So we were doing the rear brakes on a 2003 Ford focus and I made this video talking about what we did we also had to remove the rear wheel cylinder we had to remove the backing plate because the bolts were so rusty you do not have to remove the backing plate to remove the wheel cylinder generally and also if you didn’t understand you need to unclip the emergency brake cable prior to trying to release it from the brake pad. Hopefully the video was helpful and informative I know I missed a couple things on the list that some people would like to see. But I thought the video was very helpful 2001 Ford focus rear drum brakes 2002 Ford focus rear drum brakes 2003 Ford focus rear drum brakes 2004 Ford focus rear drum brakes 2005 Ford focus rear drum brakes 2006 Ford focus rear drum brakes 2007 Ford focus rear drum brakes.

You guys didnt show HOW to do anything, you just showed the end result of each step. The close up of the brake adjuster was helpful though cuz thats the part im stuck on. So thank you, none of the other videos showed that.

Better explanation than anyone. I replaced on this car recently I was new to that never touched drums and I realized during the job I could have done what he did in the video and save time. You can remove and build the shoe set out of the car. Super convenient

My emergency brake is inoperable. And I don't have time to change the cables. Can you make the adjustment on the Wheel before I put the hub back on? Adjust the adjuster without using the emergency brake technique.

@JazzFunkNobby1964 9 ай бұрын

Yes. Pumping the foot pedal a few times gives the same result as pulling up the parking/emergency/hand brake (whatever you call it in your part of the planet). You don't actually need the emergency brake cable attached for the rear brakes to work when driving. You obviously do need it attached to pass inspection.

@JazzFunkNobby1964 LOL what do you mean my part of the planet? And they don't check the emergency brake when the car gets inspected. What part of the planet you from? But thank you for the info this thing won't be fixed until the beginning of next month I'm having a Mobile Mechanic come over to get those damn spindle shaft nuts off. I tried everything. And I'm getting too old for this. My body feels like I ran a 2 mile marathon the next day from laying on the ground for 2 hours trying to get those nuts off.

@JazzFunkNobby1964 9 ай бұрын

What I mean is that you call it an emergency brake. I call it a hand brake. Other people call it a parking brake. Depends which part of the planet you're from what you call it. You know there's a different method to the one you did. Remove the four bolts from around the back of the drum/hub and the whole lot falls off. Easy. You don't even have to touch what you call the spindle shaft nuts. Go have a look for those four bolts and maybe save yourself some cash. Be lucky.@@BugzKiller

@@JazzFunkNobby1964 on my 2006 Ford Focus the drum comes off separately. The Hub does not come off unless you disconnect the control arm back there bushings shock absorber all of that stuff. I know what you're talkin about because I saw at the store that they sell the hub assembly but it does not apply to my car. The drum comes off with the bearing in it and then because I drove the car for 6 miles with the tire wobbling like crazy and smoking because the bearing went it ruined the spindle, half of the threads are gone. I had to drill off the big lock nut that goes on the spindle with the drum.

I want a "gnarled wheel" when I grow up. I guess I'll have to settle for a knurled stop until then ;-) This is the first one of this design I've done. Bottom line: It blows. The old washer and spring combo was better for reassembly and what is required to get the shoes close enough together to reinstall the hub is not apparent on this design. I was also surprised at the small amount of brake material on the trailing shoe of a new set. (Having done work like this for 54 years probably makes me prejudiced against certain designs...or I'm just old.) Good video though. I might say; "Gnarly".

@JazzFunkNobby1964 9 ай бұрын

You manually turn the snail cam which is part of the auto adjuster to it's lowest point. This sets the two shoes as close to each other as is possible enabling the drum to slide back on with ease. When everything is reassembled and brake system bled (if necessary) pumping the brake pedal a few times will make the auto adjust mechanism set that snail cam to the correct position.

He’s referring to adjusting the emergency brake cable which is unnecessary. If not disturbed or moved. It is probably something that I should’ve put in the video but didn’t think about it when I made this video. Because if you don’t do nothing with it you don’t have to do anything with it….

Wrong. If you fit new shoes you need to adjust the emergency brake cable. You adjust it at the lever end of the cable inside the vehicle.@@sharpcarco

@MrSHAUNE55 Жыл бұрын

You didn't mention the rivets that hold the backing plate on, you can drill them out or chisel them off. What about when fitting the backing plate back on, did you rivet it back or just sandwich it between the hub and arm,? The rivets are only there to keep it in place for ease rather than for strength.

I don’t remember, but I probably didn’t change the backing plates unless they were super Rusty

I did the shoes but can't get the drum to go back on. Was hoping to see your trick to do that but you quit before putting the drum back on.

@sharpcarco 2 жыл бұрын

Oh that’s no big deal you just need to adjust the little star wheel down at the bottom to make the drum go over the pads. Then you adjust the Star wheel once you put the drum on in till it just starts to hang up. Then you’re good to go sorry I couldn’t answer earlier

its the damn bearing... the inner race side has a rubber seal but the outer race side just has a metal grease sheild and it leaks out grease over time... when these make noise, its that outer bearing for sure thats run dry... when or if u replaced the bearing itself, you will see its huge and wide ..the inner view shows 2 races contained in that wide outer casing... the inside race is sealed, the outer isnt and fails...

It was actually two different tools one was the adapter plate for a slide hammer. The other part was a bolt that threaded into where the slide hammer arm would thread into. So you can go to the local parts store and you can rent a slide hammer and then go to the hardware store and get a bolt that is about 5 to 6 inches long and use that just like I did in the video. I used the Lugnuts to hold the tool to the hub

Just did my 2003 Ford Focus rear passenger-side. Do NOT use the method in the video NEVER EVER NEVER take the drum off.... removing the entire assembly is super easy: You do not even need to remove the hub nut.: Remove tire. Using a 13 mm socket with an extender, remove 4 bolts that secure the spindle and drum assembly. Those bolts are BEHIND the backing plate, right in front of the big suspension spring. The spindle, hub nut, and drum slide off really easy as a complete unit (!). Replace brake shoes, re-bolt the spindle-hub assembly, , To adjust brakes, back up a little and apply the brakes, do that a couple times. Do it again a couple times going forward. BTW, do bearing replacement the same way only buy a new spindle, hub assembly, and hub-nut at the same time, it is cheaper that way.

How much did the repair cost you the spindle nut that goes over the dust cover It was 23 dollars for one piece, pretty much same for wheel cylinder and anything else
