Playtime Comments : [ChrisFix] How to Change Drum Brakes (In-depth, ultimate guide)

da********:

Good video, but why did you put put the old springs back on at 23:40 when you had bought new ones?

Jo**********:

@ 27:22 y I u said to check everything.... your master cylinder piston towards the front of vehicle was not correctly aligned. While I have been a ASE and Diesel Tech for about 7 years I sent this to a gd friend who always asks how to do it even tho I showed him several times .... he finally learned cuz of this video.

an*********:

26:40 he missed the wheel cylinder piston is behind the shoe lol

Th************:

23:00 I think you forgot to put the new hardware in lol. I just noticed when you put the rusty springs back in.

Pe********:

2:15 into the first video I've found of yours that I can recall atleast.. Subscribed!

Ju********:

26:22 you disconected your piston from the pad... silently screaming inside 29:08 sigh of relief

Al***********:

Disc brakes are way easier to change

Ja********:

I tell ya Chris.. I would rather pull an engine and trans than do drum brakes... I may consider now after watching your vid.. Good vid, Thax..

Wi**:

every thing I YouTube on how to change or fix something on a car chrisfix always shows up -thanx a lot your work is great

Sa********:

though those times u were less professional, your simplicity of describing things amazes me, Chris. Love from Bangladesh .

Ch*************:

Nice. One question: If you've got that new spring kit, why are you reusing springs?

cr*********:

26.00 minutes in you missed the guide from the break cylinder right side is off. hope you caught it before driving?

Came off when you put in the strut and spring

Ni*******:

Just watched this after seeing your new videos and it is amazing to see how far you have come!

Jo******************:

Not to be a dick, but that little cable/mechanism you kept calling emergency brake is actually a self-adjustment mechanism. It pushes the adjuster screw once the drum shoe expands more than what it suppose to be, so it always self adjusts as brake shoes wears down. Cheers :)

MD*******:

!!!EXCELLENT!!! Great camera coordination, clarity, and diction - no replays necessary. Calling self-adjuster a parking brake didn't matter to me. I would've saved a lot of time if I had only watched this video first. From now on "ChrisFix" is part of all my auto repair search strings. THANK YOU! ..now, back to 77 XR7 brake job.

ra*******:

Pretty good video, probably the best drum brake vid i've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing. I now feel ready to go for the drum brake job on my car.

Da****:

You had a good idea to take a picture of the brake assembly and then print it. But back in the days when I first started, they did not have computers and printers to do so. The adjuster at the bottom that you were calling the "Emergency Brake Adjuster" is actually called a "Self - Adjuster" so every time you back up fast and stomp on the brake a few times, the self-adjuster will tighten up. Keeping your shoes snugged. That way, it would have less distant to travel when you brake. The cable and spring assembly that you put together first was your "Emergency Brake". It pushes the back shoe out to lock it in place. And the last cable you put on that looped around the horn at the top was called the "Adjusting cable" for the "Self - Adjuster". And "people" you don't have to take out the "Wheel Cylinder" just because the outside looks like crap, as long as it doesn't leak. It's still works. I have a 1990 Lincoln Town Car, and it has rear drum brakes.

Ca*:

perfect videos. thank you.

Ma*******:

Hi Chris! Although this video is a year old I'd still like to let you know that this has helped me on me restoration project for my grandpa. Thanks a ton! You're doing great work, keep it up!!

Ra****:

You bought a hardware kit but reused all the old hardware....

To******:

Thanks , very informative and detail video. Thanks again for spending your time to film this video.

He*******:

is there a reason why you didn't just replace all the hardware?

86********:

Just FYI to the readers...A brake tool is about $5-$6 dollars at Harbor Freight. Get one. You'll cuss much less and get done a lot faster.

Do one side first, that way if you need reference, you can use the other side that is untouched to know where everything goes (I'm here because I didn't and needed a reference).

cl********:

Drum brakes have "shoes", not pads....

an*********:

i hate to see old rusty parts mixed with brand new ones

sp****:

I watch this as a show

Co********:

That's the brake pad adjuster not the emergency brake

ca***********:

The best way to change the rear drums is switch them out to disc brakes. Way more costly though.


This is a great walk through.

Gi***********:

Great instructional videis keep up the good work

N*:

Just wanted to add for all you diyers; if you work on brakes on older cars, wear a breathing mask. Older system may consist of asbestos brake pads.

Ra**************:

Awesome vids, thanks Chris Fix!

Al*****:

Chris your video's are top class and help us "clueless" mech's more than you may know, my hat off to you and the work/vid's you do, fantastic man keep on, keeping on ..... many thanks.

Do**********:

great video, I enjoy watching your videos bro. have a nice day

Mu*****:

wow, this is actually a really good detailed informative video

La*********:

Best video ever. I think I'm ready to change brake shoes for the first time in my life. Thanks

ke*******:

exellent video. tanks.

Co*****************:

I find it nice to hear the baby fix voice again and why did you start wearing gloves?

Mi**********:

So my breaks were acting funny and I went in for an oil change and they said they'd look at my brakes for free. Long story short, they said I desperately needed rear breaks for my 2003 Dodge Dakota. They quoted me at $500.....went somewhere else and they quoted me $600. I was freaking out so I youtubed "How to change drum brakes" and you made it look so easy so I ended up doing them myself and I did a great job if I do say so myself. You saved me over $500 and having to eat Ramen 3 times a day for a few months and I can't thank you enough! Great job, bro.

Ma*****************:

Well we are tight on funds so giving this and one of her wheel cylinders entirely blew out thankfully right when she pulled in the driveway so giving that too a shot this weekend on my daughters 04' Neon. We are mechanically inclined so she and I should be able to handle this (I hope) fingers crossed lol. My daughter is just starting Automotive Repair Technology and has finished Car Care in high school. Will report back when done and letchya know how it goes. Love the detail you put into your videos even down to taking photos before disassembly.
