New subscriber here. Just bought a '76 GMC Glenbrook and this video will be very helpful in the very near future. Well done. Very complete and easy to follow. Ready to view your other videos. Thanks for your efforts!!
Great video! I really appreciated the fact that you show the driver's side fully assembled. Helps to double check your work. The only thing I like to do differently is to put a bead of black RTV around the wheel cylinder before installing to prevent excessive water from getting inside.
Good afternoon Andrew. Thank you for the part numbers for the rear brakes. Might you have part numbers for the front brake calipers or maybe rebuild kits for them ? ? We own a 1973 Canyon Lands with the big heavy GM calipers.
Thank you for this video. I did have a question. I just bought a 76 Eleganza and only going 4 miles, the rear brakes had locked up and started overheating the rig. I am a novice to these. Parking brake was off. Motor is so strong I did not notice dragging or hear it plus never went over 30. Am I missing some special handshake? Cheers
Could be dry bearings. Could be leaky wheel cylinders. 3 out of my 4 wheel cylinders leaked bad. You need to pull all 4 brake drums regardless and make the system 100%. Dont cut corners.
The driver's side is more difficult to assemble because you have to hold everything together with your right hand and compress the spring with your left hand. A comedy of errors for me
best brake video ever. nice job. i dont even have an RV but watched the entire video LOL
The best brake installation video I have ever seen!
Thank you so much!
New owner of a '73 Glenbrook barn find (25 years in hibernation) here. Really appreciate your videos. Very well done! Thanks!
Glad to help! Getting a new facility soon and hoping to make more
Just found these videos and just in time. I get my coach in 2 days. Please keep doing these. Look super helpful.
Yes many more on the way! Thank you so much!
Steve how is your coach coming along?
Excellent video! I’ve been thinking about getting a GMC motor home, since they’re all old your videos will surely help out!

Thanks for the videos. I just found a wet inner tire in the rear, just two days before our big camping/boating trip. Sigh.
Great job explaining how to do this. Last time I did this was on the GMC 25 years ago. Will be replacing wheel cylinders soon and this helps a lot..
Adrew- Great video - keep them coming
Excellent videos. Keep up the great work. I have a 78 Eleganza 2

Do you by any chance have a part number for the front rotors? Thnx.
Theyre unavailable. You need to get them turned

@@WildElement you do not have a GMC TZE motorhome then.
These videos are directed at the classic Americana GMC RVs equipped with front wheel drive…
