Very professional rear brake shoe replacement tutorial / complete go-to classroom guide with step by step user friendly directions.
THIS...has been a very good video!
Chinesium... Love to see how bad they are!!!
For safety always wear safety glasses. When working vehicles.
Not tooo long. Wanna see the chineeesium car
love to se the chinesium. wat about the tpms light on the dash ? sorry for mistakes in text . greetings from brazil.
I remember working on those evil drum brakes when I was like 16-17 years old I am 65 now, learned how to cuss real good. Springs zipping through air, crappy tools, crusty shot hardware, bloody knuckles. Did not know back then you could get new hardware kits. Huge fun!
Seeing those drums brought back some great memories. I vote yes on the Chineseisum car!
Sure thing on the Chinamobile..and like we always told the boss--Thx for coming in today!
thanks ray for posting part 2..... and yes to the Chinese video.
Ohhhh Yeeaaaahh !! Big round of applause for Rainman Ray getting shop floor soaked.
And that is how I have done it for years. Good videos.
Good advice! I cook for a living, we always try to avoid stabbing ourselves in the face.
I seem to remember you disassembling a drum brake to diag something. I think. But I think this is the first ever Dr brake job.
"Dont stab yourself in the face"
Sage advice Ray. Once one finally learns that you WILL eventually hurt yourself when cutting or pulling things toward yourself, and learns to evaluate that every time they have a tool in their hands, they will find themselves in much less pain, and leaking less fluid on a regular basis.
I was very lucky replacing may rear handbrake assembly.
Pointed pliers slipped off the spring and went straight into my left eye.
Fortunately, I had my glasses on and the plastic lens saved my eye.
Made my blood run cold. came so close to losing an eye.
I don't use pliers now.
I immediately took a large flat screwdriver and ground slots into the blade on the side and the tip
so I can lever or push away.
Highly recommend it. Works great.
I still have my brake drum tools from the 70's. I have 3 Chevy OBS trucks with drum brakes.
16:05 ray got me doing this while spraying the wheel sealer on my car wheels after getting the car washed XD
Great video....as usual. As a home handyman mechanic.....I'm not keen on doing drums....but I do. I will usually take some pictures for reference. I usually adjust my drums somewhat tight.....so they drag slightly on the shoes. I find that after a test drive....all the parts find their final resting place and the drums loosen up😊.
Bass Akwards... Classic. Truly. Keep on rocking it Ray! You NEVER fail to entertain us.
Yes...a look is warranted..we should check it out. Thanks.
13:40 with digital cameras on every phone around, take several pictures before you pull the brakes apart. But keep in mind, the last guy may have put things together wrongly. Back in my day, drum brakes was all we had. That and a stick to rub against the wheel.
Oh man, this brings back memories from my old cars own mechanic days. I still get kind of both p**sed off, frustrated, happy, and all kinds of feelings from watching this. 😅 Thank you for taking on and acing the challenge.
Whoever owned this car really took great care of it. It looks amazing for an 11 year old car. Even the steering wheel didn’t show any wear.
Good idea posting second videos on this channel. It's less confusing..
thankyou Ray,enjoyed this part 2,,have a great day,,👍👍
Perfect B.C. sound effects! All nice and shiny!!!
You could not use a worse tool than a needle nose pliers to do a drum brake job. I was screaming at you every time just before they slipped off the springs . In my apprenticeship days I too bashed my nose with a pare of pliers with my boss laughing historically at me and saying I WAS WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. Then he told me to use a pare of side cutters to stretch the springs . You don’t do any damage to the springs as they are hi tensile and you don’t have to apply too much pressure. Give them a try you will be surprised 😊😊😊
I would love a full on inspection of the pure chinesium car
Ray your ass backward approach to the real rear drum brakes was very entertainin and a refresher course of how much a joy to repair.
Had a friend in shop class over 40 years ago used the joiner and it cut the tips of his fingers off. For the longest time we just called him -- Stubby .. Always be safe and wear your glasses and pay attention!!!
It's amazing how you do most things with one hand😮
When doing my apprenticeship in the 90s In Ireland doing back brake shoes at a Renault can't remember the exact model. but very last spring had pointed nose pillars i was one millimetre away from hook it in,safety glasses on,took my eye off the ball as they say,slipped straight into my top lip both points of pillars straight through to my gum........so listen to Raymond, he's talking sense.....and I've the scar to prove it.....stay safe people.....
When I was in high school, I made a spring puller. It was cute. It was just used for doing drum brakes. I gave it to the teacher made life a lot easier just a small little J-hook with a little handle. It’s the same thing like to use for trampolines, but a little smaller.
When I was in High School shop a friend of mine and I took both sides of the test rig off amd it took us two weeks of classes to get UT right it was a great lesson in doing one side at a time.
I worked on cars before disk brakes, and there was a nice tool that had the cup to press the spring to release the retainer on one of the pliers' handles. There was also a point on one jaw that would stab into the brake shoe lining and a spring hook on the other jaw for releasing the springs. Lost the tool years ago when I stopped doing brake jobs, but it made it super easy to tear down and reassemble drum brakes. Amazon still sells the things. I also had a cylinder hone to resurface the cylinders to install a rebuild kit. Made a lot of money in the day with these two tools.
I stopped turning wrenches about 40 years ago but I still have those drum brake tools. I' m not sure why I kept them.
I have such tool, almost 50 years old now, I have 5 vehicles with drum brakes on the rear, and the two old VWs also have them on the front.
@@jj-fl505 you never know when you might need them.
Gotta love drum brakes!
Back in the late 60's when I did this for the first time, I spent hours looking for springs on my parents front lawn. Wish I had needle nose vice grips and not channel lock pliers.
Always interesting see something new
Need to lube the surface of the backing plate where the shoes sit to avoid squeak when the brakes are applied.
It has been a VERY long time since I did brakes. Back then most cars has rear drum, and some even front. So it was common to do them, and I did have the tools for those springs. The ONLY thing I did that you didn't was lube the "spreader" pin and where the shoes contact the backing plates. Probably inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It was great listening & watching your drum brake tutorial. If anyone is thinking of doing them they have what's needed. Great pair of videos.
On the Chinese vehicle, I would be interested in seeing. I have seen a few YT videos of a mini (very mini) truck from China, but no details. Go for it, Ray!
Yes, do the Chinese minicar. I was doing drum brakes back when Ray was a gleam in his grandfather's eyes. Did many a drum brake job in the days before self adjusters. I still have the brake adjuster tool somewhere. Had to replace many broken adjuster cables. Yes I thought about the anti-seize lube on the shoe pads and the adjuster cap without the threads. Also the pins on the adjuster pieces.
It’s not inconsequential, you do it right or don’t do it. Lubing contact points and adjusters means in 50k or 60k the adjusters are frozen and either can’t be backed off to get drum off or freeze up and not allow the brakes to adjust and customer has a low pedal. No excuse for not doing it the right way.
My first 3 cars never had drum brakes, I had never worked on Drum Brakes until recently. Those springs are fun to work with. 😅
Once my brother needed to replace the brakes on his truck. I went to his house to do the brakes and save him dollars. I had changed disc brakes many times. Unfortunately, he also needed the rear drum brakes changed, too. I knew better than to remove both sides at once. However, I could not figure how to put the brakes back together. We had to take the truck to a real mechanic to get the job finished. Last year I needed to replace the drum brakes on my 1968 Cougar. This time I watched a RUclips video as I removed and replaced the shoes.
Watching you is like been back at college learning to repair my own car many many years ago love watching you work bring back good memories thank you ray.
Keep talking Ray - I just love your commentary :)
You did a good job explaining the drum job simple and easy to understand.
Thank you for your precious time Ray
Be safe
"Don't stab yourself in the face"
Good tip, Ray!
Drum Brakes are lighter than Disk Brakes?? So I have heard, butt they are such a pain in the Donkey!
@@michaellleb2843 they're lighter and handle not being used much better than caliper brakes do. Which is why they're starting to become popular again on some EVs since a lot of EVs brake 99% of the time with the electric motor regen instead of using the brakes, the discs end up becoming pretty rusty, also lighter weight = more range
YES on the Chinese car! Sounds interesting!
Gosh. Great video, this should be PRE-purchase inspection. 😮
I'm here for the brake fluid shots 😂 and that's affirmative on the China vehicle.
Thanks, Ray. I invariably watch your videos on a large screen TV and don’t see comments and links, etc. unless I go to my tablet afterwards - which is how I occasionally comment. It’s good that you think of your viewers who are in a similar situation. As a really old guy, I will never do a brake job - or any other job on a car - but I really enjoy being entertained by you. You manage to make the mundane interesting.
What TV?
The RUclips app for Roku show the suggestion for part 2 (and has for years). Can also read and like comments.
Just can't post comments. Which IMAX fine since the UI would suck for that (passwords are bad enough).
Though the Roku app that works as a remote give a usable keyboard (works great for searched too).
I always enjoy the long videos and all the information in them.The fact that you don't stop talking makes the videos fun, informative, and entertaining. Not an easy task. Anyone who has ever done any public speaking will attest to that. Keep up the great work Ray.
This was the best rear drum brake video ever! I have much more confidence to do my own rear drum brakes on my Silverado. Thank You Ray!
I always put a small dab of brake lube on the backing plate where the shoes sit.
The other beautiful thing with Toyota drums is the access to the adjuster wheel through the backing plate. Best adjusted with a flat blade screwdriver bent at about a 30deg angle about an inch from the tip! First car was a 1970 Crown with drums all round. Became rather adept at adjusting those bloody things!
Amazing detail thank you Ray
Damn skippy drum brake jobs are dangerous. I didn't stab myself in the eye BUT I did catch a tension spring up side of my nose gashing it open and the looped end caught the edge of my nasal bone chipping it. But me being me,........ I did get the job done before I got it looked at.
This is without a doubt the best drum brake how-to I've seen, every step explained so well that even a dummy like me has the confidence to attempt it. Now all I need is a vehicle with rear drums (maybe my '69 Cougar that I sold in '78 is still alive and back on the market). Thanks again for this excellent tutorial Ray, it's awarded TWO thumbs up. 👍👍
Not a so good how to video. Lack of lubricating the contact points as well as the adjuster and parking brake pivot means it was done incorrectly. He should show the proper way to do things if he is going to brag about making how to videos.
I say look at the china mobile just to check it out. Thanks for more awesome videos!
Good teachers shouldn’t “shut up”. 30 something years as an amateur home mechanic and I’m still learning, mainly from you. Your video format, your commentary and your humour make your content informative and entertaining. It rubs off on people; from “gravity” to “doodlydoodlydoo” (back in the day…) and learning about engines we don’t get in the UK, it’s very watchable
I like whatever you do you good job I’m from England, but I drive every day no complaints from me
Drum solo! 🤘😝🤘
I poked my eye hard with a ratchet handle oof!
Good instructions Ray
I use needle nose vice grip pliers on those springs so they don't slip on me.
Yes on the Chineesium!
Needle nosed Vise Grips work awesome for what you are attempting Ray.
Love to see a chinesium car report, warts n all.
Having worked on my own brakes back in the day when they were almost all drum brakes it great to see you having as much "fun" as I did. A very fiddly and frustrating repair. LOL!
When that primary spring slipped I sent hours looking for it, in the lawn grass. Ah, the good ole days.
Wow that yarus is a pain in the a$$, as is most foreign rear drum brakes.
Have you ever done the rears on American made autos, way, way easier.
Yes please Ray, that would be interesting to see how they are put together.
I hate those spring retainers for the shoes that you have to press and twist until i bought the tool for it. I always ended up fiddling with it for ages until i got them in the right spot and it was getting on my last nerve so i gave in and bought the tool now it's a 5 min job...
Yep, would love to see the China Car!
One at a time, but taking a few photos as well, applies to many diy jobs
We learn a great deal by watching and listening to you
This should be on your main account
Doing one side of the brakes one at a time to use as reference on how to put the other side back together, we used to call that the "Chinese blueprint" method.
Yes
I saw some emergency break shoes on some rotors a few times on your channel.
1. I enjoy your videos immensely don't alter your concept because of me. 2. Trico is actually the company that invented the modern wiper blade, their products are the Standard in windshield products along with Rain X. In my personal estimation. And yes please do introduce your audience to the "quality" of Asian vehicles and how much lower their domestic use products would not sell well in this market.
Apparently the retainer is called "Cap Spring Retainer"
Thank you for another great video... but I didn't see you check the spare tire... that's one thing I always check just to make sure there is one... keep them videos coming...
I was trained back when drums were more common. Those 6 pads on backing plate should have a film of grease applied, they are wear pads & should have lube.
I remember back in auto shop class they made us use a break drum micrometer!
I still remember cutting/resurfacing drums in the tech school and parts store.
Putting that thick rubber belt around the drum to minimize the vibration was one of the highlights of that job
Yes on the Chinese car👍👍
Brake cleaner used on brakes... Amazing 😂
Yes it will be intertaining
When Ray was doing the rear brakes I was waiting for the other shoe to drop
Back in the day we would find a real worn out system, replace or rebuild using Silicone brake fluid, the same used in the more expensive cars. Results, no more rust and corrosion in the brake system. DOT 3 fluid was highly hygroscopic! No worries about using OEM rubber.
Some drum brake systems have a leading and trailing brake shoe. The difference is the location of the brake material on the shoe relative to the pivot pins and the way it is forced onto the drum. It is imperative that you know what system you have and to ensure you get it right for correct brake operation.
A Mini e.g. The leading shoe would point towards the forward rotation of the wheel. I haven't worked on cars since 1986 so pardon my ignorance if I'm wrong. I did my apprenticeship then a couple of years as a tradesmen but the guy I was working for was a complete asshole. He insisted putting a time limit on every job. When you rush you make mistakes. Doing that work was soul destroying for me.
On this brake the rear shoe will pivot clockwise (on this side) as it is pushed by the wheel cylinder against the drum, and then push, through the bottom link, on the front shoe, forcing it against the drum. Sort of a free power brake system. When I learned brakes, disc brakes were not widely used yet.😊
I’ve done rear brakes 5-6 times in my life. Raymond you make it look so easy
Great content Ray.. Owned a 2007 Yaris for 8 years & covered 90.000 miles here in the UK. Brought back happy maintenance memories, so easy to work on. An ultra reliable machine indeed. Mine had the 1.4 diesel TD (1ND-TV) 5 speed manual shift. 60 MPG + easily achieved & never missed a beat.. Changed it for a Toyota Auris estate 2 years ago with the very same engine and just like the Yaris, super easy maintenance and still enjoy trouble free motoring.....Happy days......
Ray that little thingy's name is entirely dependent on how many times you have tried to fit it's spring and washer
I worked with a guy who managed to get the pliers embedded in both eye sockets while pulling on a handbrake cable. Lost one and only had 30% vision in the other. He had no depth of vision but was allowed to keep his driving license !!!
Eric E
I found it easier to push in the centre of the shoe clip with needle nose pliers, rather than grabbing the edges. Just need to twist the pliers on the pin.
I made a slot in a flat screwdriver to put springs on like that. Use it for chain saws as well.
Yes you have Ray you have done drum brakes before
Very nice explaination on the brake drum refresh. Thank you Ray!
The Chinese car would be great to explore! Those little trucks that you have shipped in a box are fascinating to see how different they are!
I watched the videos in order but RUclips recommended them to me out of order. And heck yeah I wanna see the Chinesium thing!
EVERYTHING IS GROOVY!
yes you did when you were working for another shop some time ago
I have in the past put a large 14 inch screw drive hose clamp on the brake shoes to hold them together while reinstalling the brake springs. I go the large clamp from the HVAC guy at work.
now I have to look for my break tools 2 of them that would make that job easy and fast
I think another good pointer to look for when purchasing a used vehicle is to look for evidence of hidden bodywork / frame repairs,, paint overspray or wrinkles / creases under the hood and below in the sub structure
Good point but, Ray is not a body guy (unless it is making) his vehicle looking prettier) spoken from a 47 year experienced auto body and frame repair guy.
Some plastic parts also have the fabrication month/year stamped on.
@IR-nq4qv Could have posted this comment on the first part of this series of videos.
He said that referenced if it don’t look right then I most likely isn’t right. Just didn’t get super specific with proper names. Probably cause he is very down to earth and mindful and lots of people start hearing too many proper names will become confused or flustered and become disconnected
Great content Ray. But you forgot one key point. On the adjuster, you for got to pull the end off, clean it and add a dab of grease so it doesn't freeze up and not self adjust property. Just a rust belt tip.
Great video
At one time I owned a Chines 150cc scoter lasted about 5000 miles then had lots problems bad rubber tubing, bad tires made of inferour rubber, engine locked up had warenty they did fix it but I had to take it out and mail to Sandeago broke down 3 times I had to walk it home cvt belt broke the rollers wore to fast cheep all over but when it did run 150cc scooters are fun
Ray ; At some point in the future if you chose to you'd make an excellent Automotive Shop teacher ( if auto shop still exists in any schools ) You're great at to the point , easy to understand explanations .
thinking the same thing
