Took me nearly 3hours do this the 1st (and only) time ive done it...wish i had this vid then..will be a great help when i do the job again...im keeping a 2000 nissan micra on the go....great vid..thanks...
Yeah in the beginning it takes a while and it's a good idea to have someone who knows how to do it too. I have a longer more detailed instructional drum brake video you should check out too. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

OMG I'm first for once. Thanks for helping me with drums. Blew out wheel cylinder due to be out of adjustment. I will be converting to rear disc because these are not as easy as it looks. Fighting with hold down pins and careful pushing wheel cylinder to far forward or backwards.
Went to do the brakes on daughters car, to my dismay they were DRUM!😢 Found a different video, either way, they suck, especially without the fancy tools. If you dont have one, would love to see a Drum to Disc conversion in a future vid. Between pincab and mechanic stuff great channel.
You watched my longer drum video? It would have earned you several points of Dad skillz.....probably enough to level up. You can do these without special tools but it is easier with them. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
The last time I had a car with drum brakes was my 1989 Chevrolet Beretta GTU. I sold that car back in 1997 and I guarantee you that car is long rusted out and compacted into a cube.
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. My Dad had one of those and I learned how to change my first oil change on that. You'd be surprised how you'll still need to work on drum brakes. All kinds of vehicles still use them including trailers. Thanks for the watch!
I have a longer diy drum brake video which is way more detailed, you should check it out. As for setting clearance on the drum, you can tell by the friction it takes to slide on the drum. It should just slide on so set it till it won't go on and then adjust about 1mm smaller once it just starts to go on but tight. It is easier with a drum caliper though. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
No idea but I plan to eventually run workshops like this later once the channel takes off. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch!
