How to Overhaul Rear Drum Brakes on Renault Clio III

Amateur DIY guide on how to replace the rear brake shoes on a Renault Clio III (2005-2012). The example vehicle here is a 2006 Renault Clio 1.5 DCi. The job can be completed with basic home mechanic's tools. However, you will need brand new 30 mm Nyloc hub nuts and a torque wrench.
Undertake any vehicle repairs purely at your own risk. This is not a guide sanctioned by the manufacturer. Always use good quality jack stands when lifting a car off the ground and removing the wheel. Use a dust mask to avoid inhaling harmful dust from the brakes. If ever in doubt, use a qualified mechanic.

Thanks I watched this as a guide before I did mine, what a horrible fiddly job with the springs, you need 4 hands lol, I did the handbrake cable then attached the shoes with the clips, did the top spring, then bottom spring levered over the a screwdriver, undid the self adjuster and levered it in then wound the star wheel out but could not find a way to wind it back in so I bent the ratchet by accident, did eventually get it done wit help but it is hard if your a novice

I pushed the lever in and then outside, the drum was not moving. I use now the pulley for that drum. A hammer is no good here when the drum is blocked(maybe, maybe,..). With the pulley the bearing is broken and the elements for holding the shoes are broken too, the lower holder is also a bit folded, but you can fold it back. My solution if you press the handbrake lever inwards and turn sideways and the drum still does not release (too large edge in drum or the bearing is stuck).

When you did yours how long did it take them to bed in, my left drum has bedded in, right one keep hearing it rubbing after about 10 miles after town driving when it gets warm? it is just a light rub touch the pedal it goes, intermittent but done 500 miles now, ok I have had the drum off a few times to look and backed adjusters off, then it starts all over again, drum is not hot but warm, Pagid brake shoes, many thanks

sandydogy It only took about 100 miles to get the brakes to bed in. I too had to go back and readjust the shoes after the initial job. After that it was fine though and I heard no rubbing noises. Are you sure there isn’t a lip on your brake drum and that is causing a noise?

How many KM/Miles or how long do you take to change the rear shores and bearings?

@Biggles 4 жыл бұрын

MrCacciLLo It depends on the way the car is driven and the environment. No-one can say for certain. Basically they last as long as they last. I would expect the shoes and bearings to last in excess of 100,000 km though.

@@Biggles My car has 160,000km and the rear brakes were never changed. I know it depends on the type of driving and usage, but at 160,000 would you recommend to check/change them or I should keep going as far as I don't notice any problems in braking or noises?

@Biggles 4 жыл бұрын

MrCacciLLo Maybe check once every 100,000 km is a good idea.

@@Dosedmonkey Openning my wheel was much more difficult than what is shown in any internet video, the drum would not get out as the shoes had pressure from the Automatic spring adjuster against the drum. I had to relieve the Automatic adjuster which was incredible hard

Anti seize is literally designed for bolts, if they are torqued up correct they won't come undone due to anti seize coating.

Putting grease on threads is a bad ideea. Allways better to seize, than become lose.

@ruanrocha3093 4 жыл бұрын

thread locker is a good choice

@jurikristjouw Жыл бұрын

The problem is not that they come loose, but rather that they will not come loose when needed. Besides that, the torque will be less when using dirty/dry threads.
