Would it be the green spring on driver side for a right hand drive focus ?. Great video really helped all stripped down and cleaned, all ready now for reassemble
If I sent you picture of my rear assembly can you tell me what I need to replace
Why cut the spring off if you are making a how to video?
VEERICLEH
The fact that a company has made parts and tutorials with those parts so you can do it yourself with them on video is amazing 👏 GREAT QUALITY

Brotherman, you deserve a raise for this tutorial! I was trained professionally with working on brakes. I have performed brake repairs over the years. However, I’m also humble enough to find related brake repair video for particular model I haven’t touched and ensure there’s no tricks.
Your walk through, thorough explanation and even mishap using tool here and there is exactly what we need.
Thank you!!!!!
One of the best tutorials out here!! This is literally step by step good job💪🏼
That was by far the best video I have seen so far. Very good.
A few things I noticed that might add to what was a great job....
I would have replaced the brake cylinders even if they were ok. It makes no sense not to replace them as they are inexpensive and can fail at any time. Why do all that work and then maybe have to do it all again a week later because the brake cylinder has failed and started to leak fluid all over the new brake shoes. It's what's called a false economy.
Many people, myself included find it's a lot easier to assemble all the components OFF the vehicle. Fit all the springs, adjusters, shoes, etc together and then fit them to the vehicle. You only then need to refit the emergency brake cable and the two shoe retainers.
The last thing I would like to mention is that you were transferring a fair amount of grime from your dirty gloves to the friction material of the shoes. The shoe linings were clearly quite dirty by the time you had finished. That needs to be given a light sandpapering to remove any oily residues.
Actually there is another thing. If you have to struggle to remove the drum which is almost always the case, I would replace the hub bearing because all the hammering, levering, jiggling is stressing the hub bearing to the point it may fail very soon afterwards if not replaced. Again, another false economy to not replace it.
Cheers and be lucky.
You are supposed to torque the spindle nut in increments to 173 ft lbs while rotating the drum counterclockwise at least 10 revolutions at each step. Otherwise if you don't the bearing will fail quickly...
"Just give it a friendly Bonk", "A little hookydu". I love it. Thanks for a nice video - I feel like now I can tackle this for the first time.
+Scott Preston Thanks for checking us out!
my thoughts exactly
🍯
Very useful video and I like that it wasn't a fixed camera so there were plenty of close-ups making it much easier to see exactly what's required.
When worried about the shoes sliding or walking out from the pressure applied trying to put the cross spring on the top (you were having a hard with) take a large zip tie and torque it down around the outside of the shoes (in a big circle around the both sides) It always holds everything tight and eliminates the wheel cylinder from being able to push out the shaft. Once all the springs are attached, snip it off.
I've seen two videos with this tech. Absolutely love the "You do you Boo-Boo"

@16:38 I felt I was watching the auto-mechanic version of Bob Ross. lol
30:40 it's a lot easier to just secure the brake shoe that has the parking brake connector down with the clip first, then leave the other side free and just connect your top and bottom springs to both, then its just a matter of pulling the brake shoe into place which takes little effort compared to pulling the spring in such an awkward position. Did it today on both sides of the focus and it worked fine.
After you get the axle nut on, youre supposed to rotate the drum counter-clockwise as you torque it down with at least 10 revolutions in between. Also, the stock axle nuts are not meant to be reused. This is just all straight from the manual. Otherwise, super helpful video!
Something that you should warn your viewers about, is that the drum/hub assembly is pressed on to the spindle from the factory. and it sometimes might require a hub puller that can be rented at some auto parts stores. and on the inside of the drum/hub assembly there is a tone ring for the ABS. in most cases the new drum/hub assembly doesn't come with a new tone ring on it. which means you will have to transfer the tone ring from the old drum/hub assembly to the new one. being very careful not to damage the magnet on the tone ring. or if the new drum/hub assembly comes with the tone ring pre installed then you can install the drum/hub assembly. but before doing so make sure and check the wheel speed sensor. it's located on the backing plate near the seal surface where the backing plate bolts on to the spindle. once located that particular area where the wheel speed sensor is should be clean of any debris and metal particles. because the tone ring is magnetic, if this part of the procedure is overlooked the ABS light on the instrument cluster will come on. and your anti lock braking system will not function.
Gots give them bonk bonk bonks.. sometimes just a little bonk... love it best mechanic on the show
Just did this tonight, and to get the drum off I put the wheel back on so I could get better leverage to wiggle it back and forth. Came off way easier than expected.
+Joe Norman Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
Simple yet genius idea.
This is the most barbarian approach to replacing drums ive seen
Outstanding 👍🏼💯🙌🏼 video especially the step-by-step process including comparing the old parts to the new parts from A1. Thank you 🙏
I will be purchasing all Brake parts from A1 auto 👍🏼.
2003 focus wagon here.. very familiar with the rear drum replacling..always due to bearing failure... ive used drums from autozone and Oreillys.. both last only a couple of yrs and then the bearings will drone...Ive torqued them to spec and in stages while rotating the drumas its tightend in stages... my theory is that these aftermarket drums have poorly lubed bearings from the get go..its designed to fail... Side note: Having just had to replace these again I noticed the outer bearing in the hub is consistantly the one that goes and heres why: the inner bearing had grease in it still and turned smooth but its also a sealed bearing with rubber seals...the outer bearings in these are Not sealed and just have a standard metal dust sheild .. what happens is the grease is lost in the outers and the drum ends up droning.. solution would be decent sealed bearings in Both inner and outer positions... I added some heavy duty grease on the outer side and pressed it in and around that bearing so as its factory grease wears out, this extra bit of grease can help keep it lubed... the bearing on the outside is isolated from the inner brake parts so the grease should not affect brakes.. have to see how this holds up.. Great vid and breakdown.. however, I would never use snips to Hold the springs , his othe method was better.. lastly, that drum Needs to be rotated Counterclockwise as the torque is being applied to seat the bearings properly as per factory instruction.
Thanks for the absolute zero mention of the ABS Tone Ring that is required to before sealing up that drum! Nice I’m out 264 bucks!!
I hope 1Aauto pays len very well cause he greased the hookiedoo out of those friction points BRAVO MY GUY BRAVO!
im glad to see you struggle trying to put the tension springs back on.
the last & 1st time i tried i thought i was gonna tear a tendon or break my wrist .
You can assemble the springs before attaching the shoes to cable and backing plate. Spin the drum while torquing the spindle nut so the bearing races wont get damaged.
That rust on the drum where the backing plate sits on. I just used a wire wheel on my grinder to clean it. Works like a charm. Was thinking of just ordering new rotors but i don't have extra money for that right now. So i used a wire wheel to clean it up
this Irishman is very helpful in all his videos ,thanks man,you saved me a lot of headaches !!
+Thomas Frank Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thanks, some said install all springs except lower, tried to much pul etc , did it your way today, perfect and lined up correct. Did not like it though , front was easy disc compared to this. But i am not a technician. But with your help my classic drums are fixed. Saved some bucks😅😮
Thank you 1A Auto. I had been needing to replace a stud on my 2003 Focus for many years. I finally got around to doing it.
I saw your video at about 5.50pm on the Monday 18th September because I was working on my ford focus mark 1 and I am thinking about putting new parts on my car
+Stephen Joseph Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Len: "your situation might be different, yours (drum) might just come right off. I hope so." Len, he's one of the good ones 🤝
Great video as I have an 04 focus and I'll have to replace the shoes here soon, I now have a better idea and will be more confident after watching your video, thank you very much.
Just did this on my 06. I was doing the passenger side (for now). Was SUCH a pain trying to get the spring back on. Then the (old) drum didn't want to go back on... Such a pain.
Thank you for the very thorough video. ❤
Thank you and I agree with some of the comments a close up of specific things like where the springs go would be good feature
Gotta love this guy's terminology, lol... Excellent info!
Brilliant video, especially on how the auto adjuster works, very good camera angles and no missing action on some of the tricky bits!, it's a job I.ll be doing tomorrow, you helped a lot! Thank You
+Zak Khan Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks! Your instructions are clear, step by step, and I really appreciate the careful camera work as well! Thanks for posting!
Good logical vid, I have a couple points of feedback. 1. a small vice grip is a much better option to use to grip springs, rather than to teach public to use side cutters. The wrong person on side cutters will result in broken parts! 2. Ford says to never use the old axle nut! Maybe they just want to sell more parts, but the new nuts i am using from Ford have a bit of a squash to them, ie locking. Even the new brake drums came with a sheet of paper in them that states never use the old nuts. 3. Ford also says to spin the drum at least 10 times while torquing.
+Chad Reed Thanks for the feedback!
Hahaha so just because Ford says take your wife to your close dealer to have her maintenance you will do it right. Sheeeeep hahaha don’t be stupid he cut the springs because he have a new ones .
agreed about the cutters! as far as the nut, ive reused ours about half a dozen times no issues.. torque to 175ftlbs and use some loctite, no issues
@@allenrock7576 he's talking about how someone could accidentally CUT THE NEW springs with cutters when trying to muscle them into the holes... Clown.
Can you add to this video and explain to people what the magnetic sensor is and where it goes on the new rear drum. I just finished doing this job and discovered there is a magnetic sensor for ABS brakes that must be transferred over to the new drum or you have to get a new one, either way, without this sensor, your ABS light and your traction control light will come on.
Pro tip. If the drum is really hard stuck, take an old focus front brake rotor and lug nut bolt it to the drum inverted and use a large gear puller. The rotor gives a better lip for the puller to hook onto. Slides right off. This tip will work on any stuck drum with lug studs pressed in. Rotor also can be hammered against.
+Mark Spindler Thanks for the tip!
Dam! Great Idea 👍🏼😃
Something you absolutely have to do to prevent bearing damage. You have to spin the hub counterclockwise while you tighten and torque the hub nut. That bearing will be shot soon. Take it from a Ford tech. You have to spin the drum a min of ten times as you tighten slowly. When your bearing fails it’s not the bearing. It’s installing like it was done in the video.
+brock baker Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto welcome, we appreciate the videos.
+brock baker Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Also don’t forget to take the ABS tone ring off the old drum and put onto the new one. I didn’t see him do that.
Thanks folks, great to see stuff like this, helps ppl like me learn stuff. I like doing my own stuff.
Excellent video!!! Thank You for making it. The other video I watched before this one had the camera either 20 feet away or the guy standing in front of the camera blocking the view.
+mysterion1313 Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
You could remove the entire assembly by removing the 2 side clips & disconnecting the parking brake. Lay it on the floor and assemble the new parts to match after cleaning up the adjuster.
Agree, i find it a lot easier that way, assemble it all on the bench
+222macman Thanks for the feedback!
Great video. If you have abs (probably do) make sure you get the correct drums. Id your drums don't come with them you need to transfer the abs rings or you'll have a light on.
+Richard D Thanks for the feedback!
you explained like a teacher again
I followed your video step by step but the drum won't fit over! Tried on both rear tires. Plesase tell me how to solve this problem! Thank you so much for the video, amazing!
fanastic video,love your down to earth approach,not condescending like some vids.very helpful and brilliantly done imo.many thanks!!
+Jason Gaunt Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Replacing my brakes on my 04 focus , followed your steps and all went together well. I'm having issues with the drum going over the brakes though. Cant collapse it anymore, any advise ?
Same I need help
Move the shoes around and try to center as best you can until the drum slides over the shoes
? Should the Bearing Spindle be Greased? when installing Drum? thanks
Always worth painting the outside of the drum,helps keep the rust at bay!
I’d be careful with painting contact areas though like where the wheel meets the drum. We are no mechanical engineers and who knows what sort of effect it can have on how solid the wheel sits on afterwards when there is a layer of paint in between. A layer of paint is not as solid as steel of course and if it compresses due to dynamic loads (rotating wheel) then it may give the wheel nuts slack. But areas which don’t contact anything.. good idea.
Is it OK to put never seize on the back of the rim where it touches the hub before installing the wheel?
Amazing video made the job easy
Great job showing everything
❤At 4:00 to 5, my solution that works well, put the wheel back on one more time with two nuts and use the wheel as a lever, same as you did between the drum and the wheel but this time with the Spindle nut removed the force is applied to the bearings 👍😎✊
+@steven.h0629 Thanks for the feedback!
Maybe you should try a 3 arm gear puller... Works wonders. With no damage.
That upper springs can be put on before going over the wheel cylinder. I like that he cleaned that adjuster, I didn’t clean mine, but wish I did.
I know it moves so should work okay.
If the line fitting strips, just remove the line at the other end, then remove it with the wheel cylinder. Slightly tweak the line to get it off, but watch not to kink it. Bench vise to remove the line. (Cannot buy a line pre-bent line, no one sells it, even the dealer). Then file the rounded fitting so a adjustable wrench can tighten it. If you can file it to a 10mm that’s the best, since it’s a 11mm. Then you can use a tubing wrench to tighten it.
I used a gear pulley rigged with a 16mm bolt and two lugs installed backwards to pull it off. Came off in about 5 seconds with my impact tool.
I thought when torquing the spindle nut you are supposed to turn the drum counterclockwise 10 times its in the shop manual from ford
Excellent video
The wheel speed sensor is not included with the new drum, if you want abs and traction control transfer that over from your old drum
Very helpful thanks ❤🎉
Vice grips work a lot better than a wire cutter for those Springs! Grab the spring in the middle with the grips
You guys are a blessing thank you! 🤙🏻
good job
Talking of rust seperation, did you notice the fuel tank seam seperation, thats gonna leak very soon...Good video, nice details.
+mark whitfield Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks for the video, saved me some pains
This dude made a focus turn into an f150 how cool
I have no idea what ford was thinking of on this design. I've changed many hundreds of shoes from most manufacturers over the years, even early 1930's cars, this has to be the worst I've seen.
Wow.
Thank for for your video, its a real insight and dreed. When I used to work at a dealership, we were given around 15mins for a disk, 30 -45 mins for a drum, this looks like a major project and maybe I should allow a day to change both sides.
A set of pads or shoes should be quick and easy. That top spring, what were they thinking.
Thank you.
Great Video! Great video quality, explanation, and commentary, lol Great Job, You're a Rockstar!
+Kenneth J. Jamrozy II Thanks for checking us out!
Just did this. Huge pain. No idea how much mechanics charge but I'd consider that route if possible.
This guy rocks!
Great tutorial
I highly disagree about cutting old return springs when doing a drum brake job. The easiest and safest way that I would recommend is to remove your hold down springs, that way you can remove the shoes as a assembly and unhook the return springs. You can then repeat the process in reverse when reinstalling so you won't fight with the springs when installing. Remember every application bis different but still serves the same function. Another tip for cleaning brakes. Use water and dawn dissoap to clean the area and new parts to remove dirt, oil and other foreign matter
I would say, use brake cleaner… pouring water right into the area you just de-rusted doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.
Good that i watch this Ford Focus Mk1 specific drum brake video… all the generic drum brake videos on RUclips show that you can just take off the drum after removing the wheel. Apparently with this Focus you also need to remove the center nut. Could have been hammering on the drum for a long time if i didn’t know that lol.
+Richard Thanks for the feedback!
Great video but use needle nose pliers on those clips its so simple.
Outstanding video! Thanks for the help.
+Michael Morris Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
really really helpful
+Matt Lakin Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great Video ! personally I like spinning the drum as I tighten the axle nut .might just be the old school in me.
+samuel latimer Thanks for the feedback!
that's what Ford says to do as well as axle nut needs replaced every time...one-time use. 2:38
I feel like I'm getting a lesson on how to change my brakes from my junior high PE coach
Just take the pins and the lower spring out first, the whole shoe assembly comes off, then you can easily take those top springs off without any pliers, reverse order for assembly.
going to try this method, thank you. If you have any other suggestions id love to hear it
My new drums from Advance didn't have the metal seal/clip thing on the end of the drum hum by the bearing. So I needed to take my old ones off of old drums.
U could try to push back the springs with a plier not with cutters
Brillant. Do you need to replace bearings
This was really good and helpful video thank you so much 🤗❤️
so.. if I did pop the piston out out the cylinder, I HAVE to replace it.. ?
excellent teaching
Great video.Thanks
As usual, a very good video! Well filmed. Jesus loves you, and He is the Way!
Personally I would use long nose pliers to hold a cable I had no intention of cutting instead of wire cutters, while you know how sharp your tools are and how much pressure to use to grip, it only takes a momentary lapse of concentration to create a much bigger job for yourself or create a weakness in the cable that could break in the future
My E Brake does not work. Can you just back up a few times in reverse to adjust??
I really wish you would have shown the self adjuster up close how to get everything lined up properly snugged in there.
I would change the wheel cylinders, staring to leak. My drum was so tight to the shoes on one side. Could not rotate drum by hand, got to remove it and check why it’s so tight and also forgot the ABS ring swap.
+@cndvd Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome! Learned a lot!
+Mateo Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
You can easily tell he had good parents that conditioned him well. It really really shows for the ones that did a great job.
Excelent
How can I tell if my wheel bearing has gone bad? Apart from sound
Over here we got the old and busted parts and then we got the new hotness parts
I wish you mentioned that the brake drum needs the abs wheel sensor, replaced or swapped old to new. If you don't buy the drum with abs sensor. Made that mistake and have a very pissed off friend bc abs light came on after my brake job.
Awesome Video A+
Seems like I'm going to do mine the other way. My bearings and drum are good.
09-11 same, same right??
