Just a pointer, you’re supposed to clean the whole hub so it’s a smooth surface to avoid getting pulsating brakes, also you should’ve adjusted the parking brake by turning the adjusting screw till you couldn’t move the rotor and then backing it off by 8 clicks
Great video man. Thanks for going through it in detail. Those screws that are always hard to take off in the rotor. You don’t have to install them. They are just there to hold the rotor in place in the assembly line before installing the calipers and wheels.
Thanks, I appreciate it. It did take alot of time to film and edit. Yes, you're right... Many other car manufacturers don't even have that screw there.
Thanks, I appreciate that. Some think it’s too extensive or boring, but It’s a DIY and I’m trying build confidence in the person attempting this repair. I appreciate your comment.
@@BakeryPilot glad to hear bro! Yeah this TL I picked up had an absolute seized parking brake on the rotor. Horrible. I used these guidelines and crazy that I did a lot of mechanic work and actually worked at a dealership but never did a drum setup myself. But I did today.
If your back rotors dont come off easily, its because the rotor is so rustied that it creates a layer that your parking brake gets caught on. So, the rubber insert that comes off the rotor is an inspection hole plus parking brake adjuster hole. The adjuster is at the bottom almost center. It looks like a gear, it has teeth that will be aligned with the hole. Take a screw driver and push the teeth down not up. There is a spring there but thats normal to hit. It only adjust so far obviously so once it doesnt feel like its going down any more stop. Youll notice the rotor getting closer to release if not released already. You may have to continually to pull rotor as forward as possible and push in, many times. Wd 40 around the back of the rotor if needed and spray in inspection hole as needed. I say this from my experience today. It was extremely frustrating and i coudnt find but one suggestion online. Good luck
Great video, btw those set screws for the rotor aren't required to put back on they use them during assembly so rotors don't fall off before wheels are put on. :)
True, but it's a pain to have the rotor flopping around when trying to get the parking brake adjustment done. I usually replace then fairly often, with stainless metric screws. And, as you know, they don't need to be all that tight.
Great video! I had to replace the wheel hubs cuz a few broken lug studs.. easily done without resistance with the hub out the way.. but on the flip, the 20 y/o hubs was a bitch to remove as they were seized on
U didn't show how to adjust the brake shoe, how do u go about that. I put new rotors in the rear now it is grinding, I think the shoe brake is too tight?
Thank you, very, very helpful, I'm in the midst of the same procedure. The parking brake hardware kit that you showed in the parts section - does that one kit do both sides or do I need to buy 2 kits? (The Amazon description doesn't say...).
I used Dorman Hardware accessories...I ordered Raybestos parts only because they technically should fit well together. To me it made less sense to have rotors from one brand, then shoes and pads from another brand. Having said that, they all should work. Raybestos is a reputable brand and is available in many local auto parts stores.
Great video man. This helped me out a lot. The best video on how to do this job on TH-cam.
Thanks, i appreciate that.
Thanks, great video, appreciate you time to teach us

About to tackle this in a few minutes. Thanks for the detailed video!
Awesome work! Great in depth.

I hope the 4th-Gen is similar.
What a good job and detailed

@@nunyabusiness5075Just put a lug on
The best video thank you man
Thanks Ronald!
Does doing this automatically adjust the parking brake from pointing up to the sky?
It does not automatically fix that problem, but you can adjust it while you're changing the brake shoes.

What are you talking about? I showed it at 17:58
@@BakeryPilot so my new shoe is on and the adjuster is low as possible but still the rotor can’t fit, what can i do?

Thanks Jose... The 3rd part should be coming soon, once I finish the edit. Thanks Bro.
do you like the raybesto hardware kit? I see centric brand is there as well for little more. is there a diff?

The Dorman hardware was adequate though.
👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Thanks
Yo im sorry dude but you put the spring backward lol i look back in ur video and evidence is there but sall god thx tho ;)
I’ll take a look at it and confirm…Thanks
Literally skipped most of these videos to get to the actual information need. The rest was not needed
Haha.. understood. Everyone's at different levels when it comes to DIYs. Sometimes you have to be thorough to include everyone's experience levels.
