Once one finally learns that you WILL eventually hurt yourself when cutting or pulling things toward yourself, and learns to evaluate that every time they have a tool in their hands, they will find themselves in much less pain, and leaking less fluid on a regular basis.

It has been a VERY long time since I did brakes. Back then most cars has rear drum, and some even front. So it was common to do them, and I did have the tools for those springs. The ONLY thing I did that you didn't was lube the "spreader" pin and where the shoes contact the backing plates. Probably inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It was great listening & watching your drum brake tutorial. If anyone is thinking of doing them they have what's needed. Great pair of videos. On the Chinese vehicle, I would be interested in seeing. I have seen a few YT videos of a mini (very mini) truck from China, but no details. Go for it, Ray!

Yes, do the Chinese minicar. I was doing drum brakes back when Ray was a gleam in his grandfather's eyes. Did many a drum brake job in the days before self adjusters. I still have the brake adjuster tool somewhere. Had to replace many broken adjuster cables. Yes I thought about the anti-seize lube on the shoe pads and the adjuster cap without the threads. Also the pins on the adjuster pieces.

@CodycoWeb 8 ай бұрын

It’s not inconsequential, you do it right or don’t do it. Lubing contact points and adjusters means in 50k or 60k the adjusters are frozen and either can’t be backed off to get drum off or freeze up and not allow the brakes to adjust and customer has a low pedal. No excuse for not doing it the right way.

I have the special tool that allows you to slip the springs into place. It was painful watching that. LOL My father used to swap out drum brakes so fast you couldn't see his movements. In a competition one time at an auto show he changed each side of a car in under two minutes. When he did drum brakes it always appeared that he just tossed the parts on the car. LOL It was pretty impressive to watch and it was cool for a kid to see all the other men in awe of my father's ability. He wasn't even the worker bee in those days, he was the manager of a large and popular shop. (He stopped doing that job in about 1975.) I recall the adjusters only engaging in reverse.

I worked on cars before disk brakes, and there was a nice tool that had the cup to press the spring to release the retainer on one of the pliers' handles. There was also a point on one jaw that would stab into the brake shoe lining and a spring hook on the other jaw for releasing the springs. Lost the tool years ago when I stopped doing brake jobs, but it made it super easy to tear down and reassemble drum brakes. Amazon still sells the things. I also had a cylinder hone to resurface the cylinders to install a rebuild kit. Made a lot of money in the day with these two tools.

@richarddouchkov9453 8 ай бұрын

Some drum brake systems have a leading and trailing brake shoe. The difference is the location of the brake material on the shoe relative to the pivot pins and the way it is forced onto the drum. It is imperative that you know what system you have and to ensure you get it right for correct brake operation.

@gigantor62 8 ай бұрын

A Mini e.g. The leading shoe would point towards the forward rotation of the wheel. I haven't worked on cars since 1986 so pardon my ignorance if I'm wrong. I did my apprenticeship then a couple of years as a tradesmen but the guy I was working for was a complete asshole. He insisted putting a time limit on every job. When you rush you make mistakes. Doing that work was soul destroying for me.

@kenmohler4081 8 ай бұрын

On this brake the rear shoe will pivot clockwise (on this side) as it is pushed by the wheel cylinder against the drum, and then push, through the bottom link, on the front shoe, forcing it against the drum. Sort of a free power brake system. When I learned brakes, disc brakes were not widely used yet.😊

@johnthreefifteen 8 ай бұрын

Once my brother needed to replace the brakes on his truck. I went to his house to do the brakes and save him dollars. I had changed disc brakes many times. Unfortunately, he also needed the rear drum brakes changed, too. I knew better than to remove both sides at once. However, I could not figure how to put the brakes back together. We had to take the truck to a real mechanic to get the job finished. Last year I needed to replace the drum brakes on my 1968 Cougar. This time I watched a KZfaq video as I removed and replaced the shoes.

You could not use a worse tool than a needle nose pliers to do a drum brake job. I was screaming at you every time just before they slipped off the springs . In my apprenticeship days I too bashed my nose with a pare of pliers with my boss laughing historically at me and saying I WAS WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

I know you have done some work before on drum brakes before, but think it was more aside thing as you were doing other repairs. But this was nice and in-depth job. Brought back memories of how I hated doing drum brakes in automotive class in high school. Keep up the good work there Ray.

Side note. Would love to have a look at a Chinses car.

In my distant memory I seem to recall those drum brake auto-adjusters work when reversing the car and braking heavily... some on the parking brake, others on the brake pedal. It's been a loooong time!! My original 1971 Mini had twin leading shoe front brakes, and one leading/one trailing shoe (as this Yaris) on the rears.

Spring retention cap if I remember right. Grew up with drum brakes. Found that a paint can opener is the perfect adjustment tool.

I was trained back when drums were more common. Those 6 pads on backing plate should have a film of grease applied, they are wear pads & should have lube.

I like using a long screwdriver to put those springs back on. Get the flat head in the slot, start stretching the spring until the leverage essentially causes the spring to want to retract, and then it slides down the drive shaft and you can pop the spring into the shoe

So glad you corrected yourself on the wiper motor You wouldn't have had much joy in getting the washers working by changing the wiper motor LOL

Yes, please. Love to see those quirky little Chinese things. Citroen are selling a tiny, 4 seater, that I’m certain is not made in France. Plastic body and I couldn’t find any evidence of an engine, so I suspect it may be an EV, too. I’d love to know if it’s the same as your “Chinesium” car.

Good idea posting second videos on this channel. It's less confusing..

The other beautiful thing with Toyota drums is the access to the adjuster wheel through the backing plate. Best adjusted with a flat blade screwdriver bent at about a 30deg angle about an inch from the tip! First car was a 1970 Crown with drums all round. Became rather adept at adjusting those bloody things!

YT ghosted me the 1st time, blocking my follow-up… “Ch€ck’s in the [post] from the drum brake lobby. Good job burying your only drum brake video on the 2nd channel. ;)” Hopefully my obfuscations make it through this time. …but, seriously: Thanks for showing us the logic behind where and how things go so we can figure it out when we don’t have anything to reference!

I always put a small dab of brake lube on the backing plate where the shoes sit.

Re: adjustment of drum brakes, there is always the old-school way of 'get them close then back up, apply brakes and repeat as necessary' which forces the adjusters to adjust out. Always seemed to work in days gone by...

What works well on the springs are needle nose vice-grips so you can lock onto the springs so you don’t lose an eye 😂

9:40 this is where it's handy to have more roll arounds or portable work surfaces to lay the brakes out on so you don't have to bend over. Get to my age and you'll appreciate still having joint motion.

I hate drum brakes. Just completed two 1995 K1500 Silverados. I decided I won’t do another. Great message on safety. You might have saved someone’s eyes or digits.

One of my earliest memories is watching my grandpa doing a drum brake job in the 1970's. He owned a full service gas station with his brother and he would mostly work tge back room. I remember clouds of asbestos dust after blowing off the brakes with an air hose. My grandpa had manly car lifts that were built into the concrete and used hydraulics. None of this wimpy electric crap that needed locks.

@markprater4016 8 ай бұрын

The guy I go to for repairs still has one of those. Big fat cylinder coming straight out of the concrete..it's a beast

@duncancremin1708 8 ай бұрын

Those hydraulic lifts needed safety locks too. They just didn’t have them until after a few people had been killed by blown out seals dropping cars on them.
