I have a slight problem, I have all the tools necessary to do the job except for the large cable tie. Can I perform this job without using the cable tie on my head?
I have a set of different size cable ties. What width tie should I use and what torque should it be tightened to? Also cheers mate very helpful guide with no random anecdotes or vehicle specific instructions.
Great video dude, didn't go too good the first time for me.then i figured out why,so i went to the store and bought the cable tie for my head, and it was so easy the 2nd time around. didn't get the same colour though,but a green one worked fine. thanks dude !!
Anyone still here? Great video but I have a question, when you adjusted it, why would you want a drag, where it sounds like the breaks are rubbing (too close) to the drum?
Why would you want to disable an anti-head-bumping device? I wear mine everywhere. I like it so much better than than the football helmet I used to wear.
The ZIP tie on the head is like the string mom would tie to your finger to help you remember to buy milk from the market you usually past by on your bike every day. But I would forget to buy the milk (NOT) in favor of a Mounds bar and an Ice Cream sandwich! Mom would ask 'Did you get the milk?" And as I always was quick to think on my feet I'd say, "Gee mom. That finger on which you tied the string was the 'You get what makes you happy sweetheart!" finger!!!!" …..Ah.....We had StarLac (powered milk) that night!!! Thanks mom!!!!!
On my car when I pull the hand brake all the way up the car still moves. Even with the handle up I can push it forward and backwards. Are my rear brakes out of adjustment or are they worn. Also when driving and I hit the brake does that also mean that the rear brakes aren't working if they are out of adjustment?
I didn't have a large cable tie so I put a bunch of small ones together, worked perfect. But for real, thank you. I have been worried about how tight my shoes should be for a while, watching this helped me dial them in
Awesome video Matt! Spent the entire day changing the shoes and drums but was wondering about the initial adjustment. I never noticed the little rubber plug. Everything you explain about the Jeep has helped me greatly over the last several years. Thanks for your efforts.
Just reading the comments and thought maybe in the video at some point ya should have mensioned that ya should only do this if you know the car has good shoes. I can see some diy dude doing this to the point he has gone down to metal on the shoes lol
If your adjuster isn't functioning, keeping it's threads absolutely positively spotless may be all you need to resolve it. On Jeeps the action required is cycling pressure on either shoe i.e. forward and reverse movement with hard braking (not the parking brake, which only spreads the bottom of the shoes) should ratchet the adjuster, assuming it's been set as shown here. You'll hear the faint clicking. I always just adjust them manually every now and then though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit - according to Chilton's guide: _"Drive the vehicle forward and make one forward stop followed by a reverse stop. Repeat the procedure 8-10 times to equalize adjustment between the two sides. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop each time. Rolling stops will not activate the self-adjuster mechanism."_
I know this is old but if you could comment or someone comment. I redid my entire drum brake assembly cause it needed to be done. What a pain in the ass but I got it all back together and checked my work and seems okay. Took the car for a ride and man the brake pedal felt soft too me it felt like only the front brakes where braking. And then I found my handbrake didn’t even hold the car. So do I just have to adjust them more. Plus the brake pedal kept making suction sound and never really seemed to be getting hard just like have pressure is this also a result of the drum brakes need to be adjusted more.
Thank you for your useful video. Your TH-cam video very informative about adjusting brake drum. May God bless. Again, you're the hero..! Thank you, Sir...!
where do you want the wheale to be at for movement when adjusting, I have mine at a little drag because my thinking was not to wear down the pads to much so the go half around then stop
Im trying to figure out adjusting my 68 chevy drum brakes and ive made it worse. For some reason, you barely apply pressure to the pedal and it sticks and once it gives it locks the brakes down.
I’m having an issue. I replaced my drum brakes in the wheel cylinder all the springs. The adjusters looks good but the larger drum brake pad on my driver side is rubbing on the drum and it’s getting hot and I can smell the brake pad and I can feel heat coming from the rim and I don’t know what the problem is.
Thanks for the tutorial. I adjusted mine a few clicks tighter before leaving on a trip. 500km in I smelled burning at the wheel and it was really hot. Adjusted it back about 25 clicks and it still makes a sound as though the shoe is touching slightly but the heat is gone. Not sure if I should replace this one now or if it's likely ok? And if I need to adjust both sides equally or this is ok
Properly adjusted brake shoes do not rub on drums... which is impossible as shown in this video without the axle/hub installed to hold the drum perfectly centered. With the drum off, turn the adjuster wheel until the drum will not fit over the shoes, and then back it off a little at a time until the drum can go on and rotate without rubbing on the shoes. The purpose of self adjusting systems is to compensate for shoes wearing down which is accomplished with abrupt stops while backing up, or maybe in some systems by applying the park/emergency brake. Removing a drum that has been in service often requires reducing the adjustment through the slot in the back so it's wise to teach yourself how to do that with the drum removed which as described in the video is best done with one tool to turn the wheel while another tool is holding the blade away from the wheel. Screw drivers work, but there are tools made for adjusting that work better. Usually (if not always) there are right hand thread adjusters on one side of the vehicle and left hand on the other and they should be installed cleaned and lubricated.
Wow, you posted this 10 years ago. Did you ever get the zip tie tightened up? I'm guessing that your brain increased in size and snugged it up really nicely.
Hate when I do drum brakes and I adjust it to have some drag like in the video and I take it for a long test drive and everything is good. Then when the customer takes it and leaves, they come back with the rear brakes locking up and I have to bring it in and loosen it up a bit.
Changed front brakes calipers and pads .buster and master cylinder.now I cant get pedal to stiffen up .do the drum brakes need to b adjusted to get brakes working agean
my vehicle has teeth facing only one way on the self adjuster so I can't tighten it to move the shoes inward more and I'm not sure how to do it without completely taking it apart
you know if it wernt for you , i found your program years ago, i would not have been able to see the yellow samurai restore. and all that other advice.
THE ZIP TIE ON THE HEAD IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE "STRING MOM WOULD TIE TO YOUR FINGER SO YOU WOULDN'T FORGET TO BUY MILK WHEN YOU RIDE YOUR BIKE PAST THE MARKET!" .IT HELPS YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGOT! OR ...FORGET WHAT YOU WERE TO REMEMBER. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ?DId I say that??? Anyhoo...??Where the heck did I put my head zip tie???! I FOROT TO REMEMBER!!
If your brakes are adjusted properly look above the rear driveshaft. There is a but on a long rod that connects the e-brake lines to the handle, taker a socket and ratchet and screw the nut in till the e-brake tightens up. This is for an XJ if that is what you were asking for.
you just solved the mystery of the clips left over in my brake parts kit. Covers for those little slots, the van didn't have them when I started. Googling "little black clip in brake parts" didn't help much
I have a 2015 F150 that's had squeal when I back up every morning and even after use later in the day. I put new pads in the rear and it's still there. Seems like maybe the e brake shoes are causing it but I don't understand why when I back up because that should be the pads pushing to stop not the shoes. Unless the pressure causes movement against the shoes somehow. I feel like a lot of f150's had this issue. Anyone got more ideas? Thinking to adjust the brake shoes/loosen them like in this video a bit to see if it stops.
Thank you SO much. I've had my car in the air for almost a week because I accidentally started a brake job with my parking brake on. I had no idea how to loosen it enough to get rotors on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My 2016 subaru crosstrek has a drum breaks inside the disk as parking brake, when I lift the hand break, the car has an inch to move forward and backward but it emmets a click from both sides, is it some defect?
Great video! Thank you so much for mentioning that the self adjuster is supposed to work in reverse. I did a little more research and the XJ adjusts when you brake HARD in reverse, which never happens. I went out and did it 6 times in my driveway and I went from no rear brakes at all to perfect without having to lift a tool!
On my daughters 2000 XJ the brakes where fine then all of a sudden she had no braking pulling and brake pedal to the floor into a parking spot. Would out of adjust drums cause that? I replaced the master cylinder which did seem to be leaking internally, and bled the brakes but same issue.
Thabks for the top and so if I want to loosen my brake so I dont hear rubbing I loosen the other way right? Or is it ok to leave it like that to have a slight rubbing sounds because my opposite wheel as practically no rubbing
On mine, the self adjuster is on the top beneath the wheel cylinder, there is no slot to reach a screwdriver in and adjust it with the drum assembled. If I leave enough room for the drum to fit over there is too much play and the pedal is squishy, if I adjust it tighter then there isn't enough clearance due to a slight "lip" worn into the edge of the drum. It's a Buick LeSabre and if I can't find a way of adjusting these properly I'm thinking of turning the lip off of the drums but I'm nervous about turning these on the off chance that I'll damage them, especially since I already exceeded my repair budget and dug into my two week grocery budget to make these repairs.
Sir my car make squeaking noise from rear wheels when brake is applied. This happens only when the car is sitting over 7 hours of time. The sound goes away after repeated used of the brake pedal like 4 times or less. And, no issues with braking while driving!!! During parking time for over 7 hours gear is engage, hand brake too. The moment the car is took out and brake is pressed, such irritating noise comes from the rear. There are no physical worn on brake parts including the brake shoe.
Got a question for you ! I have an expensive air horn system year old stop blowing compressor fills up when air is released , fuse is good air horn is connected to original car horn which stills blows , how do I run a power line to bypass system just to check if horns went bad or its a problem in the electric system if you can make a video on that showing direct line to test horns would be great
Great video ! Thanks! I have a question - are the adjuster screws designated as right side /left side? It doesn't look like they can be put on the wrong way. A guy is telling me that the adjusters on my 1990 Blazer are on the wrong side of each wheel. My adjusters look just like yours on this video . I told the guy I think mine are on there the right way. ? Help!
My brakes were so rusted, the star wheel was seized. And I don't believe they were working at all. I decided to replace everything. The shoes, star wheel, springs and all of the other hardware. Also replacing the wheel cylinders too. I've never seen brakes so rusted before. Jeep must of been sitting for a very long time before I bought it. Thanks for the great video!
Where do i buy the head zip tie? Thats looks essential
FROM HIS WEB SITE!!
You must belong to the Zip Tie Indian tribe...
Ah yes that's a fine item
First time here and I'm like, is that a zip tie on his head 🤔😆
Make sure it's really tight on your head, trust me you do not want it loose enough to accidentally fall down to your neck.
I have a slight problem, I have all the tools necessary to do the job except for the large cable tie. Can I perform this job without using the cable tie on my head?
The Headless Horseman No, I think you'll need the cable tie!
+BleepinJeep I have been using a black tie, and I think that's why my rear brakes always acted funny
I don't have the cable tie either!!! AAHHHH!!
I didnt even notice that... my word thats why I can never do anything correctly.
I have a set of different size cable ties. What width tie should I use and what torque should it be tightened to? Also cheers mate very helpful guide with no random anecdotes or vehicle specific instructions.
My forehead is turning purple. Thanks for the video.
Great video dude, didn't go too good the first time for me.then i figured out why,so i went to the store and bought the cable tie for my head, and it was so easy the 2nd time around. didn't get the same colour though,but a green one worked fine. thanks dude !!
🤣
Thanks for the video, you're the only one on the internet who could pull off having a zip tie around your head without it looking out of place.
Glad I could help
I'm not the only one who noticed his dang tie wrap
If you can’t adjust your brakes you can always lower the zip tie around your neck and pull
😂😂bro not helping
Anyone still here? Great video but I have a question, when you adjusted it, why would you want a drag, where it sounds like the breaks are rubbing (too close) to the drum?
Freakin' GREAT video man! Never knew adjusting drum brakes was so simple until now. Going to try this on my 1993 ZJ.
Me 0:00: "Who's this fool with a zip tie on his head?!"
Me 0:30: "Everybody shut up, I'm learning!!"
Do I need a big zip tie around my head for this procedure?
sure..😂
yep
It's like cat whiskers. It prevents head bumps.
I tried it...worked like a charm! Now where is the video for removing the zip tie?
Why would you want to disable an anti-head-bumping device? I wear mine everywhere. I like it so much better than than the football helmet I used to wear.
Start of video is 3 min
I feel like pulling that zip tie reallllllly fucking tight 🤫🤯
The ZIP tie on the head is like the string mom would tie to your finger to help you remember to buy milk from the market you usually past by on your bike every day.

I ain't believing he pulled a rear axel just to make this video!!!! That is commitment!!!
he must have been replacing axle seals you dont pull axles to adj brakes ..😉
Zip tie seems to be doing its job, you spoke clear and concisely.

the first few seconds I thought you had on a white bandana on your head I was about to say Thug Life😂😂😂😂
I dont even know why i watch other channels. I always come back to your vids. You always have Everything i need to know.
The only video that tells u which direction to tighten or loosen the drum brakes. Thank u.
Excellent video. Told me everything I needed to know to loosen my brakes. I didn't see another video that clearly explained this. Thanks Friend!
Can you explain why you want a slight drag with brake pedal released?
They won't do anything at all if they're any looser than that.
Just replaced all the hardware, brake shoes and drum. Need to adjust and this video is just what I needed. Thanks!
lol u should see my self adjuster....looks ancient with rust
bleepinjeep yea im def getting some new ones they have no threads lol say the rubber plugs been missin for while
Do.u have to have the e brake on while u adjuste them
Video helped big-time
Fantastic video. I showed this one as part of a virtual lesson for my Automotive students.
is the zip tie holding holding your hair on?
enjoyed the show
Smash head against wall., thats how you adjust breaks.
Excellent explanation...thank you
You are welcome!
I know this is old but if you could comment or someone comment. I redid my entire drum brake assembly cause it needed to be done.

Thank you for your useful video. Your TH-cam video very informative about adjusting brake drum. May God bless. Again, you're the hero..! Thank you, Sir...!
Is the emergency brake supposed to be set when you do this or no?
I need the answer to this question!!!!
No
Thanks bro..very useful video
where do you want the wheale to be at for movement when adjusting, I have mine at a little drag because my thinking was not to wear down the pads to much so the go half around then stop
You wouldn't happen to know where to buy a replacement park brake levers for 9" drum brakes?? All I've found is ones for 10" brakes 🤦♂️
Im trying to figure out adjusting my 68 chevy drum brakes and ive made it worse. For some reason, you barely apply pressure to the pedal and it sticks and once it gives it locks the brakes down.

I cant hear it clicking, must need new brakes.... wonder why you'd adjust those rusty things anyway, could always buy new!

Zip tie on forehead = loss of credibility
Good shot of the brakes, also used on Dodge d 150 Pickup, 11 inch from 84 to 93. Thank you.
Wow, you posted this 10 years ago. Did you ever get the zip tie tightened up? I'm guessing that your brain increased in size and snugged it up really nicely.
Im worried: I did this without the zip tie of infinite knowledge, are my brakes just going to spontaneously deconstruct?
Hate when I do drum brakes and I adjust it to have some drag like in the video and I take it for a long test drive and everything is good. Then when the customer takes it and leaves, they come back with the rear brakes locking up and I have to bring it in and loosen it up a bit.
Best video i seen yet on this.
Good vid! Dont know why every last comment has to mention that zip tie. Seriously who gives a shit, they must not be here to work on cars
Am i the ownly one what realize that he have a cable tie on his head wonder why but thanks for the tip
And guess who has working rear breaks now....this guy! This also helped with my hand brake.
Changed front brakes calipers and pads .buster and master cylinder.now I cant get pedal to stiffen up .do the drum brakes need to b adjusted to get brakes working agean
my vehicle has teeth facing only one way on the self adjuster so I can't tighten it to move the shoes inward more and I'm not sure how to do it without completely taking it apart
you know if it wernt for you , i found your program years ago, i would not have been able to see the yellow samurai restore. and all that other advice.
I didn't take off wheels from drum to adjust SMH That's what I was doing wrong! Zip tie comments are killing me LOL
first thing i noticed..but it didnt make sense until i realised he is really smart so i guess the zip tie is to keep his brain from getting too big.
Which direction tion do I need to turn star to close in closer?
The description is halarious
I have the same issue on my 95 YJ. Left rear locks up when you apply the brake quick.?
Lol guys check out the descriptio its better than the view
Everybody has something that makes me unique it's better than being a Unabomber
Anyone who wears a zip tie on their head is ok with me!
I think my adjuster rusted shut because the screwdriver method not working
Good to se you wearing that BRAIN STRAP
Cant be too safe .
Man you could have sprayed some wd 40 and carb cleaner to clean that brake a bit!
Auto or Self-adjuster that doesn't do its function, what the point on putting it?
Is that your tactical zip tie in case you get stranded on the trail and need to repair your bleepin Jeep?
Does my truck have to be in neutral to do the spin/fit check?
THE ZIP TIE ON THE HEAD IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE "STRING MOM WOULD TIE TO YOUR FINGER SO YOU WOULDN'T FORGET TO BUY MILK WHEN YOU RIDE YOUR BIKE PAST THE MARKET!" .IT HELPS YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGOT! OR ...FORGET WHAT YOU WERE TO REMEMBER. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ?DId I say that??? Anyhoo...??Where the heck did I put my head zip tie???! I FOROT TO REMEMBER!!
looks over adjusted to me ? that's almost handbrake applied
Confusing at 4:50 you adjusted downward to loosen and then said the shoes are going outward.
Ever consider doing a quarter panel cut and fold? It gets rid of that stupid rust pocket behind the rear tires, and looks cool as hell.
Did backing it off like that damage the gear? that clicking sound didn't sound very healthy
If your brakes are adjusted properly look above the rear driveshaft. There is a but on a long rod that connects the e-brake lines to the handle, taker a socket and ratchet and screw the nut in till the e-brake tightens up. This is for an XJ if that is what you were asking for.
Why does it need a little drag? Doesn't the drum get too hot during driving?
you just solved the mystery of the clips left over in my brake parts kit. Covers for those little slots, the van didn't have them when I started. Googling "little black clip in brake parts" didn't help much
Thanks Bleepin Jeep. Excellent demonstration.
I have a 2015 F150 that's had squeal when I back up every morning and even after use later in the day. I put new pads in the rear and it's still there.

Thank you SO much. I've had my car in the air for almost a week because I accidentally started a brake job with my parking brake on. I had no idea how to loosen it enough to get rotors on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Do you need to bleed the rear breaks when changing the pads?
My 2016 subaru crosstrek has a drum breaks inside the disk as parking brake, when I lift the hand break, the car has an inch to move forward and backward but it emmets a click from both sides, is it some defect?

I might have missed it but does the parking brake have to be engaged when adjusting the gear thingy
What the????? Cable tie?????
TimidaterYou’re supposed to finish that with Batman
Skip first 4 minutes to get to adjustment content.
Sir my car make squeaking noise from rear wheels when brake is applied. This happens only when the car is sitting over 7 hours of time. The sound goes away after repeated used of the brake pedal like 4 times or less. And, no issues with braking while driving!!!
During parking time for over 7 hours gear is engage, hand brake too. The moment the car is took out and brake is pressed, such irritating noise comes from the rear. There are no physical worn on brake parts including the brake shoe.
so doing this will adjust the handbrake too ?
Got a question for you ! I have an expensive air horn system year old stop blowing compressor fills up when air is released , fuse is good air horn is connected to original car horn which stills blows , how do I run a power line to bypass system just to check if horns went bad or its a problem in the electric system
if you can make a video on that showing direct line to test horns would be great
If you leave it too loose (like almost no drag) would it still self adjust? I think that's what I did.
Why have them drag, won't that wear out the pads?
My connect van was grinding from the rear drums took them off and the adjuster had exploded into shrapnel somehow😂
at the end he shows that hes wearing a zip tie around his head smart idea to lock in more heat gonna try that when i do my brakes next time
Great video ! Thanks! I have a question - are the adjuster screws designated as right side /left side? It doesn't look like they can be put on the wrong way. A guy is telling me that the adjusters on my 1990 Blazer are on the wrong side of each wheel. My adjusters look just like yours on this video . I told the guy I think mine are on there the right way. ? Help!
If the axle was implace, is this the correct amount of wheel turn ? I'll be finishing up a rear brake on a cj7 tomorrow.
why would you need to adjust it manually if it's self adjusting?
My brakes were so rusted, the star wheel was seized. And I don't believe they were working at all. I decided to replace everything. The shoes, star wheel, springs and all of the other hardware. Also replacing the wheel cylinders too. I've never seen brakes so rusted before. Jeep must of been sitting for a very long time before I bought it. Thanks for the great video!
Drinkinh game! Take a shot whenever he says "Adjust" or "Adjuster"!
