Interesting video & a job well done considering all of the various appropriate tools were not utilised for home instructional purposes!! (fine) However & of some concern was the fact that "NO SAFETY GLASSES" were worn, "NO NOSE/MOUTH FILTER"was used against the "POISONOUS" dust that was floating around in the atmosphere when the drum was initially removed??? Also as a new bearing was being fitted there was no hand/finger protection (gloves) from possible dirt/dust contamination etc, etc.!! I'm currently learning this stuff at a training institution & with respect, if my tutor had of caught me implementing this level of wokmanship he would have booted my arse forthwith & given me low marks & rightfully so!! Sure these aspects I've pointed out (& with respect) may not be absolutely necessary but they duly display a good & totally professional level of competence!! Might not have been the way Grandad used to do it but in line with modern vehicle servicing methods & practices, they are without a doubt the right & proper way to do this type of work!! Safety is "PARAMOUNT" & it doesn't matter if it is in the home or the workshop as it makes no difference to any resulting accident!! As we all have to learn whatever please accept this critique with grace!!! As a side issue, we also put wheel bearings that are to be inserted into a vehicle & try & leave them overnight (or even a few hours) into a fridge/freezer to cool the bearings & therefore make their insertion so much easier!! (it surely works as the buggers simply fly in) 😀😁😋😛👌👌

I have called the dealership to change the distribution and they tell me that being such an old car (1999) they will surely have to order the spare parts from an external distributor to find them. I take them there so they can put original parts on me, not what they intend to do.
Wrong wrong wrong, this just tightens the shoes and can cause drag and drum faliure!!! To do it properly, you need to adjust the via the drum. READ A MANUAL!!!
