I coincidentally got my brakes from your company after Google searching a few different options. Now the first video I’m watching just as a little refresh is your video. You guys have great seo and marketing!
I’m going to be replacing the wheel cylinders just because so on the cylinders we do bleed them like normal where you pump the brakes then hold and repeat?
Wait.... at 13:47......the *rear* "fork"..... I think the proper orientation is for the shorter "leg" of the fork to be placed on the rear-side ( closer to the inside of the car)......the longer "leg" then is on the front-side ( outside direction of the wheel). Pls check. Going further.....the front fork.... the longer "leg" is located on the "Rear" (backside)....and the short leg on the "front"....toward the outside of the car. I had this problem when I did my last brake job on my (identical) Scion xA...and had to re-do the work afterwards.....because I originally installed it backwards. As verification.... Go to the beginning of the vid and note the OEM orientation as you took the pieces *out*. Look CAREFULLY at 3:24 to 3:29.....and again (+/-) around 3:45. The front fork ( pointed to the front of the car)...should have the short leg of the "Fork" on the outside, long-fork on the inside........for the rear fork, it's the opposite....short fork leg on the inside and long on the outside. *LATER EDIT*....nevermind...you said (for the rear fork)..."place larger cutout to the rear". This is correct. The side with the larger-deeper CUTOUT, has the SHORTER LEG, as I described it. Sorry)
Is the adjustment direction for the passenger wheel OPPOSITE of the adjustment used on the driver's side? .....meaning.....on driver's side, you show that moving the wheel teeth up from the backsise (16:40 -16:52)...presets the 2 shoes NARROWER. Does moving ther teeth UP on the passenger side move the shoes WIDER ?( LATER EDIT...it SEEMS there are different left side and right side adjuster parts numbers.....so one side seems to have reverse thread of the other. The result.... I think.... is that they adjust the same way.....from the backing plate opening, spinning the adjuster wheel "up" narrows the shoe preset distance on either side).
My drum doesn’t fit back over the new shoes.. the adjuster is compressed as far as possible and I even opened the bleeder valve. All that did was make a mess. I’m at a loss
All that grease, noooo. The only location from grease in drum breaks is the pad extender threads. Every location where you have exposed grease will quickly load up with dirt and break dust. Works case, some of that grease makes it's way onto the break pads and no more stoppie. Good info but please drop all that unnecessary grease.

I’ve popped a couple wheel cylinders. You can just put them back together

Great videos though. Very thorough
What happened to the spring at 2:18 ? Was it reinstalled? Also does it matter on cap direction on the spring loaded pins.?
Thank you so much!!❤

I think I won’t be able to remember how to reassemble
