- How to replace the rear drum brakes on a first generation Toyota Tacoma 4wd, this particular truck is a 2001 model. This truck will be getting new shoes, spring kit, and drums. In order to produce this video, Bosch has been kind enough to provide me with the parts required for this replacement. A similar procedure may also apply to the Toyota Tundra and Toyota 4Runner. #toyota #toyotatacoma #toyota4runner

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-brake shoes
-brake drums
-brake spring kit
-pliers
-standard screwdriver
-brake cleaner
-clean rags
-jack and axle stand
-21mm socket and ratchet or wheel wrench
-drum brake retaining spring pliers
-safety glasses
Procedure:
Safely elevating the rear of the trunk, one side can be done at a time, then remove the Hold the pin on the rear, then push the spring retainer down and rotate 90 degrees to disconnect and then remove.
Pull the parking brake mechanic back by hand, then unclip the cable. Remove the cable on the opposite side. Pull the adjuster lever back, then retract the adjuster screw so the pads are compressed.
While this is in place, you can remove the c-clip off the adjuster lever. Behind that is a pinched c-clip, so while this is in place, it’s held so it’s a bit easer to expand this clip and remove. Now pull down the bottom of the pads to disconnect them off the pivot location. Pull the pads from the wheel cylinder and pivot location will help relieve some tension on the springs, making the removal a bit easier.
Disconnect the lower spring and the spring on the top from the brake shoes. Careful around the wheel cylinder boots, do not damage them. And now remove the brake shoes completely. You’ll need to maneuver shoes around the parking brake lever.
Using brake cleaner wash away brake dust into a drain pad and the wipe clean with a rag. It’s important to match up the old and new pads to ensure they are the same. There is a difference between the primary and secondary shoes, ensure you have them in the correct position.
I will be reusing the parking brake assembly as it’s still in good condition along with the automatic adjusters. Clean the components using brake cleaner to remove any dust and then assemble the components. First the lever for the parking brake. New c-clips will be supplied with the new spring kit. Install the c-clip and using pliers, squeeze over the end so the clips are locked into place. Install the adjuster lever. Then install the c clips, do not loose the old ones as new clips may not be supplied in the spring kit.
Check the function of the adjuster screw assembly. This should move freely. Clean as needed and apply new grease or if it’s too far gone, then replace. I do have a video for the clean and lubrication procedure. Install it into place, there will be a tab that clips into the adjuster lever. Flipping the shoe over, there is a spring which connects to the adjuster lever and shoe slot.
You’ll also need to install the return spring which clips in on the backside. Install the new hold down pin with retaining spring. Install the opposite shoe. Again installing the hold down pin with retaining spring. Pull the return spring into place using pliers.
The lower spring at the lower pivot point can be installed, this clips in from the backside. Install the cable for the parking brake, first clipping on the loop side. Pull back the lever and then clip the cable into place.
This truck will also be getting new drums. In this case the new drums have a packaging oil which does need to be cleaned before they’re installed, brake cleaner or brake wipes can be used for this.
Adjust the drum brakes before installing the wheel. In order to do this, you’ll need to expand the shoes by the adjuster screw, either from the front or rear of the drum brake assembly. You can also operate the parking brake bell crank by hand, but this only moves the adjuster one notch at a time so it’s certainly a slower route.
When the shoes are close into position, install the drum brake and then press the brake pedal to center the shoes. Revisit the adjuster again, there should be mild drag when installing and removing the drum. Install the wheel, the torque specification for the wheel is 85ft lbs or 115nm. Then move onto the opposite side.

I'm needing brakes on my 2003 Tacoma. You're video was the best one I've seen on doing them. I think I've seen some of your other videos as I recognize your voice.
That was really nice of Bosch to provide the parts. Great video. I might attempt to do this. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined but messing with my brakes always made me nervous. You don't want to take any chances on your brakes. It can literally kill you if you do something wrong. Your video made it less daunting to think about doing. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial. I used to do it the hard way until I watched your video : ) Never thought about taking the brake shoes off and putting them on as an assembly. Way easier to do it how you explained!
Thank you and happy to help :)
Well illustrated...thanks for the education on this! The only issues I really dealt with are those bottom springs; they can be such a pain!
You're very welcome! Yeah those springs are not fun.
Thank you for this tutorial. The explanation was great and clearly done. I was reluctant to do this at first, but now, not so much.
Much thanks. This video really helped me. Change my brakes for the first time. You are an excellent teacher. 👍
Awesome to hear and thank you for the feedback!
Great job- this helped a LOT putting my rear brakes back together. And thanks for showing both sides, too.
No problem, happy I could help :)
4 min I am thinking.. HOLY CRAP!!!
I can do the front brakes. . . I may just take this off to get rear brakes done.
Just make sure you take photos for a reference if it's your first time. Otherwise it's a huge money saver.
@@4DIYers I did front brakes, Rotors, Calipers, and the passenger side CV Axle..
Then .. 🤬 I tried to bleed the brakes with the wifes help, pedal is going down almost to the floor. I think I still got air in lines, i tried 3×s .. so I called a vehicle doctor who will charge me $50 to rebleed them properly and evaluate tomorrow.. 🤞🏻
I hope to get it back right.
So.. no I didnt wanna try rear brakes. I may later on or let someone help ..
@@coppertopv365 Use a vacuum pump instead, I have a video and it makes bleeding brakes so much easier.
Goodness thank you! I would have taken another couple hours to do this if not for this video!
Happy I could help :) I have plenty more Tacoma videos too if you're seeking more info.
This is a great video. Thank you so much for putting it out there.
One bit of info I was looking for but you didn't mention was lubrication points - I was told not to use my parking brake until the pivot points were greased, but I'm a little wary of slapping grease randomly inside a brake assembly...
I worked on my old VWs and used red hi-temp wheel bearing grease---just a touch on the pivot points when assembling. (I used hi-temp, bc I was afraid of it melting when the brakes heat up---my new container says 500F). I need to do my Tacoma brakes. They don't look too different, but I don't want to make a mistake, plus it's been 25 years since I did brakes.
Very informative thank you.
This video helped me a lot, thanks 🙏🏼
Glad to hear it!
Yes it was very helpful. Thank you for your video content.
Greetings for you from Iraq
I love how you just pop that last spring on with pliers. Seriously, how did you get it to stretch that easily??? I cannot get mine stretched enough, with a pry bar.
HI Thanks for great content but I do have a question
Hi does anyone knows which size is the correct one for 99 Tacoma pre Runner SRS 5 -
4 : 10" x 1.99" brakes or 11.61" x 2" brakes. when I try to but online it shows both fit but that cant be right. Please help
Thank you for the feedback! As for your rotor size, the best option is removing your wheel and measuring them. The only other option is calling the dealer and supplying them with your VIN.
After 267000 miles my rotors have a lip formed on the outer edge and grooves in the rotors. I bought the truck new in 2001. I guess I had to finally replace something!
Excellen tutorial . thanks so much !!
Glad it was helpful and thank you!
When you’re done you say you have to adjust and keep adjusting but to what exactly?
Awesome share braddhah
Mahalo from Hawaii
No problem and thank you for the kind words!
thank you brother!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you. I appreciate the help
You're welcome!
Nicely done. Will use to help replace Tacoma brakes!
Thank you! I have plenty more Tacoma videos too.
Was just about to do mine but my jack doesn’t raise it far enough to take the wheels off
I just need to replace the drums on mine. Do they need to be adjusted or lathed?
New drums do need to be cleaned with brake cleaner before installing. You'll also need to install new shoes, potentially a spring kit and then it needs to be adjusted.
I just had new shoes, and springs installed. @@4DIYers
i smashed the like button.
Thank you so much!
Super clear and helpful tutorial. Are the drum brakes for the 2WD version much different?
Thank you! If I remember correctly, they maybe a smaller diameter and will be a 5 lug instead of 6, but other than that it should be the same.
My truck is 2wd, but it's the same as these. My 2wd is a TRD prerunner . So the parts are just 11 in .. the first time they gave me 10 in ones, those were small and Differnt.
Just a follow up on this, it's pretty much exactly the same, except some of the mounts for the springs are reversed back to front
So I only need to press the brake pedal? Or do I need to bleed them after installing?
No need for bleeding. Bleeding is only done if the fluid was excessively low(empty master cylinder), you replaced a component that directly uses brake fluid or you opened up a fitting or bleeder exposing brake fluid and potentially letting air into the system.
Smart man
Thank you!
Do you know what size drum you used?
Done, but I get a lot of pedal travel before braking begins. Needs adjustment? And possibly bleeding?
Yes it needs to be adjusted. Or drive the truck in reverse and keep applying the brakes, it should self adjust.
@@4DIYers Thanks, man!
You forgot to grease the brake-shoe-edge lands on the freshly-cleaned backing plate before installing the new brake shoes.
I've tried stretching the top spring with pliers and it does not go, no way. I got a set of spring pliers but I think they don't work for this application. Any other tips for getting spring on? I tried getting spring on and putting both shoes over the hub together and ended up ripping the dust cover on the cylinder (turns out it was leaking inside the cover and needed replacing). I'm kind of at a loss on how to get the spring back on
I attached the spring before installing the assembly onto the wheel.
No, you didn't. Not with both springs attached you didn't.
Anyone know the best way to make these last longer? Coating with something before install would be nice. Thanks for Video, very straight forward.
AMAZING ONE🍻
Thank you :)
How often you gotta change these?
Every time you change the front brakes, 3 months, 3,000 miles 🤷🏼♂️
Depends on your driving style, but drums brakes should easily last 100,000 miles.
A link to your drum removal video would be very helpful.
Here it is ruclips.net/video/eV-HDkGaTKM/видео.html
Is this the same on a 95 4 runner?
I believe so, I haven't worked on a 4Runner but I know the 3rd is very similar to the 1st gen Tacoma .
You didn't torque to spec lol thanks man helped alot
