I swear you edited out 4 hours of frustration and cursing. Come on, be honest...
Yea I'm watching her while I'm on break from ding the similar on a liberty so I don't lose my mind!!!@
To the lady mechanic that did this video ...... GREAT JOB! I think that you were one of the few, if not the only, mechanic that had the guts to tackle this video. Those springs are a pain in the @$$ and you showed that difficulty as well. THANK YOU for the help.
And she did it without removing the wheel hub!!!
I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK just like this, note you need to adjust the parking brakes before reinstalling the calibers and pads. Once you install the brakes you can’t access the adjuster. Install the rotor, tighten brake shoes til you can no longer turn the hub, then back off until the hub turns freely
For those wondering about adjusting the brake pads, before assembling the caliper, adjust the brake pads until you feel drag on the drum, then back off just until you feel less drag. Not too far though. You still want to feel a very little drag to actually seat in the pads. The adjuster in the hand brake will pick up the slack when needed.
Thank you good sir. Watched that part of the video twice and she only mentions it but doesn't do it.
Thank you for making a realistic video for this. I'm a mechanic and this job drove me nuts! Couldn't believe how difficult it was to get those stupid springs on...

My neighbors are in for treat when they hear my new vocabulary of cuss words when I do this in my driveway. Great video.
The addition of the spider was a nice touch!
This is exactly what one needs to remove and re-assemble the parking brake shoes on a Jeep Wrangler. It took me all of 10 min to assemble the shoes AFTER I viewed this video. Bravo!
+Mike Ratko Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy we could help.
Having tried this without this video, I am glad to see someone more experienced than I have to fight with this assembly as well! Great video and has taught me a few tricks to make this easier!

Nice job, I've been doing brakes for 40 years, did a lot of front drums and still do on rare occasions front drum brake shoes. Watching this video I learned something new, thanks for sharing your knowledge and uploading this video.
Thank you for this great video.
Too many times people will cut away and TA - DA!....everything is assembled (or disassembled) but you showed all the struggles and their resolution.
Thanks for showing the REALITY of this procedure.

I’m quite impressed at your lack of curse words.
Just did this repair, let me save you a ton of time and swearing. Get yourself visegrips, some with long pointed jaws. Use those to grab the end of the long spring. By having a death grip on the end you can articulate the spring to the insane angle needed to get the spring in the hole. Whoever designed this assembly should be fired and never engineer again.
Mark, I agree with you 100%. Especially on the engineering issue. What a complete idiot! Any engineer could have looked at a 60 year old VW and seen an excellent example of rear drum brakes that also serves as a parking brake and HEY ..... The were self adjusting. I wonder how many "engineers that plan went through and all of them thought it was a great design. There should be a requirement for engineers ....... that you have to work on the product that you design.
@@fyrescu324 100% agree, the engineer's curse should be to have to work on their design every damn day, then they might actually care about their design!
Having just done this on a liberty I will be getting some needle nose knipex pliers with the big vise gripe she used in the video
Very brave to attempt this on camera. I just did this on an 09 SRT8 Challenger. Total PITA, and I've done at least a 100 regular drum brake overhauls, no problem. I had to devise my own way of doing it. I put the nails and butterfly clips on the shoes, first, because its much easier then. Then I worked on the anchor end, and in my particular app, the single crazy-powerful spring. Like you, I used some c-clamps to hold the shoes from skeetering away from each other and holding them flat to the backing plate, when I'm trying to install that (damn)spring. Once that's on, it's easy to install the adjuster and spring on the other end of the shoes. First side took a couple hours, at least. Other side took a 1/2 hour.
Just did this based on this video. You have my absolute respect!

First, the was the best video I could find on the topic. I thought that it was very good step-by-step. Second, it felt like there were some 'magic moments' - at least two. These were when we made it from one step to the next with some part missing in the middle. Don't get me wrong, I think it would have been much tougher to do the job without this video. Magic moments: how does she get the brake lever disengaged from the brake cable? The manufacturer's manual (and Chilton) would have you take apart the center console. Unsure how she did it, but it's pretty easy if you pop the c-clip (or is it an e-clip?) off and then do it. You can easily pop that c-clip back on after re-attaching it to the cable during reassembly. Second magic moment (at least for me) was the spring reassembly portion. Here's what I finally did that made it (relatively) easy. Connect the back long spring and do what she did. Make sure you have the lever in at least the top pad's notch. Slide the front/second spring into place and put the spring first into the BOTTOM pad. Then use needle nose pliers to put it in the top pad. Much easier! I struggled for like two hours on this at first. Changed my tactics to those above and popped both brakes (left & right) in in about 30 mins each.
+OACinc Thanks for the feedback! 1aauto.com
Thanks for posting this video. I'm old enough to have done enough drum brake jobs, but this was my first time doing parking brakes for a 4WD vehicle with rear disc brakes. Probably the least fun I've had under a car lately, but with a few tips from your video, the job was bearable. Had I not watched this first, I probably would have pulled the rear axle shafts/hubs out to make room, but after watching you work around the axle components, I did the same. For me, vise-grip needle-nose pliers made all the difference. Struggled with the springs until I pulled those out.

Last time around I did pull the axles, and replace the rear parking brake plates with fully loaded units (MOPAR, on sale)
Sue, I'd let you work on my vehicle any day of the week. I was clinching my teeth watching you have to deal with the crappy engineering design on these brakes, but you gave it hell. And always a big Thank You to 1A Auto for all the videos!
You made that job look easy .. That butterfly clip is a joy . Why they didn't stick to the old type with the coil spring and round cap . Thank you helped a lot today

Thank you for the video. it is always a good thing to see how someone else does something, because sometimes we are so convinced that our method is the best, that we cannot see a simpler way...
This is a great video. Thank you. The first brake took me 5 hours (ridge on the drum portion of the parking brake + the wheel sensor just. didn't. want. to. come. out.). Second one took an hour. This video really helped when sequencing the assembly of the parking brake.
This lady is exemplary! 🔥🔥🔥
Sooooo.....I see lots and lots of swearing and throwing stuff in my future. Lmao
Thank you .... Those springs are the worse. I'm glad I watched what you did.

There is a special tool for removing drum brake springs. Spring pliers. Save your knuckles and time.
Easy to say, much harder to do, especially with these e-brake setups. I've done at least a hundred regular drum brakes, these are at least 20x harder. Terrible design as far as servicing goes.
This video was so helpful. Thank you for posting it. Man those springs are no joke, made me question my faith!
Is no one going to mention the massive spider?!
Cheiracanthium is a genus of spiders in the Eutichuridae family. Certain species are commonly known as the "yellow sac spider"
Went looking for this comment
it was green, green is good lol
still would have jumped, shes a bad ass
Massive????
If you’re having issues, use two small zip ties. One around the top of the metal flange to hold the eye bolt housing together, and one around the eye bolt tied the frame of the Jeep to hold the flange tight to the backing plate. This is keep the flange stationary while you mess with the springs/shoes. Hope this helps!
Make sure that you reassemble the brake adjuster on the drivers side in the up position. down on the passemger side.
Great instructional video and the camera angles shown were great. Great job.
+sentencj4x4 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
If my wrangler ever needs the e brakes done i think ill just sell it and let the new owner handle it ! LOL you did a great job thanks for showing the way
Great job! I only have a couple add ons for DIY'ers. Always wear safety glasses when working with springs and be really careful around the tone ring/exciter ring. Otherwise very well done.
The video is excellent. Step by step. Wish there was more to include the adjustment of the new installation. Thank you!
Great job. My 06 Wrangler ebrake does nothing, so I pulled the rotor to see what it looked like. I would have sworn you needed to pull the axle to get to everything. Explains why a shop quoted me $450 to do the job. Thx for the video.
literally the WORST thing to have to replace on a car. I've done it many times and every single time i want to burn the world down. Great job not smashing it to bits at every step :)
+Jason Neri some repairs can be a pain! Thanks for checking us out.
@@1AAuto biggest understatement of the century.
I recommend blunting the cutter edges for use as you show. Don't damage the springs so much. I used to do this for tie wire and end nippers when placing rebar.
I would send you a picture of my Jeep in the driveway with the tires off. I got the shoes off with springs attached somehow but could not get the new ones on. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
Some useful tricks on how to put together the double springs, saved me lots of time, thanks!
+Forbes Mike Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
how should the adjuster be set? Too bad you didnt go over that in more details...maybe you could make another separate video just about that topic..:-) Otherwise, well done video. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support and knowledge
Thanks so much for this video. It’s an exact fit for what we worked on today. Better than a shop manual. Just a nice walk thru, step-by-step!

some real quality camera work here let me tell you
Almost perfect video. It was perfect as I have this job to do. I only wish you went through adjusting the parking brake. Would love to see that from an actual mechanic... THank you
+@thomassylvestro9041 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
Excellent video, thank you. I appreciate that. I will never do this myself now.
After shoving scredrivers through seals on old 70s drumbrakes I learned to swear more and then disk breaks seemed so much better in my 80s cars. When I got my ford faimont 2000 it had so much tec. Seperate lines and the fuild was divided into four in the resivoir. Then there is swerve control, traction control and abs which can brake making a buzzing noise for an actuator I guess. happy to let it be done by mechanic who said the handbrake pad was separate. I assumed it still pushed on disk with a tiny pad. I think this is what I should have pictured and maybe you have saved me big time as I have to relase the handbrake a little bit more. They try to make 2 clicks enough but it sticks a little in reverse. Not if I drive forwards. It may just be more physical adjuster than the cable. So it seems like Im headed back to the 70s style adjusting with screwdriver or old tool through that little hole and I bet its a knuckle basher. Righty tighty can be cunfusing with vision obscured and tight lossens pads. I can still remember some one using a file to get a ridge off the drums before putting back on. I really hope that is how mine is made and mechanic were not thining of newer vehicles. But my big surprise was all that was also on my 02 honda st1100 not swerve control but adds about 3000 on new price with good to go switches and lights bank angle sensing but 4 separate carbies all hidden where the tanks used to be. Still to heavy for me to be lifting solo and even cheating the changing plugs was much harder job than necessary. Please let this hand brake be simple
Great instructions. I am dreading doing this job.
Nice video. I always recommend wearing eye protection when working with springs. :)
Thank you for the feedback and for watching! +cu2tonite

Kudos for showing how much of a struggle it is to reassemble these brakes rather than just cutting to "and now it's done" .

Great video, doing a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport parking brake as I write. The tip using a welders clamp I'm going to try out. Seeing you doing this made my job much easier. The spider scared me! Was that on purpose : ). Two items I question. The anti seize route I may omit and use a light grease. Both types are probably fine. And where the shoes rest on the high spots, I will grease those too.
Great video, you saved my day thank you very much. Keep up good work and videos 👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Having followed your instructions, I ran into a big problem when you got to the e-brake pivot. Mine was frozen, and you didn't say how to get it out. That was a big problem for me.
Great video, very helpful. Did anyone notice the spider at 5:58
Awesome tutorial!!! Thanks!
Thanks for the little tips. Depsite my friends complaining about going to youtube.

+matt8863 Thanks for the feedback!
I hate that all these new model cars use an electronic eBrake, I so much rather have the mechanical one. Do the JLs still have a mechanical eBrake ?
how to check please the problem of loose foot parking brake in dodge durango 2012 ?
has to change shoes ?
cables ?
or just we need to adjust it ?
Life saver. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks! Fantastic video - HUGE help.
very well made video. just started working on my daily driver 2008 jeep patriot drumssss noooooo

You can hook both orange springs on the bench and then turn the whole assembly into place
Thank you very much,...lesson learned! Now, the swearing begins too,.eh Shawn?
I like the spider at 6:03. 😂
Can we get some footage uploaded on how to adjust the parking brake? I have a repair manual, but it’s always great to see it done
+Judas Perez We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com
Alright, thanks for the good footage you all put out!
@@1AAuto.....Wait......You put in new parking brake shoes with the adjustment jacks all the way in and you don't say how to make those adjustments for the new shoes? Curious.
You forgot to lube the ends of the shoes in the pivot and adjuster as well as the backing plate.
I love this girl 😂
did you first de-tension the ebrake cable at the ebrake hand lever mechanism (using the locking pin method)
Anyone watching this for torque soecs, caliper bracket torque is actually 55, not 77. Caliper bolts are 26lb/ft.
3 years later trying this on a rusted old Jeep. Old stuff just came apart through snapping and flying in my face, it was all rusted and destroyed. In my 3rd hour trying to put the big orange springs on, already bleeding from every part of my hands. The guy who came up with this wonderful system needs to be imprisoned and forced to replace brake shoes on every car in the world every day.
I knew there had to be a way to get them and that back spring on with brute force!
Most of the millennial tubers that don’t know old style brakes talk of pulling the axles to make it EASY for them 😂
Thanks for the how to 👍
Millennials pay attention to mom not what you learneded on the web😉
Great video. Made it easy
Great video, thank you!
+Cam Giannetti Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
😢I have a 2012 Liberty. Do you do housecall repairs?
Super pozdrawiam z pl.
I did the exact same one, but for some reason, my brake shoe is stuck on the pivot instead of the actuator. And it is not engaged on the actuator. Not sure why or even how that is possible. So it wont expand or contract now. Any suggestions?
No mention of which way to turn the adjuster to loosen the drum. You need to turn it to the front. Still couldn't get mine off on the passenger side. It turns At 8:35 the E-Brake pivot magically comes out. Like to know how to do that.
This is hands down one of the most frustrating repairs to have to do on the JK. Lots of cussing and thrown tools before you finally get everything back in place. Jeeps design team failed miserably with this system. Plus, it never stays in adjustment AND you have to remove the entire caliper/retainer assembly just to get to the adjusters.
great video! Thank you for uploading!
Is there a reason why the Hub with the 5 bolt not remove ? It seem to be in the way of the entire process... are they just not removable?
Great mechanic
Great video.
Do not forget the box of tissues to wipe up your tears, lol
Great vid! Very helpful!
Something must be wrong with my jeep bought brand new 40 thousand miles on her the e break started making noise so did rear breaks my adjuster is on to not bottom just wondering why first break job ever
Awesome video! Thank you soooo much!
rear long spring is not needed. makes it a lot easier.
I wonder if it would be easier to remove the axle ? I spent nearly 2 hours busting my knuckles working around the axle flange and barely got anywhere.
Did the cameraman have a few beers for lunch? Lol
It was great thanks so much just did it,only thing did not understand was no adjustment with adjusters,so I assumed it meant with brand new shoes you just have it as you said at lowest point,thanks great video. Who da thunk a girl could be so good at auto mechanics,I did see My Cousin Vinny :)
+Joe blough Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great video, very descriptive.
+Jon Carlin Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Very good indeed.
But...where’s the tutorial on adjustment of the parking brake?
18:00 she says you'll need to adjust the wheel to center the shoes. That's the adjustment. Should rotate the wheel until the Jeep won't move between 4-8 clicks on the ebrake handle while in D or R
I was guessing with brand new shoes its just at lowest point?
Doing this job right now and I also have a little spider hanging out
