All I can say that you are not a mechanic only, you are a very good teacher who knows well how to teach and show your viewers each single tiny thing and how to fix it. Thanks you very much for such a great spirit because you are making our lives much more easier . Thank you very much 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thanks very much for this tutorial, made it simple to change the drum brakes with no experience. The spring setup would be so confusing without it. Much appreciated!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I know how to do this now. Mind you, you made getting that first spring back on look very easy. I also struggled with the spring on the hand-brake cable. Thanks once again.
how long or how many miles does it take for new brakes shoes and cylinders to bed in? i have drum brakes and had new shoe kit fitted but car feels a bit resistant when driving. brakes have been bled and fluid filled up and handbrake adjusted to about 4 clicks
Great video just subscribed. As a viewer some friendly advice, if you put your repair videos into playlists by manufacturer aka vauxhall, ford etc it will help your viewers to just binge your video, wanted to watch the vauxhall ones but too much scrolling to find where they are👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
nice video thankyou , after installing a new cylinder why would the shoe on the right keep slipping off towards the backplate and landing on the rubber grommet of cylinder ? even though everything is in place , any ideas thanks
No you have to adjust them on the hub first. On one side of the shoe if you pull it either way you will see the adjuster go up or down then just adjust it accordingly.
Good video but honestly guys, take it to a garage. Not quick or easy to DIY. If you do try DIY, dont forget to grease contact points or brakes will squeek when driving. Also to fit the new springs, it's easier to pull using the old springs instead of a flat head screwdriver
Great video. Been looking to do them myself since my local mechanic quoted me £240 for drums snd shoes on both sides. Not sure im confident to do it myself, is £240 a good quote?
Great video but a couple of questions...do you need to replace the self locking hub nut with a new one ?...and is there a torque figure for tightening the nut? Thanks
You don't need to Replace the nut. As for tightening the nut there is a torque setting around about 150nm but to be honest just do it tight as you can with a braker bar/strong arm
150nm???!!! buddy, not so hard. the instruction provides for tightening 70nm and 40 degrees. of course you have to put on a new nut or give thread glue.
Mate stop giving out bad information.. axle nut should never be tightened to 70nm.. unless you want the whole thing to come off some day.. and yes you can use tue same nut as long as you tap a notch back in .
@@thooney2934 Sorry to disappoint you, this information is correct, torque 70Nm+40ﾟangular, it's generally recommended to renew all the self-locking nyloc style nuts, as there is no groove in the stub, nowhere to tap a notch. Simples.
@TEAMR4ULTV Yes, if you look at how the adjuster is designed to work. It's self adjusting as the wheel cylinders operate and brake wear takes place. The adjuster will drop with the tension applied from the spring and adjust the shoes. But the video was great. I would definitely recommend a dedust next time of the back plate and grease the high spots where the shoes contact that back plate . Other then that a good job done..
@@TEAMR4ULTV I ordered a full set of brake shoes with springs included and I will try to replace it myself. Doesn't look very hard from the video. Thanks for showing us every single step 👍
@@TEAMR4ULTV Just a question. I only have the small jack that is included with the car's tool kit. Is it going to be enough to secure the car for as long as it takes to replace the shoes? Or should i buy a hydraulic jack instead?
@@imrxnz2531 thanks for watching really appreciate it. To be honest them small Jack's are not that safe there ok for the odd tyre replacment on and off, but for you to Replace brake shoes not safe.
@@TEAMR4ULTV thanks bro. Could you please check the video I uploaded on my channel please? My cars started making a noise when i turn the steering wheel. Do you have any idea what could it be?
Wow great video! Question, do we need to mess with the adjuster? In the video you knock it down to tighten and knock it up to slacken. Doesn’t it auto adjust after applying the brakes?
R4UL TV thanks so much for explaining. You mentioned that the lever should move freely on the new shoes but I received my new Apex branded shoes and one side moves freely but the other side is slightly stiffer to move. Can I grease the lever bolt with something? If so what do you recommend, wd40 or a thicker grease? Thanks again!
@@seemaab I wouldn't use grease or anything just pull the lever up for example if you have the shoe on your hand just try bending the lever towards you just a mil its should go free
R4UL TV The new lever on the brake shoe doesn’t get smoother, it has a jerky motion when I pull or push it. The new lever for the other side moves very smoothly. It’s as if the bolt is pressed too hard or doesn’t have enough grease from the manufacturer internally.

You explained this procedure very clear broke it down for novice like me with all them springs ! Top guy thanks Frank
Thanks for watching really appreciate it
So easy to follow. Was about to call a mechanic . I am doing this myself now, no doubt. Thank you!
You are a very likable person btw. I really enjoyed watching this.
That's great trying my best hopefully you get the job done. Thanks for watching really appreciate it.
@@TEAMR4ULTV I did it, and it went well. Thank you! :)

Good idea will do that
How tight should be wheel bearing?
this will save me around 70 bucks ...cheers bud.
nice video thankyou , after installing a new cylinder why would the shoe on the right keep slipping off towards the backplate and landing on the rubber grommet of cylinder ? even though everything is in place , any ideas thanks
On the cylinder there are little groves or cut outs to prevent that from happening just check if its facing the wrong way if so just spin it around
Simplified tutorial thank you very much.
Thank you bro 👍 helped me loads, today.
Great video with useful details! Thank you.
So how did you adjust it. I know you slid the adjuster up until slack. But do they auto adjust when you press the brake pedal?
No you have to adjust them on the hub first. On one side of the shoe if you pull it either way you will see the adjuster go up or down then just adjust it accordingly.
very usefull thanks

Good video, thank you.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the video mate. I think I’m better off paying £40 do get them done instead
thank's bro.
Thanks for watching really appreciate it
Hi what did you torque the hub nut too
If you want the exact torque setting just check autodata. I just used a breaker bar/strong Arm and did it tight as posible.
Good video thanks

My understanding is if you put the drum back on and press the foot brake the adjuster should drop and adjust that way ?
Thanks for watching really appreciate it. To be honest I never done it that way. Might work
@TEAMR4ULTV Yes, if you look at how the adjuster is designed to work. It's self adjusting as the wheel cylinders operate and brake wear takes place.

Is the spring kit included with the new brake shoes pack? Or do do you have to buy them separately ?
I had to buy them separately.

Am sorry but its very hard to explain via message

Easier way to get drum off is pop up the handbrake adjuster wedge with a screwdriver through one of the bolt holes .
Thanks for watching really appreciate it. Thanks for the advice I'll try it next time
