One of the best Honda drum brake rebuild videos of all I've seen. You show lots of great well thought out tricks/methods for disassembly and assembly and adjusting, your years of experience and knowledge shows and matters. Very helpful video, thank you.
+alan connelly Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
Changed my 99 CRV shoes ... new retaining springs are no joke to get back in you made it look so easy I had to get my neighbors help to hold the nail while I jammed in the retaining spring
This video helped me change replace my brake shoes. Helped tremendously with which order to reassemble everything in that really helped ALOT.
Thank you for making and uploading this. Very helpful thank you again.
very confusing
Thank you for the info on the big spring...I was going nuts and getting ready to have it towed to the local garage....all because the spring I replaced was backward and I couldn't get it hooked. You stressed this point and I thank you!
Frank M Very happy it helped. Thanks for watching my video.
Clear&concise, wish I'd seen it before struggling until 10 p.m. every time i pulled the spring the shoe detached the rubber bits and leaked fluid! Had to hold both shoes with left hand and I levered the spring in with a screwdriver pushing off the central hub. Easier! I didnt know about the adjustment and pedal was going all the way down for a stop. But I topped up with dot 3 and pumped the brake in reverse which auto adjusted them!! (After much googling) lol
New springs etc installed but KEEP old ones in case for next time people! Thanks, great video and not rushed like some!
I last changed the shoes on my CR-V about six years and I'd forgotten how to do it. It's been losing a lot of brake fluid lately; I found that one of the wheel cylinders was badly blown. I decided to replace both wheel cylinders and all the shoes while I was at it. Thanks for the tips to make the replacement go faster.
+hoopfan71 Good idea replacing both wheel cylinders.
+jimthecarguy how are the wheel cylinders attached? I think mine need replaced (unless it's common for one of the shoes to be much more worn than the other?)
+Justin Grubbs The wheel cylinder is held on with 2 8 mm screw in the back.Before you replace the wheel cylinder you should check to make sure the parking brake is fully releasing and the the back in plate is lucubrated so that the sure slid without binding.If you need further advice let me know.Jim
+jimthecarguy Thank you very much Jim!
Thanks, Jim. It makes life so much easier when you can watch a real pro do the job.
Great tutorial. It helps to take a few of pics before and during removal of the hardware. Also, there's usually a shop that will turn your drums if needed and they shouldn't charge too much.
Cheers
i watched this several times while i was trying to put on the main return spring on the top side of the shoes. What i ended up doing was buying a pair of the longest handle cuttin pliers I could find. THen, you may have to rotate the rear axle to get the most leverage you can to get that spring in its hole. I had tried vice grips, long nose, short handled cut pliers. none worked. you need long handled ones and use the axle as leverage. This is hands down the hardest return spring I have ever had to put on and i've done alot of brakes over the years in my driveway. good luck.
norm rostocki Hi Norm Yes putting that spring on can be a real pain in the a_s.Good job.Jim
Hmm, needle-nose vise grips worked fine for me. I just made sure to fully close the adjuster.
Great video Jim! Thank you so much! I had been fighting with this shoe replacement for over an hour and it won round one...now I feel I win win round two and the match.
Yes you can do it.if you need any advice let me know
Good video. I'll be doing this in a few weeks when its not 95 degrees in the garage like it is right now. Don't forget your vise grips on the brake line when you finish assembling.
hivoltguy1 Good luck .Ya it can be a ruff in the heat.If you need any advice let me know.
Thanks for posting this. I hate dealing with drum brakes, so this was very helpful.
By far the best and most informative video on crv drum brakes! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Jeez I've fighting with mine. Seems so easy. I think my spring was backwards ugh. What a day!
Well done. That's my next project this weekend. Drum brakes on 2000 Honda CRV. You explained it well in detail. Thanks.
Gershon Quidayan Thank you for your feedback and for watching.Let me know if you need any other advice.Jim
You made it look so easy. The big spring is a huge pain in the ass!
Thats for sure.Thank you for watching
Only videos I've ever watched with my brightness maxed out the whole time lol.
That video was with my old camera.
You saved from a huge headache, thank you!
I figured out how to get that damned spring into the hole. A Rube Goldberg but it works. Hold the brake pads together by tightening zip ties around them. Then take a long screwdriver and grind down the "---" tip so it is curved into a "u". Then instead of using the cutting pliers, push against the hook of the spring with your curved screwdriver. It pops right in!
The removal of that clip by the E brake can be a huge pita. Be prepared and have a spare ready, they usually come in a low cost drum brake kit.
A good audio description of the process, :-C . from 4:00 - +6:00 there is no clear view of what was done, and what is shown is out of focus. This is a good teacher who needs a tech TA.
Jim, you seem to prefer to use the cutting pliers to grip the springs. Aren't you afraid of putting too much pressure when squeezing them that it will actually cut, or at least weaken the spring?
Thanks a lot for the great info. I took about hr to do one side, but the second one took me only 10m. Thank you sir.
Thank you for the post. Helped me out big time!
Oh man. This job was a total pain in the hind parts. Jim must eat his wheaties and his spinach. It took me like 2hrs to figure out how to get that stupid main spring back on. I’ve been working on my own and others’ cars for over 25yrs and this was one of the most frustrating things I’ve done.
A word to the wise: the shoes from autozone are defective. The parking brake pin hole isn’t large enough, which is a disheartening discovery when you have it all pulled apart.
Also: the wheel cylinder will vomit out its contents. Not sure if clamping off the brake lines is a good idea?
I was glad to see this video, but Jim makes it look easy! Definitely wear eye protection. If I were to do this again, I’ll bet it would take me 30min per side, but it’s a total pain. It does make you realize how heavenly disc brakes are by comparison.
How did you end up getting the big spring back on?
@@seanross1589 I think I used a decent sized pair of wire cutters to push it back on. Right after this, I bought a brake drum tool kit so I wouldn’t have to do that again, but haven’t had occasion to test it out. Good luck!
@@toastrecon Thanks for the input! I also had a brake drum tool kit, but it was useless for these CR-V brakes (I got it from harbor freight) I think it is more for American cars. I ended up buying some special pliers I made a PSA on the main comment thread for anyone interested.
Thank you very much Jim, it made this job a whole lot easier.
Thanks for watching
Haven't done drum brakes in a while and this was a great refresher. Thanks for taking the time to post this vid. It was very helpful!
Thank you for your feedback and for watching
Thank you, your video gave me the info I needed to do this repair on my own.
+JsD junior Great I'm happy to help.Let me know how you do.
I am doing this on the GFs honda and man I am glad I drive German cars. The last time i did this was for my old 64 Pontiac .
+Jake Wright Good luck .If you need any other info let me know. Wow 64 Pontiac.
Thank you, ya i was young and it was my grandfather's car originally. It was a cool in high school in 1994. I look back and the whole car is so simple compared to my 2001 Benz. I will buzz you if the brakes give me hassle
+Jake Wright Ya it was great to work on the older cars
what exactly where you adjusting with the flat head at the end?
Jim, Thanks for all your help! Your the best
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
Calvin C.Thanks Jim's helpful video. Off the topic, once you master all those DIY skills. You probably won't be a welcome customer anymore bec all you need fm the shop is just annual inspection. (I ran into exactly this kind problem.) The owner ask me not to go there do my inspection any more bec he think I giving my business to other shops.
+Calvin C. Thank you for your input
Thanks sir. That was easy and great. Why does my hand break keep on loosening?
Glad it helped
NEVER crimp off brake lines.
Your an idiot
mrdauntless *you’re a fucking idiot sir
He crimped the hose, not the line.
Very detailed
Folks this is a job only for on a lift. I have been at it for 23 hours on the one wheel
No shit. At least you can put you body weight in while pulling down on the large spring. It's virtually impossible doing it on the ground.
I never thought to crimp off brake hose. Would have saved alot of mess, stress and brake cleaner!
How to replace the alternator on a 98 honda cr-v AWD
Jim you’re good.
Excellent video
Hello hows it going. What should the wheel torque ok 97 crv
Done a set of shoes on a 2008 crv and the handbrake creaks every time you get out everything seems to be adjusted correctly have you come across this atall thanks
Hi Jim nice video. Did as you showed on video but I can't get the big spring back on for some reason it keeps pushing the rubber ends off the wheel cylinder because of so much pressure it puts when you pull down. Any suggestions. Thanks
Wow! Thank You..
I had someone change my front and rear brake pads and they did something wrong bc my car brakes don't brake at all! I need serious help.bc this can be dangerously
Fatal.everthing you showed on this video wasn't really correctly done on my side of the world.🙄🤔 And if it was, then they need to get rid of the air bubbles..my breaks sink all the way and they don't seem to tighten up..
Somebody, please HELP.🥴
so i adjusted the rear brake and when i pull the ebrake it respond good and stops my car but after driving it afew days i notice when i pull the ebrake it does not respond as good and does no stop my car now so any help??
Jim, What do you use to resurface the drums. If you were going to just replace the shoes and not resurface the drums, how would you adjust the star adjuster?
Very good teaching skills, I wish someone could help you with camera
Can you please write here all tools I will need to do this job?
Please excuse my ignorance. When replacing the drum brakes (on this cr-v model for instance), do both of the rear tires need to be in the air or can they be done like front brakes one at a time? Thanks for your kind reply.
That is a very good question.I do a live stream on jimthecarguy Sunday night at 7:00 PM .I will talk about this .I hope you can stop by
Hi Jim, Thank you for the video, very helpful.
My wife's honda right rear vibrates at high speed, also when parked, smell burning tire rubber. Took it to a mechanic and said the right brake shoe is hanging up because the brake cable will not release. They want quite a bit of money for this job. Would this inability to release be in the drum? - or would it be farther upstream? I know you dont know for certain, but I never had a car where the cable would not release the brake shoe, and not sure probability wise, where the problem would reside. Any suggestions would really help! Thanks!
Actually not uncommon for parking brake cables to rust and seize. This happens most to people that never use their parking brakes until it needs to be applied during a state inspection for example, or someone else has driven the vehicle and normally uses their parking brake and might have applied yours. There is a reason that this "parking" brake is also called the "emergency" brake. If your hydraulic brake system were to fail, you would be able to stop your vehicle by applying the "emergency" brakes....providing they were in working condition. If you love your wife, get her brakes fixed before a fire starts at highway speeds or she actually needs to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. Happy wife, happy life. Get 'er done.
You may need to renew your videos, the image quality isn't very good for the detail. But your explanation is just very good. I don't understand how somebody could put dumbs down for your video.
Hi your video is very well done, have you done a video on replacing steering rack Honda CRV 2001, not sure if makes any difference but I live in Australia we left hand drive.Thanks
Looks like i'll do the front, and you'll be doing the back.
+walter parker No problem
Your video was a great help, however I am only batting .500 one side is ok, the other the drum drags a great deal.
I checked the springs and the star wheel is completely closed, they appear to be ok and compare with the other side, any suggestions would be appreciated
Check to see if the adjuster is in correctly .Check my video between 9:00-10:00 to see if it correct.Keep me posted.
+jimthecarguy I check that and it is good. I believe one of the pistons in wheel cylinder is stuck. it would not push back into the wheel cylinder at all unlike the other ones
OK if you need any further help let me know.
well you skip how to get the drum off. The star wheel doesn't even line up with the opening so you can loosen the shoes before you try to pull the drum off.
At 15:20, you attach the large orange spring that wraps around the star adjuster with very little difficulty. I cannot for the life of me get that spring hook to attach. I see you're pushing the brake pad towards the spring and I'm doing that as well. It's as if the hook just isn't long enough. The spring is on the star adjuster correctly. Any advice?
Accidentally pushed the rubber seal off of the piston when putting the spring back on and lost a little fluid and may have introduced air to the line. Should I bleed the line to be safe?
If the wheel cylinder is leaking fluid you should replace it with a new one and then bleed the system.
How do you get in to adjust the star so the drum comes off? Everyone skips that part. And thats the only hard part.
Jasom Kovac take ebrake off.
@@indybill4 ,duh,yeah. And after that?
are the cables that go into the back of the drum removable?
i'm trying replace the rear left trailing arm, it got bent up real bad from a swerve into a curb and now my wheel has a huge 20 degree positive camber and toed to the right 10 degrees or so, it seems the bends all happend around the bearing assembly. i figure it would be easier to take out the cables and leave the axle in for it's other end to be removed from the transfer case. or should i just try to remove the axle and leave the drum on the trailing arm? i'm pretty sure i need a new bearing anyway.
Yes the is a clip that you will need to push in to remove the cable.The clip is on the inside.
Impressive 💪
What's the point of crimping off the brake line?? The brake line goes to the caliper NOT the parking brake.
Could u do a video on hand brakes cable replacement rd1 CRV plz
As soon as I get one in the shop I will. Thank you for watching.
I never heard of a past use the grease
Doesnt need to bleed?
Amazing
You're not showing us the only part that anyone would have ever had to go searching for tips about: how did you get that top spring back on without the adjuster falling out of place?
Mike Frank At exactly 15:20 I show how to put the top spring back on without the adjuster falling out.
What size bolt do you need to remove the drum if they are rust welded?
8mm fine thread
thanks for your great vidieo and marry christmass
+pedro rodriguez Thank you for you feedback and for watching.Merry Christmas.
Jim one of the spark plugs on my honda crv is really hard to take off any way i can remove it without damaging anything???
+Juan Vallejo Be very careful you don't want to snap the plug or strip it out.Try using some spray lube and working the plug back and forth VERY EASY.Let me know how you do.
Drum brakes are a pain in the ass. Do a video on converting to disk brakes.
Jim. I have a honda crv and it only have 4 studs, on the wheel hub.. I just want to know whats the difference between the two and is it better to have more studs.. Cheers
+Easy Fix Did one of the stud brake off?Or did it come like that from the factory
+jimthecarguy No it came like that from the factory. But i just want to know if it makes any difference between 4 and 5 stud hubs?
+Easy Fix Good question.No it should make no difference.
I assume that this is a MK1 CRV. The parking brakes on the MK2 do not have a hydraulic cylinder - they are cable!
thanks ! i have to do this today or tomorrow ! sold my 1999 k1500 to pick up a crv i like it cost nothing for gas lollll
PMGaming101 I know what you mean .I sold my Dodge Durango and got a CRV. That cut my gas bill in half.:)
yess hahaha love that little truck ! everything whet well on the drums just one thing got me stuck for 10mins . the adjuster on the hand break side i was siding it in backwards! but there is a cut out in it and that goes on the outside !!!
Great job
i just finished replacing break shoes and new drums i forgot to adjust it at the end, when i tried to use thehand break i heard something cracked also i stepped on the breaks and it feels like i don't have breaks any help? please
You will need to take off the drums and see if you left anything off especially near the wheel cylinders.Look it over very carefully.If you take a picture of what it looks like and send it to me I will try to help.Let me know
jimthecarguy thank you for taking your time to reply back. I will do that i really enjoy your videos you give me the confidence i need to work on my own car! May God bless you and your family my friend
Having a hell of a time with the big red spring...I get close and the star wheel flips pulling what’s left of my hair out...KMN. Help
Thank you for stopping by the shop
You are not alone I am having a bitch of a time and still can not get it
hey jim are the new honda crv have disc break or shoe let me know have you work on any yet thanks
+pedro rodriguez The new Honda Crv has disc brakes all the way around.Yes I have worked on them before.They are very good vesicles.I own 2 Honda CRV myself.
22 dec 2019 10:8 am est:thanks
Awesome video, but Camera man was missing for a better angle at those small parts.
4.7/5
I am having a hello a time getting the main spring back in, any movement moves the adjuster out of possition and that spring needs to travel a inch or so to reach the hole. Any help would go a long way here. Please
Having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?
@@seanross1589 muscled it into place with a good set on needle nose pliers
@@paulrichardson7905 Thanks for the input! I just made a PSA on the main comment thread for anyone interested.
i notice you stopped because i suspect that thing was not in place and you had to spend an extr half hour
That was hell of a time
Can do disc brakes in the dark with my eyes closed but these drum brakes are a right pain in the ass, I will pay my mechanic to do this shitty job.
what kind of brake grease do you use?
+Joshua Jager It is a synthetic brake and caliper grease.
can you use silicone paste?
I never heard of synthetic paste.Use the grease.
thanks for your help, it was a Pita. i went to see if i could get a drums turned and they said they were Not serviceable. also on a side i ended up getting a leak and having to bleed them after i was done.
You should never pinch off thoses brakes hoses!!
I saw no reason to do that either in this case. I still don't know why he he did it unless he wants the customer to come back to have them replaced in the future, sooner than later.
👍👍
Get an assistant to point the camera at what you’re doing. We don’t care what the back of your hand looks like.
Camera is too far away,,, Not enough detail

Where is your garage Jim
+Orlando Menezes My shop is in Bayonne N.J. were are you from?

poor light, see shit
You can't see half of what you are doing because your hands cover up what you're doing. Or the camera man is videoing too low
