- In this video I will show you how to replace a defective drum brake wheel cylinder to stop your brakes from locking up.
I neglected to show how to get your brakes adjusted correctly at the end. D'oh! Basically move your adjuster and keep testing with the wheel drum until it spin freely.

Thank you for keeping it to the point and no unnecessary talking ! Great Video ....
Awesome, done a couple of disk brakes but never worked on this type. Can see from this how it should all work though, you covered it off nicely. Think I'd be happy opening up my mums brakes if needed now. Cheers.
Awesome!! Only other thing I do is lightly grease the threads of the star wheel & wear nubs of the backer plate for the shoes. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Crazy this is a bit of an obscure channel but I love the quick tool comparos. My recently replaced rear shoes have been locking up. Coincidence. I think not.
Love an Aussie auto repair video "that's buggered replace it"
Who is this "Aussie" you speak of???
😂he's Kiwi. Great video thanks mate👍🏻
He is a Kiwi. He won't be able to say hands on deck without offending the congregation.
I've already had that issue in a couple of videos I have made.
Excellent, thanks.
But didn't know they had the Hilux in NZ yet,, thought they still drove Wolseley's & Zephyrs over there
The Hilux is our national vehicle... and the wheel in this video belongs to a HiAce.
Quick question, I put new brakes on but didn't change the old brake wheel cylinder..I put the the drums on and the drum can turn and the brakes seems to be in perfect place but the moment I put the wheel on and torque the wheel the whole wheel locks up and stops moving. It's like torquing the wheels locked it up....do you have any suggestions on why that might be?
Brake drum is warped....replace it
Thanks mate
Can temperatures below freezing affect drum brake
Never gets that cold here so I can't help much with that one.
Apparently cold weather can exasperate issues with locking drum brakes. It's certainly been my experience.
I have a 2002 shuttle ezgo and rr is locking up. Cylinder not leaking but it not releasing pressure. Then when cooled it unsticks on its own.
Would it be better to refit the drum then there would be no chance of an air pocket in the new cylinder. Pressing the pedal would force any trapped air in the cylinder out.
I know this is an old video, but I wanted to point out that the bleeder goes on top in every situation, due to physics. Air is less dense than any fluid, so the bleeder always goes on the highest point of a hydraulic system.
Will dirty brake fluid cause the antilock warning light turn on?
Great video man thanks
Cheers
👍👍
Is it possible to install calipers backwards? Like install the left on the right?
You will know if you did it backwards if the bleeder screw ends up on the bottom of the caliper. They need to be at the top for air to come out of
My question here hope u can help me my car brakes locks up so when I disconnect the check valve from the booster u hear air released and brakes gets released immediately I replaced the valve with a dealer one and still the same also replaced master cylinder pads rotors and calipers any idea will help me a lot and thank you
Are you making sure you have bled the system properly?
How about front wheels locking up
My 1986 ford Broncos 1 . back driver side brake drum is locking up when i press the brake. I have new brakes new drum new cylinder and new booster. Do you any idea why this is happening to me my friend???
Air in the line? Dirty fluid? Cylinder not set correctly? Blockage in the line?
It started like 1 month after installing all these new parts. We're would you start first?
If it worked fine at first, then I would definitely start with the brake fluid.
Do you want to buy a BMW station wagon? - it has disc brakes on all four wheels!
It doesn't have damaged wing mirrors does it?
@@BuildsStuff No but it has one brand spanking new wing mirror!
Why was it locking up
What happend when the cylinder goes bad?
The wheel in question would lock up when I braked which was a bit scary. After it happening a few times I could feel which wheel it was and upon looking at the wheel cylinder, saw that it was leaking fluid which it shouldn't do.
@@BuildsStuff what if you cant get the drum off.....I know which wheel it is....I actually seen it drag...had my girlfriend drive so I could examine it...initially I thought the pin had broke but this makes sense.....Do you think I should change brakes also...which I already purchased thinking it was because I needed brakes....taking to shop tomorrow.....I have a 97 monte carlo ls.....
... it just made me mad to hear him say spinner...
Seems like you are the spinner.
@@nbtmcid I am not a spinner. I am. The spinner lol
@@tjr8063 Wow! 5 months to reply. You must've been spinning all over the place.
This is the problem your wheels are locking up. Now this may not be the problem your brakes are locking up.
Mine are locking up. I changed both cylinders on mine and it’s still occurring
@@humbugbaa6964 how you fix yours?
