Adjustment for the emergency brake is @ 4:04. Adjust the single cable length to keep the tension even between the wheels. Notice all the slack on the two cable side ? That is wear and cable stretch.

Hank from what I see your brakes are 75 % worn they appear adjust as far as they can be, might be able to get some adjustment out of them but will need to change completely soon. Love the show and hsve a good day. God bless America

Bro, those brake shoes need to be adjusted with the drum IN PLACE ! Tighten the star wheel until you can no longer rotate the wheel, then back off just enough so the wheel turns free. (usually about 6 notches +/-- ) Do the other side and back off the same number of notches. (Check with your local auto parts and compare the thickness of your brake linings with the thickness of new linings.)

Love your sense off humor and even keel approach… peaceful confidence and process of directions instead of telling u lead by example … peace and humility are rare qualities which you genuinely emulate… and maybe even use to smoke Screen how dang sharp I really are… enjoy the life lessons you exhibit … by just living what you believe…you are encouraging and uplifting

I’m thinking it’s going to be your parking brake cables. Adjusting the brake still won’t give you more pull on your cables. Like Hank, I’m no mechanic 🤣🤣

You need a brake spoon and Wiley go find Wiley before you mess it up!!! Lol

My 2002 F-350 4dr. It's 2 wheel drive. Ole Whitey is the name. Last year of 7.3. I have a air compressor like yours and it is the one to have!

Good job! There's always a sense of satisfaction when you get something fixed. 👍 Thanks for sharing Hank!

I bought a new 1994 F250 with 7.3 turbo, loved the sound and loved the truck. Thanks for the videos Hank.

While the truck is jacked up I would get rid of those drum brakes and go to calipers. I did that on my 97 f450 super duty the disks are much more effective and easier to change out. Love the content keep it up.

I am not sure how long it has been since I did drum brakes, but back in the day, I did a lot! I have the brake spring tool, the hold down tool, and an a adjustment tool for the brake adjustment screw. Those tools have not been used in years.

You do not adjust the main brake adjustment wheel to adjust the parking brake, but if the brakes are worn out that will affect it but there is a adjustment on the brake cable somewhere to adjust it,

Magic jack stands. They are put away one minute and miraculously appear beside the vehicle again the next minute.🤣

Great job, Hank! Those are some beefy looking Jack stands. Great video. Thanks for sharing!!

As an apprentice I was shown too adjust till the wheel locked then tap round the drum with a hammer 9 times out of ten it would free up again adjust again till it locked then back off a notch, the tapping centred the shoes after adjusting, job done ! Always worked for me …😉🇬🇧

One thing I like about my 91 super duty is that it came from the factory with rotor brakes on the back. Planning on getting a replacement rear fuel tank for it. Kinda wondering if I can get a bronco fuel tank to fit. Plus you're definitely needing tires lol. I do as well. Have plenty of tread but dry rotted badly. I miss the sound of the old 7.3 idi I had with a banks sidewinder turbo kit on it. Have a great week.

Thanks Hank for the F350 vidio's I don't own one but always enjoy learning something new, also your headlight vidio was a big help determining what head lights were on my class A motorhome I have the F53 chassie they are exactly like your truck. Keep up the great vidio's.

Nice looking truck !!! Since everyone else has asked, where’s Wiley ?? And since everyone else has offered advice on how to improve YOUR truck, I will too, I have had several trucks like yours, the first best improvement I have found is to replace the drums with disk brakes. The second improvement is to install lockers, with only rear wheel drive you’re going to need them. Good luck

Hi hank a mechanic friend told me after adjusting the shoes u should hit the foot brake pedal to centralise the shoes b4 checking the parking brake 👍 that air hammer is the mutts nuts 👌

I found when adjusting drum brakes, adjust them till they drag then step on brake pedal to center the brake shoes then adjust some more. New shoes or old shoes same thing, plus if you hit the brakes while backing it will help adjust as well

Hank, they make a tool for adjusting the brakes ( drum brakes) it is called a brake spoon .

Howdy from the Northwoods of Minnesota, Love and Respect All

You are on point, Hank. I am getting ready to do the same for my 7.3 idi. This is a great reference.

Good day . I noticed you had the front wheel chucks at the back of the wheels where they should have been in front ... love old black betty !!!! Beautiful truck...!!!

I have to say although you and Wiley both have great content on your channels, neither are as great as when you collaborated. I hope you two can get together again. Good luck to both of you.

Excellent video Hank :) also on 1/2 ton also 5/8 ton 6 clicks on each side on drum brakes & 3/4 ton also 1 tons do 12 clicks then if more 6 clicks each time then checkout see grab drums on light drag to if have repeat on clicks more do it! ! Then if all okay do drive test with brake pedal and emergency brake stops on light rolling stops and no rolling in gear foward also backwards when let off brake pedal but keep emergency brake and push gas see if feel not going anywhere you have set right completely stop too! If have brake pedal tight and emergency up top off Floor to and want click pedal 2 to 4 clicks on have it right! Like when on pavement with shoes or boot doing swing on walking! That how I taught in Auto Mechanics in high school and job to Hank :) and done 4 wheels drums on 1968 Chevrolet 5/8 ton is heavy duty 1/2 ton and 1972 Ford F350 I had years ago too !

you can buy adjusting clamps to shorten the Ebrake cables if you cant get enough on brake adjusters.

Good job, Hank. I appreciate the channel, buddy 👍

Good job and God bless yall

With an OBS the work never ends, I'm about to yank the engine out of mine to fix a timing cover leak. But I sure do enjoy working on mine.

Pretty clean old truck, good luck with it.

I enjoyed your videos I have a 1997 7.3 single cab 4x4 dully.

Good for you and I can even stand a little Cummins but not much. Blessings!

Those rear tires will be worthless if you get off the pavement w that thing! Should have taken those wheels to a tire shop while you had them off man. Love watching, God Bless!

Grind it till you find it! Good teacher, thanks!

It's the Hank and Wiley show love you guys be safe

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Nice job on the parking brake. Take care hank. The Iowa Farm Boy.

Great video thank you sir! Wily should have been there to crawl around on the ground🤣........ Question for you, what editing software do you use, looking to start doing some videos

Good video ! God Bless !!!

That's great that the cables weren't seized up . A screw driver wouldn't fix that. Words of wisdom. Never put your tools away before you test. Love the show Hank. Keep wrenching

Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work

hey hank plus that ajustment will improve ur pedal pressure for normal driving too

A friend of mine used to take a polaroid photo of the brake drum assembly prior to taking it apart, and then he would stick the photo over the wheel well when he would reassemble it.

glad I got to meet you at the show on Saturday but good content keep it up

hank most parking brakes are adjust by the cable on the side, sticking a spoon thru the bacl plate would adjust the shoes making them tighter the brakes but not the parking brake cable

Hank I'm sure you don't remeber me but I remeber you. I was NCOIC Night shift (we was on over lapping 16 hr shifts at the time) flight dispatch , Base Ops, 1st gulf war when you and you flight crew came through , pretty sure you were a Major or Lt. Col at the time. why do I remember 2 reasons 1 accent 2. Cause you where one of the more pleasant officers to come through. All things consideted. Thank you sir. And this part not entirely sure about 85% sure it was you. An 0-1 was reading the roit act to a couple of my airmen (e-2 and and e-3) and it was right after the thing kicked off a few days after it 1st started SIR. Anyways the Lt was out of line HE WAS TEARING MY AIRMEN A NEW ONE. You stopped your taxi out THINK IT WAS A C-141 OR MAYBE A C-5 BUT PRETTY sure it was a 141. You to brough him in to apologise to us Almost 100% sure that was you it's been so long ago now I could be wrong but almost certain that it was you. If it wasn't it was from you airwing.

Enjoyed this video Hank.

Hank ! I’d replace tyres /brake drums and pads for the miles that are on it do the job right

Wow some new tires are in order

Hank I bought a can of that Liquid Wrench Penetrating Fluid and it is the best. I put a plug of your KZfaq site on a video I posted Sunday IDig62 "Part 2 Ford 1600 Start"

Hank you could get top dollar here in Texas for that truck. That is a Cowboy Cadillac 🤠

It you went 10 lug you could get disc brakes pretty easy as the f-superduty trucks had rear disc. However they had the parking brake on the rear of the transmission Also a Milwaukee impact would spin the lugs right off

Hi Hank you need tyres on ofside

I have a 95 Ford too. F150 4x4. Run it everyday. 201k miles. You should notice a better brake pedal for stopping too.

Hank by the looks of your brake shoes you need new ones!! Pulling trailers loaded heavy wears them faster than normal. Always check the residual lining on the shoe base at the thinnest point to determine replacement. Also a little threat anti seize on the shanks! You put on Great Videos that I enjoy very much, their not flashy, just good content and Fun!

You need firewall reinforcement plate for clutch. Was common issue and cause tough shifting and grinding

Check rear springs they looked a little soft 😎

Going to try this on my and my borthers 1985 dodge d350 dually it likes to free roll too

My 1990 had that same color interior

Shoes should be automatically adjusted by backing up and pressing the brake real hard . With the ol 7.3rattlig have someone walk by wheels to hear adjusters work . My 97 has 240 k and uses no oil . Rotella 15x40 ever 5k . Keep extra fuel filter with u . Cruise mine at 70 mph . That's where it smooth out and sounds good . Good luck. God bless .

I own a 1995 F150.with a 5.0 with 500,000 miles was bought new in summer of 1994. Original motor and never rebuild transmission.shes used almost every day. Good old truck.

Should have went to a tire shop with the wheels while you had them off

All the vehicles i have ever had with rear brake drums would self adjust when goin in reverse??

Thanks!

You just adjusted the rear brake. To adjust the park brake, tighten the nuts on the part where two rear cables go into the mid cable. To fix the screw driver, use the bench grinder with a can of cooling water to keep it from going blue.

Very Nice Truck In Great Condition Keep It That Way Ford All The Way

leaking rear axle cover.. another video on that too. Those pads were worn.. carb clean all those brake springs.. clean frame and grease it…. do it once and forget it for a year.. i just noticed your rear bumper had no “D” rings on her.. weld some up .. have several tow points on front so when you get stuck in mud you can be pulled out..

Boa noite muito ótimo esse serviço caminhão top amigo

I did not see an external adjustment on the cables like newer vehicles there might be one at the pedal usually the wheel inside is for adjusting the regular brakes its supposed to be automatic but sometimes it doesn't always work that way. New shoes and drums would help a lot but I put on a lot of brake shoes and they are a pain nothing easier to work on than disc brakes

Where’s Wiley the smart one😅

Black 🖤 Betty is looking good. OK ‍those breaks have AUTO ADJUSTERS After the break shoes wear down some ... how to adjust Auto Adjusters is to go in reverse and clamp down on the breaks repeatedly. That action pulls the adjustment wheel to the proper setting. My most humblest apology I rewatched the video and absolutely agree you should have went through the breaks on your new Ford. Drum breaks are OK , is the price of a conversation kit to disk breaks that cheap ro just that much better? I learned how to drive when I was ten years old. Back then, my dad, taught me NEVER to use the emergency break in Alaska. He said there was so much ice and deep snow cables would freeze and NOT work or DID work and stick on leaving you stranded. Road salt was another factor. However, now days the Ebreak systems are much better designs.

I love your content so I subbed to your channel

She's a good ole girl and should serve you well.. remember you picking her up and looking at the work that had been done..if I remember correctly the expensive stuff was done. Enjoy your content 😇🛠️🛻🚜🇺🇸🐄🤠

Hello Hank, Where the heck is Whiley. 🤣🤣

What is that fluid on your rear passenger side tires that you didn't take off to inspect the breaks? Do you have a bad axle seal? Or is your wheel cylinder leaking?

Might suggest you get a rubber plug for those adjustment slots keep sand and water from getting in there, ask me why I know ,lol back when I did my own brakes in high school... Enjoy the channel you and Riley work well together, appreciate your Christian attitude. God is good all the time. Keep on keeping on…

USA needs your support

i notice reverse wanted to grind just a little both of my 7.3 would do that I would put it in 1st then go to reverse it wouldn't grind

I apologize they were S&B silicone cab mounts from Summit Racing about $400.00 an trust me you won’t regret it even it is kinda hard to do an don’t do like I did an cut the old bolts use the fire wrench on them it works out much better.

I believe you need new tires on the back and maybe an axle seal on the right hand side. Looked like a grease stain running down the tire to the ground

What’s a parking brake? I thought you were supposed to park in gear then jump out and put the base of the bumper jack behind the wheel. When you leave you just back over it then reach down and pick it up as you go by.

Looks like you might have a leaky wheel cylinder on the passenger side black betty I saw tire wet on video might want to check it out!!

It looks like that right passenger side wheel cylinder is leaking brake fluid. At least it looks like there's fluid on those back tires on that side.

Hi hank from west Alabama

Where the split was to go to the two wheels that is where you adjust the parking brake with the threaded nut

Hey Hank were did u get them jack stands.

Brother you spend more time looking for tools than using them! Makes me feel good I’m the same way.

Grab a 60volt battery for that dewalt and those lugs will come off. Those tiny stock battery’s just don’t carry enough amps

I’m not a doctor, but it looks like that drum and pads have a lot of glaze in them. That will impact the stopping power.

Your rear drum brakes should be self-adjusting when you backup. Did someone mix-up left and right adjusters? This is not a fix

That adjustment lever must not be adjusting that brake. You should not need to adjust it once it has been adjusted after installing the new brakes parts. Unless they never did that. even then working the brakes normally will adjust it.

Wow.

you need to adjust e brake cables or replace them

Hank 92 F150 4X4 133,000 350 Windsor in Alaska! GO FORD TRUCKS

Probably already been said, but I'm not scrolling through all the comments.... For whatever reason this era of Ford self adjusting drum brakes are junk. I was readjusting mine monthly or even biweekly depending how much I drove. What I liked to do was tighten until the wheel wouldn't spin, then back off 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do your research on disc kits. Especially if you plan to tow at all. Also, the parking brake pedal assembly has a ratcheting mechanism inside. There's a tsb out there on it. But yours may need reset.

coming to florida in april like to meet u

I have a 1995 F150 super cab that I bought new December 1994 for $21,000. It now has 281,000 miles on odometer with original stock engine and is daily driver vehicle.

I liike watching your videos👍

If you put the park brake on when you reverse it will self adjust
