Possible but not worth the time and money imo. You'd have to find a hub that fits the axle, then a rotor and caliper that work with it, fab up a caliper bracket. I'm not sure how easy it'd be to increase rear brake bias going from drum to disc. Then you'd have to figure out the e-brake.
They do have thin paint but overall hood together well out here. I don’t know how a Yaris compares. Here’s one with 500k Km th-cam.com/video/ES2B3OkjU-s/w-d-xo.html
I just saw your clip. Did it just start doing that? Does it do it with the ac off too? Have you tried removing the belt and see if it goes away? Looks like a 2014 or older.
@@turdpailsandtrails The 2014 model, when I bought it, was knocking quieter, no, I didn't try to remove the belt, they tell me it's mivec, a weak spot, but from below it looks like this
Sure, you could probably rig something up with a bottle jack, or piece of redo-rod/all-thread with some nuts and washers. It does take a bit of pressure to squeeze the bearing in though. Throwing the bearing in the freezer for a long while can help shrink it a little bit to help it go in easier too.
And right away he used an impact wrench to remove the self locking axle nut which shops manuals say don't do that. But thanks for the torque spec on the self locking nut. Many how to for this car's drum and never give it.
I just love these videos. Thanks for doing these.
More to come!
Another informative kick ass video!!!!
500.000 km? Wow...
You don’t even have to pack the new bearing full of grease?! Dang! That’s an easier job than it used to be.
Since you worked on this Rear Drums on this Mitsubishi Mirage do you think its possible to do a drum brakes to disc brakes conversion on this car?

Do a search on TH-cam for “Damian_subaru”. He’s got a clip of 2007 Lancer Ralliart rear discs on his 2015 Mirage. Looks like he figured it out!
10 years Warranty coverage that?
160k is only covered not 500k
How prone to the rust Mirage is ? Comparable to Toyota Yaris ?

Is it a diferent procces for a newer model like 2018??
It’s the same process.
Are these mirages just apart of a fleet you repair?
Yeah, most are fleet vehicles but I have one of my own as well.
Hi !!I have problems with the mitsubishi mirage engine, can I ask you for it?

@@turdpailsandtrails There is always a knock, when the load, for example, to go uphill, the sound is stronger
Does it sound anything like this one? th-cam.com/users/shortsIo9r5PRbIFw This one was replaced under warranty with only about 40k kms on it.
@@turdpailsandtrails No, it's a different sound, my mileage is 60000km
Is there another way to push in the new bearing without a press?

@@turdpailsandtrails thank you getting it done!
Lucky i do have a bottle jack

It's fine, my impact identifies as a hand tool.
