I learned to do disc brake jobs from youtube videos, and have saved thousands since I did. Seeing how complicated drums are, the tools you need, and that they don't often wear out, I think I'll keep bringing them to a mechanic. Useful video in that it showed me I don't want to go down that road.

You have a lot of great tips. I would personally rebuild or replace the wheel brake cylinder. The cylinder is not leaking now but I expect that it would soon. Replacement cost is relatively inexpensive

after many, many banged up hands, knuckles, cuts I got the brake spring tool, cheap, effective for easy removal and install of those bad boys. Googling it now I see it showing as gearwrench 280 but many names offer the same. Under $10 would pay $50 before I use vise grips again. Save yourself. Keep up the terrific videos and sharing your passion for great maintenance and repairs!

I have no problems with them (using them or working on them). As Mid-School technician, they were the only rear brakes available. I’d say it was about mid 90’s before rear disc started becoming popular. For a truck, (unless your talking high performance street), I’d take drums over disc. If you adjust them correctly, they work great. If you do your own service work, buy a tool called an “H” gauge, you’ll keep em adjusted and working properly.
