They are awful. Also there are a lot more parts, and they are heavier and harder to install than disc brakes. It makes me wonder why manufacturers still make them. It would be cheaper for them just to go all disc.
Just wanted to point one error. Great video. Its the adjuster comment you made, some folks might incorrectly install this. Looking at 1:28 the adjuster is removed with the long side on the top plate. Fast forward to 4:42 you said long side of adjuster goes to the rear. Fast forward to 5:04 you placed the long adjuster to the top plate but did not mention the error made at 4:42.
My rear brake is U-BS mode, I couldn’t stop my vehicle very well for a long time, I changed all the pads and still have no use, but after watched this video I am sure I should replace the pads in my drum and that will be helpful ! Thanks for your sharing ~
@@hoohoohoblin my trick ended up being to break the pins of the springs with a crow bar, from the back, so I could pull the drum off. Insides were bad. I had a whole new kit, including Cylinders so I didn't care to break anything tho.
Wish I'd have paid better attention to the order in which you reinstalled all the springs and parts. I put the big top spring on before installing the little side springs and pins and wound up destroying my wheel cylinder. Got brake fluid all over my new pads.
Thanks for sharing the instructions. I did this but I am now getting some clunking noise from the drums when braking. What could be the cause of that ? I am thinking the shoes might not be seated in the center which caused a thump per turn.
Disc brakes are a lot easier than drums for sure. But having no vehicle at all means no maintenance at all. I guess you could rent a truck if you ever need one.
Because you have to adjust the brake pads out. Watch this video pads should drag to 1 1/2 turns when you spin drum. th-cam.com/video/0KoronMSp68/w-d-xo.html
How do you go about adjust the E-Brake, ? I know sometimes after all is said n done, the e-brake would be very loose and get no traction when pulling it upwards.. Thanks 🙏
Can you recommend a set of brake shoes for a 2000 Camry CE? Looking for durable perhaps ceramic shoes. I used Akebono for the front (pads) but they don't seem to make shoes.
I'd recommend finding a ceramic shoe. I had put organic material shoes in my first gen Tundra and they howled loud enough to wake entire neighborhoods. Put in ceramics and they only squeeked when wet, otherwise completely silent.
So what about doing these on a 20 year old car with original parts and the car has spent it’s whole life in Chicago?? Can you do a tutorial on that? Lol
I hate doing drums.. but never had an all disc car. I like the fact that you didn't use/talkabout getting fancy tools... not needed!

I am doing my rear brakes tomorrow I did my front brakes last week now my rear !
Never done back brakes before 🙏
Thanks for the advice 👍
You’re welcome

At 4:42 he said the long end goes to the rear and this is the correct way to install it. Short leg should be in the front.

Thanks for info. You mentioned a lot of little things I didn't see in other videos. Helping my mom and I've never done this before haha
You’re welcome

I learned a lot from my dad
3:28 this spring is the bane of my existence, I need more vice grips and another person.
Thanks for the tip about never seize.
I have 2007 and it has brake shoes and rotors and brake pads. Double work. Many other cars have one or the other.

Good tutorial! Maybe splash a little brake clean on everything before seating the drum.
I just sold my truck two days ago. What a relief. No more service or maintenance 😌

@@hoohoohoblin Yep. Rent a truck or go Uber😀
After doing everything you said my brakes feel squishy?
Does anybody have a part number for the spring that holds the adjusting lever?
Just did this on a 2004 Toyota Camry LE but now the parking brake doesn’t work, any ideas ?
Because you have to adjust the brake pads out. Watch this video pads should drag to 1 1/2 turns when you spin drum.

Can you replace the studs without taking the break apart?
How do you go about adjust the E-Brake, ?
I know sometimes after all is said n done, the e-brake would be very loose and get no traction when pulling it upwards..
Thanks 🙏
3:24 you can manually adjust that star screw in the middle.
Очень полезно, понятно.спасибо!

That was awsome thk u so much....JCF.....
You’re welcome
Fantastic and thank you for the camera angles because that was what I needed the most.
You’re welcome
Good video thank you
You’re welcome
I want know the brake cylinder not the brakes

Yeah. We don’t have any rust out here. I feel sorry for you guys.
Where is the rust ? This looks brand new
This is a California car from the valley, so it never rains, and it’s far from the ocean, so it never rusts either.
nice and confusing switching from side to other side
Beeing working on getting these thing together for an hour. Ugh these are so annoying
I know. It looks really simple, but when you actually try to do it it is pretty frustrating.
