I decided to make a video on how to replace the rear brake backing plate on a Mercedes sprinter since I couldn't find a video on it. I also cover removing and fitting new handbrake shoes in this video, I will upload a separate video on adjusting handbrake shoes.

Great video. Saved my arse! So...the wind down on the handbrake pads is a wear device. Notice how it's the same size thread as the thickness of pad! Set it to fully screwed in for new pads. Mechanic said these are "fiddly" Not at all just do it yourself. Thanks phil.

My Crafter had started making a rubbing noise from the rear - a watch of this video prompted me to have a look and, yup, exactly the same has happened to mine. So, great video - just what I need. Thank you. Just one question - what are the chances of my somehow screwing up the wheel bearing when I remove the half-shaft? Just need to know exactly how much it could cost me if it all goes wrong!

@ThePhilBilly 9 ай бұрын

I'd be very suprised if you damage the wheel bearing. But as the saying goes never say never I suspose. But I HIGHLY doubt you would damage it. Let me know how you get on 👍

@@ThePhilBilly Sorry it's taken so long to reply! It all went to plan and no damage was done... Except I screwed up the adjustment and it failed its MOT yesterday - it came in just under the 16% requirement. Luckily the garage did the adjustment on the spot and re-tested it immediately. Anyway, thank you again for a really helpful video.

Great video, very helpful! Did you top up the oil in the axle somehow? :)

@ThePhilBilly 4 ай бұрын

No I didn't top the oil up because this one lost no oil. If you have to top it up I think there will be a fill plug on the top of back of the diff.

I'm guessing you mean the half shaft, that's what connects the drive hub to the differential giving you drive.

Can you change those axles to just run on discs brakes without brake shoes as some models?

To be honest I have have a clue, everyone of these I've come across has had inboard handbrake shoes so far.

@@garethgareth8699 it's surprising how much stuff still has inboard drums. Especially to say they are usually crap cos they never get cleaned off or adjusted so they just go rusty sieze up and don't work. Compaired to standard handbrakes on calipers which are always moving and cleaning off.

@@ThePhilBilly Good morning waw you've enlightened me. Yes the more parts the more capitalism. However some ecological scientists say we have to stop using up fossils. This is why theres less parts in some technology as the modern flat screen television.

@D_and_L 9 ай бұрын

The shoes are the only way to have a parking brake. Completely separate from the brakes that stop the vehicle.

@aberdeendeltaforce Ай бұрын

Save yourself the frustration and assemble the shoes on the work bench, open them up and slide them over the hub, much easier than trying to assemble through that hole. 👍
