Was quoted $600 for labor on replacing shoes , drums, and cylinders. But after watching this video It gave me confidence to do it my self. Going to try and knock it out in a couple weeks
Yeaaaaa buddy! Always better to do it yourself if you can. Not gonna lie though, if that’s $600 including parts then that’s not terrible. Drums are $200-300, shoes 75-100, cylinders 20-40, hardware kit 20., fluids, lines, etc… So around 450 in parts. I certainly wouldn’t change these for someone else for $150 🤣 But for myself I guess I’ll suck it up 😎 Let me know how it goes!
I'm doing this job right now on my wife's 2000 dually. I'm 50, & a little worried about pulling the heavy drum off. Oh well, I'm still gonna send it! 😂
I hate you dude you went through one of the best videos and then when I got to the part where I can't figure out how to get the thing back together you go super speed with no explanation thanks for the help
@@conquercustom lmao I was trying to put everything back together all aggravated and when it got to the part of the video I've been waiting for it went high speed . I was just standing in the driveway like FML
I wish I had enough wit to keep my cool when doing my own automechanics. Maybe once I garage is more set up it will become easier, but your flow state is untouched in automechanics as far as I am concerned!!! Great work, brother!
🙌 Thank you 🙏 But I get pissed off plenty 😆 the camera only tells part of tale. I work through problems and don’t let anything stop me. Keep after it man, it might not get easier but as you advance it will seem easier. 💪
Gotta be military? Love the video, had 90% of mine off but things were a little snug and instead of heemaning if off and breaking something, looked here to just make sure. Thanks for your help, vid was great
Great video, I was wondering how can i get to the rear brake line on these heavy duty axles since that line is sandwiched against the rear leaf pack, now I know. Thanks
The truck is on the road, what I’m trying to do is replace the rear lines with a stainless kit that I purchased, I did the entire truck except the rear lines . When I tried to get to the rear brake lines I noticed that those lines are packed so tight against the leaf springs that the only way imagine is to pull the brake cylinder out , but it never dawned on me about pulling the backing plate until your video, very informative,
any idea where i could get replacement clip and square locking block for the spindle nut ? i have this axle in the rear of 1937 dodge but previous mechanic has lost the bits i only have the nuts!! cheers
My truck was sitting for years and I believe the break shoes are stuck to the drum. Any ideas for breaking the break drum loose. So far a torch and hammer hasn’t helped. The left rear dually is the problem child.
Oh boy I went through that on my f350 a couple years ago. I beat the crap out of it days. Eventually after days of soaking with PB blaster and whacking it let loose. 🤷🏻♂️
love the video. watching to learn how to work on my 1988 c3500. question, since you are removing the backplate, could you leave the brake pad assembled, remove the entire thing as a unit and work on it on the bench? instead of trying to work those springs on the ground?
Thanks for checking it out! I don’t know honestly know if the whole thing would come off in one piece with all the springs intact. But let me know if that works!
I don’t honestly remember 🤣 but if you go to any of the parts store websites you’ll probably be able to find the correct part number for your application.
What's the torque on the locking ring? In many cases, you crank it down to a specific amount then back it off a bit. But I didn't see any mention of that.
At 9:12 the do hicky that goes back and forth that holds the springs in place. What is it called mines is bent plus now I can’t find it since I took the truck apart almost a year ago.
I’m not sure, maybe? But if the bleeders are in bad enough shape to break off then it probably wouldn’t hurt to do a brake job and replace the cylinders.
@@conquercustom was literally thinking that cause you said they were cheap and def dont wanna do this twice!! Thank you for taking the time for the video
@@conquercustomjust like yours the drum came off as 1, but while shopping I only see drums that have the back half the front half where the studs are attached is not on the drum. Is it 2 pieces or 1 piece?
@@TheNeecee23 it’s a 2 piece design but they should come together. I’ve never successfully separated a dually hub from its rotor. They’re usually hella locked on.

Just yank and jump out of the way 🤣 it’s not as heavy as I thought it would be honestly. But it’s not light 😅
@@conquercustom ya, it wasn't too heavy. One side's done.....

Nice work. I am back in my 93 replacing a wheel cylinder that blew. This video cracked me up.
Thanks, god you dig it. I hate when cylinders pop, pita. I hope the bolts aren’t rusted 😬
Needed this video fr
🙌 glad it helped!
Love ur energy doing this next week on my ons c3500 just in case somce i really know mothing about it
Make everything fun and it makes the work easier! Good luck on doing yours 💪 hopefully she’s not all rusty and crusty 🤞
Gotta love the music playing over him talking
Yea, someone sucks at editing 😂😂
Love the sense of humor.
🙌🙌🙌
When you said to go do the otherside i felt that pain!!!
The harsh reality 😂 but at least on the other side you’ve already done it once
Great video, all the best from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you very much! 🙏
Thank you for the fun vid, definitely gonna help.
Happy to be of service! I hope it goes smoothly for you!

@@tomsteffs6511 nice, no more rusting lines for you!
Yes, every car that I had that the lines needed line replacements I went with stainless, do it once and never worry again.
@@tomsteffs6511 wise man right there!
Great video hilarious and informational
😬 trying not to be too long winded but brakes are pretty boring 😂
Dude!!!! Great video thank you
🙌 hope it was helpful!
Excellent video, only problem is the music at the end drowned you out, was it important info?, thanks
Interesting, YT must have added that music somehow 😂 nothing important. Just me jaw jacking 😅
any idea where i could get replacement clip and square locking block for the spindle nut ? i have this axle in the rear of 1937 dodge but previous mechanic has lost the bits i only have the nuts!! cheers
Might be able to buy some of those universal woodruff key kits or possibly at an old fashioned hardware store.

I have the same issue. Think the e-brake is stuck on
Thanks for the great video and part #s

Quick question did the speed bleeder fit i was looking for them online but it said it wont fit your vehicle I have a GMC G3500 dually

I went with German Engineering specs on everything. Güdentïght 😎
😅this guy is talented and funny he knows what he's doing
but I would not attempt this myself I'm too weak to do what he does😂
🙌 thank you 🙏 I just edit out the parts where I suck 🤣
Good video bro!
Thanks my guy! I hope it helped!
At 9:12 the do hicky that goes back and forth that holds the springs in place. What is it called mines is bent plus now I can’t find it since I took the truck apart almost a year ago.
I don’t know what it’s called… I only know the sound I make when it fails 🤬
great video thank you
Hope it helped!
thumbs up ..but muzic louder than you speak, stop tht man,be blessed
Yea sorry, early edit days 😬
Do you need new gaskets on the end of the axle when you replace it?
😬 I did not… I don’t know that there was one on it when I took it apart 🤷🏻♂️ but it’s been going strong ever since 😆
Would i be able to take off the whole four bolts and remove the whole assembly with all pads still on i only have broken bleeders need to be replaced
I’m not sure, maybe? But if the bleeders are in bad enough shape to break off then it probably wouldn’t hurt to do a brake job and replace the cylinders.

@@holeshot1721 yea buddy! I’ll keep making them 🎥
Do you know where I can get that brake drum mines is so rusted while I was hammering it off it started breaking off
Rock Auto should have it.
@@conquercustomjust like yours the drum came off as 1, but while shopping I only see drums that have the back half the front half where the studs are attached is not on the drum. Is it 2 pieces or 1 piece?
@@conquercustomk I see that's the drum, hub, and bearings. Well I don't see how that's suppose to be taken apart 😂
@@TheNeecee23 it’s a 2 piece design but they should come together. I’ve never successfully separated a dually hub from its rotor. They’re usually hella locked on.
I separated and the hub and bearing is discontinued even on Rockauto 😢cry with me please
No inner wheel seal. No outer axle flange seal? No preload on the bearings? No inspecting the bearings?… ok. 🤷🏻♂️
"that never happens" proceeded to do the thing that always happens, (unintentionally lube's the box end wrench)
😂 never happens 😆
Wish there was no .music couldn't hear a bunch of whatvtoubsaid
