Man oh man.. there’s a reason why it takes 3-4years to qualify as a light vehicle technician. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for learning to do things but safety related items should be against the law to be tampered with or played with by unsupervised and unqualified people. At the start of the video you gave a statement to viewers that they should not attempt this as it is ‘their families lives’ they’re putting on the line. Which is partly true but if they want to put them at risk by attempting to do something they do not know anything about they can go ahead, what you failed to note was that they will not be the only vehicle on the road so it’s innocent passerbys now with their life at risk by no choice of their own. And because people have the freedom and access to so easily unknowingly make their vehicle a death trap on the roads that my parents and family use putting their life in the hands of some backyarder who thinks he knows what he is doing will keep me fighting for vehicle repairs to be regulated and only carried out by professionals who did their 4 year grind so they could proficiently and safely service and repair vehicles. And just the fact that you used nothing but a bottle jack to support the weight of the vehicle while you pulled down the rear brake assembly with your legs directly beneath the rear axle and drum assembly backing plate just shows that you really shouldn’t be carrying out repairs on a vehicle, especially to then post a video publicly with so many safety issues for others to see and assume is perfectly fine to do. I understand that you at least put the wheel under the chassis in a futile effort to ensure your safety but believe me from first hand experience its not a reliable safety measure. I know this has been a pretty negative comment thus far but I’ve been in the trade and I’ve seen what can be the aftermath of work not being done correctly and/or safely and without supervision from someone certified I feel strongly that fines etc need to be given. The same as only a qualified sparky is able to tamper and work on your houses electrics otherwise heavy fines are enforced to the person without being licensed for touching it. Same as if joe blog wired up a new wall socket in his house because he watched how to do it on TH-cam and when he switches it on there’s a short and his house burns down, not only will he be fined for doing the wiring but his insurance will void the insurance due to the cause being his fault. Look I fully support the work you’re doing and motivation you have to build your channel showing your thoughts about things and helping others with your reviews or tips etc. By all means more power to you and I really hope the channel becomes what you want it to be. But at least do things safely and use jack stands when lifting a vehicle or whatever keeps you safe when out hunting, not only for yourself but for others
Maybe even we can work something out and I can come over your way to spin some spanners with you and show you a few tricks and tips on your kun26 as it’s one of my more preferred/predominant vehicles I enjoyed countless hours on and you can give me a bit of target practice as it’s been a few years since I was behind a rifle haha
@@user-ox1oy4zb8t hi J, look I appreciate your comment and nothing you said it invalid. But people are going to do it anyway. I don't feel like you are attacking me and your comment is respected. I'd love to work with you! Please feel free to email me or message me on Facebook.
PS I have pinned your comment. I only had underrated rusty car stands. I didn't actually intend to video it, but ran into problems on the other side and couldn't find the answer so I filmed the second side.
You say you have first hand experience of of a safety issue so maybe you should stick with your own advice. My father and I have been pulling engines out and rebuilding for years as a hobby. My father drives buses however has more knowledge then any mechanical engineer. The on-site licensed bus mechanic is always asking my dads advice as he does not have the experience. Point being a piece of paper does not make you an expert knowledge does and it’s idiots like you prancing your mouth that ruin good peoples lives for your own selfish satisfaction
Brilliant video thanks for taking the time. I read that pinned comment from J... sad... People have repaired their own cars since cars were invented. I trust myself more than some of these 3-4 year "trained" mechanics who I've seen do absolutely shocking work and charge big for it too.
Yeah it's funny, I paid for a mechanic for the first time in 10 years a month ago. First time my Hilux ended up on a tow truck too... Because they forgot to tighten some hoses they didn't need to remove...
In light of all these other so called experts, I actually learnt what I needed to know in order to do the job. I am not going to critique the tools used but I am going to critique the description of the job which is complete very clear and your camera angles show everything needed to complete the task and save some money 💰💰💰💰. Well done mate
thanks for taking the time to do this video mate . I imagine it will help a lot of people out like myself where there is no option of getting a mechanic because of where they live
Thanks heaps. I should have watched it before I did the job! Got half way through and couldn't work out the spring directions and the right holes, but thanks to your video i got it sorted.
toyota service manual shows that top spring located in the wrong hole ! They had me stumped for over hour trying to put drum back on. Thanks to this video, it shows the correct hole to use.
This video is very informative , thanks a lot, i was able to replace the old original brakeshoe of my 11 yr old toyota fortuner @ km 183k, it saves me outside service fees and most importantly i learned to fix n maintain my own brakes, thanks again
I can see where J is coming from below. I was actually going to compliment you on your dedication doing the job out there in the rain. I am a qualified mechanic and am busy working on my bosses ute. I’m here because I’m having issues releasing the tab when trying to adjust the brake shoes and back them off. Thanks for the video. One thing I will say as I was busy typing and then started watching, please never use side cutters around cables to pry back a spring. Use pliers or needle nose so there isn’t a chance to severe the cable or spring.
I actually never intended to make the video, I was in a rush. I did the first side and could not remember how it came apart, so I filmed the second side, because I couldn't find it on TH-cam. Hence a few dodgy things.
Great video and thanks for the tip on the spring. As for those other comments on doing such a job, my answer is to watch the video closely, take your time and stay relaxed. Also remember to not put your foot on the brake pedal when your brake drums are removed. My experience.
Awsome vid mate didn’t want to do mine before this 2000k trip but your vid helped me through, easy shit take the old out put the new in, always nice to watch it done first keep up the good work 👌🏽
c'est un très bon exposé. J'en tire un enseignement utile pour l'entretien de mon véhicule. Bon nombre de Mécaniciens ne métrisent pas cette pratique. Merci beaucoup. Jean Paul Gwet
Cheers mate forgot the most important safety thing and thats to take a photo b4 ya start lol i forgot how one spring went and ur vid pop up first. Cheers
Thanks mate, yes I have stands but they aren't rated for the weight of the vehicle and neither are my ramps. I actually never intended to film it so I didn't even think about mentioning to use stands.
@@NoSaysJo cheers mate, I've got more to come just not enough time lol. Always looking at improving the videos to. First few to much of me talking and undoing bolts lol.
Good job but just a few things on the brake adjustment before you put the brake hub / rotor on adjust the brake shoes out so it just take you to put the hub on and adjust the last bit with the wheel on and the truck still on the jack keep turning the wheel until it just starts to lock job dun
You don't need to bleed the brakes unless you change the slave cylinder or your changing the brake fluid. To change the pads and drum there is no need to bleed.
Hello sir how about the other side of the wheel, how do u adjust the park brake on it? Since u already set the pull u want on the park brake on the other side
@@HuntShootOffroad sir wer do u put ur gear lever when changing the brake shoe? Iam on automatic transmission, should i put it on Park and release the Park brake?
Hello sir some.of my friends said that no need to adjust the drum brake manually at the back of the drum brake the thing that u rotate with the flat head screw driver, they said its has self adjuster all u need to do is just press the brake pedal many times it will self adjust and pull the park brake many times it will adjust also, is it correct? Coz ur doing different thing on ur video
Hey mate. Just did mine. Adjusted tightener nut thing until I couldn’t do any more. Handbrake feels tight in the cab but basically doesn’t hold my car on the slightest incline. Any ideas?
Apparently there is another adjustment on the lever in the car, I think you can get roo it from under the vehicle. I haven't needed to do mine. Have you adjusted them again since driving?
@@lalalulu3084 M8 thread, I think it's a M8 fine thread. It's a standard metric bolt. You can buy it at a hardware store. Mine is a "socket head cap screw" but you can use a M8 hex head. It's just what I had laying around. The Toyota is covered in M8 bolts. You can do it without the bolt as well, you can tap the outside with a mallet.
All these "Safety" minded people spouting their PC crap - Tell me, what you would do if you got a flat at the side of the road in the middle of the night in a pissing rainstorm? Obviously the wealthy would have roadside assistance, but the average guy would have to knuckle down and get the job done, no jack stands or any of that shit.
Sounds like it's either dragging or the fluid is favoring one side. Check you don't have the handbrake on too much on the RH. Other than that try some googling.
Pretty much, but make sure you have the park brake handle pulled first. Otherwise you have brakes on 24/7. Pull it about 1/2 to 2/3 on. After you have adjusted it, go back to the park brake and give it a couple of pulls, if it feels to high tighten it again.
How about the other side of the wheel how do u adjust it? Since the other side is already set and adjusted on the park brake the way u like it to be pulled
You'll have to find a manual, I don't have time to put in writing. Just; watch, pause, do. Watch pause do. Watch, pause, do. That's what I do when it's in another language.

Very well put together video mate, only thing I'd say is invest in some jack stands 👍

You don't need to bleed the brakes unless you change the slave cylinder or your changing the brake fluid. To change the pads and drum there is no need to bleed.

Glad I could help lol!
Thank you share clip
No worries
Good video mate , but what about supporting the axle on a stand , very important , looks very wobbly on the hyd jack you used
100% correct mate, hence the rim under the chassis for the fail safe.
Toyota jack is not hydraulic, it is a screw jack so will not fail due to seals, however an axle stand is a good idea!
Thanks
No worries!
Thanx sir
No worries

Please keep me your helpers,
Thanks.
Thank you sir💪
have you ever had a 4x4 issue wereby the 4x4 doesnt engage, i have that problem with my toyota hilux 2.5 d4d
