One of the best drum brake videos I've seen. Something that was shown to me in the last few years from a GM mechanic of 30+ years is using high temp brake grease when installing new brake shoes. At the 14:54 mark in your video you'll notice 6 raised "pads" on the backing plate. These are spots that GM recommends high temp brake grease since the back side of the brake shoes are constantly rubbing against them. Also, he pointed out that you need grease at the top pivot point where the tops of the shoes ride. One other spot he mentioned is the self-adjuster needs grease on the threads and opposite side pivot dowel so it moves freely. Keep up the great work!
You're right! I should have added some high temp grease on there 🤦♂️ thank you for watching 🔥 💯
I can't comprehend the amount of time, money, and agitation this short video has saved me now. I'm very appreciative of this, as I learn to fix things on my 86 monte carlo ss. Thank you for putting this video on here, it's saved me hours, maybe even days of frustration to get the clip not only off, but on as well. Huge shout out to you
Nice! Glad to hear this video helped you on your Monte. Thank you for watching 🤝💯
Brother this video was a life saver. My first time doing drums on 83 Cutlass supreme. Thanks again
Nice! Good to hear that it was helpful to you. Thank you for watching 💪💯
I really appreciate your no-nonsense and detailed video, too many people skip over important stuff or run it in fast motion. I managed to replace my drum brakes today following your video. Plan to come back here in the future on my 82 El Camino project.
Glad it helped! 🤝🔥💯 thank you for watching 💪💯
Hands down, this is the best disc brake replacement video on TH-cam. You explained everything perfectly. You made my job a breeze. Thanks
Appreciate it! Thank you for watching 🤝💯
Excellent video, I've seen many videos on gm drum brakes and this is the best one
Appreciate it. Thank you for watching 👊💯.
After watching your video again (to make I understood your directions) I went out and assembled the brakes on my 83 Caprice in about an hour - after fighting with them for about 3 hours and nearly blowing my top. Thank you, again, for the easy to understand - with pictures - step by step process.
Good to hear! I'm glad this made the job easier for you 🤝💯
Gracia Homie, got A 84 monte & just starting to get it back together after years of sitting. Video helped un chingo homie! 🙏
Eso es todo! Glad this video helped. Thank you for watching 💪💯
Good stuff -- I've been sitting on my 87 T-Type, with the rear end disassembled for the last year, and had to put it together from two weather-destroyed boxes of parts. You saved me on the brakes, sir. Thank you.
Nice! Glad this video helped you 🤝💯
Wow Thanks my friend for the great video. I just inherited an 82 El Camino SS that needs a brake overhaul. Rear drums were intimidating until now.

Excellent instructions Bro...
Thanks for your help, it saved me lots of money from just taking it in.
No problem 🤝 glad it helped you out. Thank you for watching.
Outstanding video. You made the clip holding on the cylinder look easy! I am going to put some grease on the backing plate hits the shoes and will use some never sieze on the adjuster threads.
Thank you 🤝.. I was thinking of adding some grease on the backing plate too, but after some research I found that mechanics were saying that the grease creates an area for brake dust to collect. This is why I didn't add any. Thank you for watching 👊💯
Great video homie. I just bought an 87 regal and gotta work on everything..

@@StillStandingGarage , no thank you. I had a replacement rear end installed and the emergency brake isn't connected. Looks like I'm going to have to take everything apart to reconnect it
Damn! That sucks. Glad the video helped 💪💯
Dope video homie💪
Thank you! 💪💯
As someone that has never NEVER done their own brakes (me), you make it look easy. This is very informative and helpful. I'm definitely saving this video. And by the clean Regal. Is that an 82ish? My aunt had one when I was a kid, always wanted one and still do, but I got a 78 Cadillac Coupe. You got videos on how to do front brakes ? I haven't gone thru all your vids yet. Thanks.
Thank you. This one is an 83 Regal. Im glad you found this video helpful. I don't have any videos of replacing the front brakes. Thank you for watching.
🔥 Gracias homie for the video
Thank you for watching 💪🔥💯
Hope you had great holidays and new year.
Thank you... Hope you did as well 💯👊
Gracias
🤝💯
Thank you for uploading this video I just bought a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix and I need to do the Brakes all the way around. I would of know how to do the brakes I would of have to take it to the shop Thanks. Hello from San Jose, CA ( Bay Area)
Nice! I'm glad it helped you. Thank you for watching 🤝💯
Do you have a instructional video for front brake pads and rotor replacement?
I don't have one on that yet. Thank you for watching 🤝💯
Thanks we was at a stand still on ours. ..hey any idea on why I can't get my rear drums to bleed a good amount. I only get a tiny bit out of the rear and peddle don't go down like on front and as it should????
Check your proportioning valve. It might be locked.
Awesome tutorial Bro . Are the 85 Buicks the same?
Thank you 🙏 Yes, they're the same.
Ty fam I just got me a 79 regal u gave me some good ideas it’s a car I want to bless my daughter with in the future what’s your plans for the motor
No problem. I'm glad the video helped you 💯 and that's bad ass that you're passing on the car to your daughter. My motor is rebuilt, so I'm just making sure it's running right. I rebuilt it back in '05 and parked it about '09. I started working on it again around 2 or 3 years ago. So, I'm pretty much dressing it up and upgrading things here and there as I go. I have videos on thr things I've done in it. Check them out 💪💯
@@StillStandingGarage I don’t know if I wanna go with like a Lowrider build or like a hot rod build like because it has a 350 in it small block V8 because I live in San Bernardino 29 palms so there’s a lot of dirt out here so I don’t think hydraulics would be the best for it
That would be bad ass too. Keeping them somewhat stock is also a good look, in my opinion.
Do you have Still Standing merch with a Monte in the background?
I do! Check out stillstandingstore.com 💪💯
Good evening, is this the same way also on a 83 grand prix?
Yes, it should be the same.
I changed the brakes but for some reason 1 side is smoking when I'm driving
You will need to adjust the pads. They are most likely riding on the drums as you drive.
I also subed
Welcome to the channel 💪💯
@@StillStandingGarage yes sir
Honestly. As mechanic, them drum spring tools belong in the trash. Expensive trash easily replaced with vice grips and a screw driver. 10 seconds. No bs.
I've completed this many times before using both methods, and I like using the drum spring tools better. It's all good as long as we get them done. Get them classics back out there 💯. Thank you for watching 💪.
