How to adjust drum brakes

-  Quick and easy way to adjust your drum brakes. If you have a different philosophy, let me know in the comment section
1)you want to adjust the shoes outward as much as possible as to make contact with the drums
2) then you want to retract the shoes 3 to 4 clicks and test fit the drums again. 
Repeat the process until you’re satisfied with the contact point
There's a small hole behind the drum that access the adjuster with a pic screwdriver works pretty good if u don't want to completely take them apart
I was about to say. How in the Jesus am I gonna do that😂

I’ve tried to find the dial adjuster twice..⁉️
I’ll try that rear drum adjustment access, anywayz I’ve ~ 👍➕🔔✅📍🦘

Not all cars have this
Adjust the star adjuster with a brake spoon thru the hole in the back plate or do a series of hard stop in reverse if applicable.
1) slacken handbrake
2) adjust both drums until just dragging , then back off one complete turn each time
3) drums back on then press brake pedal 10 times
4) adjust hand brake cable to 5 clicks to lock the rear wheels.
I thank you , peace and love ❤
They're self adjusting, you can literally just pump the brakes a bunch till its tight. They're designed to automatically adjust outward to account for pad wear
That’s how I done it for years 😂
I do the same but i clean the shows with brake clean then i out drum wnd the adjsut the starwheek adjsuter u til i cant rotate drum freely, then i back off 5 clicks and spin drum and it should stop on its own after half or full turn. Thats how rhey showed me in class
That's awesome! I've noticed that backing off 3 clicks works on my cars but I'm sure that all depends on the run outs on brake components. It's kinda like "season to taste" so adjust until you like the braking point.
Can't believe it but I was able to understand what you typed!😂
What’s the best way to loosen up the e brake cable that’s stuck without tearing everything down
where is it stuck?
@@thecarchak Going towards the back brake drum the car is a RWD
What kind of car?
@@thecarchak 78 Buick Electra 225
I'm gonna try this technique. Huh. Just noticed the drums on that car look similar to the ones on my xb.
Self adjusted, backup while pumping the brake pedal
that has never really worked for me, maybe I'm not reversing fast enough???
@thecarchak there's a spring at the bottom the runs parallel to the adj, usually get installed 180 off, not allowing it to self adj
What happens if the adjust screw keeps un adjusting like it goes back to closed ?!? I have to keep adjusting it every day almost shit annoying af other side stays the same every time
I say it’s time to replace it
Hey do you happen to know if when installing new shoes the turns for adjusting are the same on each axle or for example right wheel adjust with 4 turns and left wheel with 2 turns?
No, it should be the same amount unless the shoes are wearing unevenly. back the adjuster all the way in (fully retracted) then put the rotor on. Then expand the adjuster out until it touches the inner walls of the rotor, at this point you should not be able to spin the rotor (make sure both wheels are off the ground if you're working on a rear wheel drive car). Now back the adjuster about 3 turns/click and should should be able to spin the rotor again.
same amount on both sides always
pretty sure their self adjusting when you have your foot on brake while moving in reverse
I heard this before does it really work
@@darkfireball92yes
Why does that occur in reverse and not forwards?
@@study-tesh9542 think it has to do with the shape of the adjuster not positive about that but I'll look into it. google search would probably explain it better
@@study-tesh9542 because forward loosens it
Why take the drum cover off theirs a hole in the back for you to make adjustments on
Took it off to inspect the shoes. Thought I actually had to replace the shoes so that’s why I made the video.
My rear breaks were making rattling sounds I went and got them adjusted and it went away but is slowly coming back, could this be a bigger issue or should I get them adjusted again?
What kind of car? what did they adjust?
@@thecarchak2002 Honda civic. All they told me was my breaks needed to be adjusted I assume this is what they did. How often does this typically need to be done? Or could it be a bigger issue? Thanks for any advice!
Are you gonna change those they look gone
I usually like mine well done but yes I changed those.
I’m having trouble taking off the metal piece connecting the shoe to the e brake cable
CHeck this out. ruclips.net/video/89PV3N3hIWs/видео.htmlsi=vCU6yfqDfjKgnARA
I think you need new shoes 😂
Nah not yet 😂
There a tool for that
you mean the starwheel adjuster spoon?
Hmm interesting I’ve seen online 10-12 clicks.
I don't think that would even catch if you applied the parking/emergency brake. have you tried 12 clicks?
Be sure to apply vegetable oil to the inside of your drums.
EVOO is healthier.
Can the old drums still make the rear brakes squeal after replacing the brakes
You replaced the shoes but reused the drums?
@@thecarchak yes
@@fromaboy2man279should have replaced drum too. The old shoes will make a different wear pattern then the new ones
Finally just redid the whole process over with new brakes and rotors. Wheel cylinder as well. Thanks for the reply
Just an FYI for all you dump mechanic workshop owners lol.
At my workshop we don't resurface brakes disc Rotors wanna know why mate?
Because one they're a big waste of time and takes too much time to lath the surface I'm talking about hours and that's your car hoist that you're wasting for a bigger job that actually makes you money mate.
Why pay $50 to resurface a fked up disc Rotors when i can buy a cheap brand new one for $60 and put it on take the customers money and they can be on their way so i can start working on the next car waiting in line mate ain't nobody got time for that waiting 2 hours to resurface and Lath Machine a Disc Rotors lmao buy that time i would have serviced 5 cars already and made more money than a $50 dollars 2 hours resurface jobs man you people & your managers don't know how to run a proper buisness buddy time is money 🤦♂️🙄
Well *mate* over here in the US, many automotive repair shops have moved away from turning disc rotors and drum rotors because for 1 it's a liability thing and 2 it takes too much time, so yeah we already have the "time is money" figured out. Lmao. We've had it figured out for 260 years since we are the biggest country that runs and is built off of capitalism. Lmao. Man's forgetting that we separated from Great Britain and we took that "time is money" concept along with us to this great continent when we got fed up with King George III and his fvcking tyranny called "Royalty" Lmao. That and we were tired of drinking your tea and getting crooked teeth. Lmao.😂🙄🤦♂️
