The two pins are more easily removed by turning the washer on the outside rather than trying to turn the pin.

Thanks for making a video on this subject that’s far easier to watch than the ones others have posted on here. Well done! (I broke my springs when removing them so have to order more before finishing)

All done this helped a lot, First time changing the shoes. Thank you for the video

You made twice to work when putting it together there's a way simpler way. Sightly put a screwdriver in between that locking pin an adjuster screw slightly pry out and turn the adjuster screw that way you did not have to take it apart again.

On the hold down spring I found that if you hold the spring still with pliers you can use needle nose pliers to push in the pin and easily turn the pin. Pops right out

this guy might not have the proper tools to remove the springs, but at least he is easy to understand what he is doing, and the camera is right on spot.

great explanation and video, thanks!

very nicely explained, I have never changed break pads on a car, only at a motorcycle one or twice, thanks

PSA : rear drum brakes are no joke. I recommend you outsource this job that is generally due at 90K for hard drivers & 125K for gentle drivers. I studied several KZfaq videos. I downloaded the service manual. I bought specialty drum brake tools. I was just going to clean & regrease where the pads contact the back plate. Seemed like a straightforward procedure with my KZfaq knowledge & couple pages of service manual exploded PDF's. What took 5 minutes on a KZfaq toke over an hour on one drum for me ( I've done struts, front brakes, radiator swaps, alternator swaps before, so I'm not a beginner) I studied the picture I took of the ," before ." I after struggling for an hour, I finally reassembled and doubled checked my assembly. Well after taking a short test drive, and not having resistance from my console area parking brake handle, I open the drum again. Turns out, in my 10+ attempts at finessing the springs and position of pads & levers, I discovered that somehow the parking brake cable came off from it's attachment point and got sheared off. So now I created a $350 premature rear brake job for myself. Lesson learned .

Dude the e brake cable was the toughest part to get back on by myself, I eventually gave up and recruited a second set of hands. Also, I was even more pissed bc I realized that the piece didn't even need to come off, you can just take the lock washer off and swap the shoe

Thanks for this video. Hard to see other videos and yours is nice and close. Thanks much.

Thank you for this!

Best KZfaq on this subject. Thank you for doing it. Nicely done

rear brakes last a very long time, and if you notice in this clip, the brake shoe is not so totally worn out, but noticably glazed. a good blast of cleaner or water hose so u are far away and sanding of the shoes should do. If it aint broke dont touch it.

Good video. I recommend watching 20:00 to 22:10 at 1/4 speed and take good notes.

Last part you just needed to rotate the gear ⚙ and it will get shorter or longer. its a self adjusting gear. Side note, the horse shoe like retaining washer the one that holds the parking brake bracket you NEEDED to squeeze the two ends a little bit closer together so it doesn't slide out.

All in all good job. The vice grips and channel locks are a good idea when you don't have the tool or the money to get the tools

Much easier very good explaning thanks 👍👍👍👍

More entertaining than a disney movie. Using words like "thingy" - great video.

Thanks for the video.

Got it . Passenger side thank you

Thank u my brother.

I suspect that when he did the drivers side that pin in that shoe was also in the wrong side! LOL

Awesome explanation, surprised u didnt use silicon grease on the touch points on the the shoes though...

Thanks for your help!

Great 👍 video. What size bolts do I need to pop the drum off? Thank you in advance.

Good tutorial. In the end, when you needed to adjust them in a little, there was no need to take the star adjuster off. You just pry down the holding lever (slightly) and turn the adjuster to tighten it. Other than that, excellent video.

Also, it would have been nice if you would have slowly put it back together moving the camera to straight on showing in detail where each spring or part went without the whistle music. Thanks

good job dude.

Well done :)

What size are the bolts to remove drums?

You can push them springs, with your fingers, once you get angry enough!

Thank u sir..

I think you better take it apart one more time and clean everything and GREASE the back plate raised surfaces where metal to metal rubbing occurs.

If anyone is going to do drum brakes new hardware is a must and a can of brake cleaner either way it was good install 👍

Hello, Which size in MM for the two bolts that you used to remove it ? Thanks.

Is it the same way on the 4WD?

You know they make a whole set of tools specifically for drum brakes. The right tools make the job go much faster. Also, you should always use new hardware everytime you replace brake pads or shoes. I work at Advance Auto Parts and I always recommend new hardware to my customers so they don't run into old hardware breaking or not performing properly due to rust or corrosion.

Thanks good video

There are tools to compress the springs with the little pins in them 3 to $5 at the parts store

Thank you

I could not get the drum back on even after I released fluid pressure and backed the adjuster off.. I had force them on and now they heat up...something is wrong any Ideas.

Did you mix the shoes ?

I changed the rear brakes now it makes a terrible noise when i break. What can it be? When i spin the wheel off the ground the wheel kinda has resistance in one area

PASSENGER SIDE OR DRIVERS SIDE?

I did not see where he put the pin back on the new brakes after turning the pin around. He must squeeze the washer to lock it in. When he pushed it , it just slid in and back out a bit. I hope he did that , or that will become disconnected. Other than that, Pretty good video.

Number one newbie people forget is realeasing the parking brakes, which doesnt say on this video.

What size and thread are them bolts? Thanks.

Always use new hardware, never reuse the old parts. It’s also a good idea to install a new cylinder because it will inherently leak before those new shoes ware out and when it leaks it will destroy your new brakes

Excellent job very well explained 👍

I need to do this so bad on my 06 Corolla it sounds so bad whenever I brake. It’s a hard grinding noise.

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU SHOWING PASSENGER OR DRIVERS SIDE? THANKS

nice. one thing....never test your work by stepping on the brake pedal unless that drum is back on........or you will really have a bad day.......from experience the first time i changed shoes.....oh well also learned how to do wheel cylinders that day too!

Couldn't of adjusted the adjuster with a flathead screwdriver instead of taking it out all over again to adjust?

I called to the toyota stealership they said it will cost $336 to replace it, I guess it only cost less than $36 now

Great video but the drum needed to be replaced.

The video is great and everything, but it would have been 50 times better if you didn't speed up the actual reassembly of the brakes. It would really help!

20:15

Wood half beeen nyce eef yoo tell what sise boolts youu uzed to Puul de dums uff. No stuck wating for anaswer

But to much bla bla bla straight to the point my friend.

😂😂😂😂👍👍👍

Dude this is my first drum brake job and you sped up and explained nothing when you put it back together. I'm lost

Why you don't get the proper tools

5 springs to take off. He took one out and then he said three more to go instead of four. Hahahaha

Good show. Please be careful where you put your feet under. E.g., at 25:00. I like that you purposely expanded that adjustable rod so the installed shoes won't allow the drum to fit. I also knew that drum brakes are harder to change shoes than the disc brakes. Yet, an auto mechanic would charge you much more for the disc brakes. Why?

You repeat yourself so many times you will bore your listeners but good job

Biggest mistake when assembling fastward not showing little details booo.. You had to show auto adjuster latch how its suppose to stay

wrong tools and that not a 2003 - 08 corolla rear brakes.

Cameras autoexposure completely ruined what you were wanting to show uz. Music is 5 times louder than narration.

You talked too much when it’s not needed and fast forward the important part

you guys forgot to mention REMOVE THE PARKING BRAKE or you won.t be able to remove the drum and anything, NO, its NOT abvious...... THUMBS DOWN

Drum brakes are the most disgusting things I've ever seen! I hate these things!

Hey can you please slowly put all the items back into place in correct order next time, 👎

Where can I find the bolds to extract the brake drum? 🤔🥲

What size are the bolts to remove the drum?
