    Amazing video, the only thing I would add is while you're that deep into your drums replace the hardware (Springs, retaining clips, etc.). They sell hardware kits for the drums that include all the springs and misc. parts that's about $10 or less per side. Especially if you don't know the last time it was done. Again, amazing video, just the refresher I was looking for before going into my weekend drum brake project!

    One technique I’ve found that works well with bleeding the rear is to apply the vacuum bleeder, let it run and slowly depress the brake pedal a few times. If you have the larger rectangular brake fluid reservoir, You’ll see the smaller side fluid level go down each time. The vacuum bleeder alone didn’t get my pedal feel where I wanted it. Now the brakes are like a new truck.

    Excellent video. Thanks much. A couple things in my experience. If you get new shackles or replace the bushings with polyurethane, the fit in the bracket will be super tight; I used a plumbers vise and a sledgehammer to buy me a little room. Also, when I was putting it back together, the center bolt of the springs wasn’t even close to the hole with the axle bracket. Turns out with all the moving up and down, the driveshaft was sliding out!

    Please someone help me I have 1998 gmc 1500 5.7L v8 it has the 14 bolt rear end but it has 6 bolt wheel hubs and I just completely ordered the wrong drum set as the backing plate sits so far back and the drum doesn’t meet with it I should have these drums but for 6 bolt I just don’t understand what the hell is going on I can’t fit my drum on

    Im not exactly sure if its completely necessary but i habe always heard if get fluid particularly any oily substance or brake fluid to replace the shoes or pads since they will not be the same.

    thanks for the lesson ! I’m doing a 83 chevy P30 van with dually wheels and I sure don’t have the clearance between the leaf spring and the back of the drum that you obviously have, so I’ve found myself undertaking the removal of the leaf springs to accomplish the replacement of a stripped bleeder screw that has had my van down now for months, I’ve now purchased all the parts I required ( I thought ) like shackles, springs and shocks being that my need to bleed my brakes was troubled by a single sstripped out bleeder screw !!! Well like usual, back to the auto parts store and harbor freight for more stuff !!!

    • @johnknowing-zr8de
      @johnknowing-zr8de Год назад

      I have an 88 Chevy 1 ton dump Same problem you have. So I'm going to try and remove the wheel cylinder pull it out from the back plater then I can bleed it by using clamps on the plunger pins to holds it put pressure through the bleed screw . OR take the U bolts that holds the axle to the rear. Now I can jack up the frame and by doing so the leaf springs goes up away from axle and out of the way.

    Really nice video. I've been trying to decide if I want to tackle this project on my 99 K1500. Your video was actually the most informative I've seen at this point. The main thing I liked was that you actually showed how to support the frame properly. The way you did it was what I believe I needed to do, but this is the only video that has actually shown it. I really appreciate you taking the time to upload your video!

    Hey Jay, just curious what your reason was for replacing your leaf springs?? 🤔

    • @shadyjaysgarage5176
      @shadyjaysgarage5176 2 года назад

      Had been having a lot of rear end drop towing my Nova or Monte Carlo. Also getting an excessive chevy lean. I didn't trust just doing a side-swap to balance it out due to how much my tail end was dropping towing. You can see by the gaps and weld points that the springs were quite old, just time for them to go. Improved the ride and towing.
