time so you have example where all the parts go it may advoid alot of confusion and frustration drum brakes can be a real pain thanks

Plz make video on replacing brake linings on Toyota Sienna 2017. Thx

Thanks for share.

Cool video. I'm gonna do those on my Toyota

Thank you very helpful

This is one of the best videos I ever seen in the quality is really nice thank you sir

Oh Jees what did I get myself into... Wish I had found this video sooner. It’s a great instructional.

Thanks a lot.

video is great

Thank you! Very helpful

My question, I have rear disk brakes on that model van, but when I removed the rotors, the drum brakes were there too? Do I need to replace those if I have disk brakes? Why the drum brakes on that if I have the disk brakes? Your input would be nice.

Hello, drum brakes do have ABS? Or only the front disk brakes have ABS?

have a 1998 toyota sienna le. this helped a lot. i was on planning on getting hardware kit to also replace springs. my left rear is leaking, most likely the cylinder. is it really just making sure everything fits and is in the right place?

My 2007 sienna xle has brake pads and a different system for the rear brakes. What model of sienna is that?

My rear brakes on my 87 Buick Grand Nat'l and 70 Camaro was so much easier to do. I noticed you didn't use any brake grease on the backing plate where the back of the shoes will rub when engaged. Maybe it differs from GM.

My rear drum driver side makes like a howl sound when coming to a stop more of a slow stop but....

Don't know why some companies still use these on the rear wheels there so much more complicated than disc brakes

Can I use a wire brush and brake cleaner to clean and get rid of the dust?

You did not adjust shoes, after you out drum back?? There is hole, in a plate, covered with rubber plug, at the top, after you put drum back, you should adjust shoes with screwdriver, from that hole: you turn first all in, drum can't turn, and, I believe, 5 to 6 click open, and then they are adjusted!!! You should show/ mention that also, important!!!! Some say, factory says 8 clicks???, I have noticed, 5 to 6 is OK! Thanks, youtheman =)

That's a lot of pieces.

I have a 2007 Sienna and want to do the rear drums. I'm wondering how many miles there was on the car. I have 108,000. I'm easy on the breaks. I did the front two years ago. Much easier. Can I ask what size bolts do you use to loosen the drums? Thanks for the video. I'll be doing it one day.

Jo Daddy’s Garage at 19:57 how did you get it to fit ?

GJ

HELP: what do I do if the second piece you removed and the large spring on top would not come off from mine, no matter how much i tried to. I loosened the thing just as you did and still it's stuck.

👍

They make snap-ring pliers for a reason. Save the headache.

👍🙏🤝

Need place pcv

03:25-03:45 We would hope that the added complexity has yielded a more efficient, longer-lasting braking system. Whether it has, is unknown. Trade Secrets! Thank God for Japanese resilience and respect. If you can analyze what they do and determine it's success, you'll stay in the game and everyone will benefit.

every time Oops ^^
