Admiral Off-Road Admiral, I did the job following your directions. But on one of the drums I put the white retaining springs in opposite directions. Meaning one was upside down that you put right side up and vice versa for the other. When I pulled my breaks apart, which was done by a mechanic, they had it the opposite way from you. Do you think it matters?
Not to take anything away from the other guys who make videos like this (probably just my comprehension skills) but this video will be the reason I don't pay someone else to do it. Thanks ps. just swapped from dana 35 to 44 on 96 Cherokee, ready to see the difference.
He did a good job I would say invest in a brake tool set . Cost is 12 to 60 dollars make the job much easier. He did cut away during the last part of the video. This can be difficult at times so I screw the brake adjuster in as far as possible to give more space to work with . Note not so far that the shoe are lose. He explained it well and had some humor in the video. I say always do one side at a time! So you have an example if you have troubles getting things back together. I give him a A for the day.
Great explanation there! I have the 93' Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (ZJ) I6 4.0 which looks like your drum brakes. I have the Dana 35 limited slip rear differential/42 RE Selec Trac transmission/242 Transfer Case. Just curious what you were working on exactly? Yr, make & model , Dana 35 or ? Do you have a video on replacing the rear axle bearings/seals? If not I'm just curious if the bearing/seal is pressed in the axle tube ??? or if the bearing is pressed around the axle shaft itself ??? If you answer me back I shall definitely subscribe & give you a thumbs up! Thx much.
Great video. Did have trouble with the bottom steps when it came to the spring and the plate. Not too much of a close up but everything else was super easy. First time doing anything on a car and this video helped a lot
@@AdmiralOffRoad Friend, I'm looking over some drawings and pictures, of these breaks, and, one thing is standing out. EVERY picture, how to, drawing, etc... has an additional spring. Yours was missing it from the start, and you didn't install one. My kit came with one, and I just looked, and confirmed, there is a rusty one with my old parts, so, it was there. I followed the video step by step, so, I didn't realize till now. I think yours was/is missing that spring. I probs need to get mine back open, and install it. The Adjuster Spring: See it here: www.pinterest.com/pin/290482244700046571/ and HERE: wranglertjforum.com/attachments/37181755_2074521975892312_5368584492933971968_o-x2-jpg.48645/ Thoughts?
I'll have to go back through and look. I did make this video a little over 2 years ago and haven't had any issues with it but I'll have to check for the missing spring
@@AdmiralOffRoad OMG!! You're right! During that section, I was distracting by the back of your beautiful head, during that section, and missed it. You the man. Thanks so much for a time saving video! Pleasure to talk to you
Great vid and amazing job without brake tools! I always do them wet, meaning lube the shoe seats on the backing plate with high temp or silicon ... good job !!!
It's worth greasing the inside of the removable part of the adjuster and the threaded part before installing.for easy brake adjustment in the future. And definitely replace all springs when you replace your shoes as they play an equally important role as the shoes themselves do.
Any tips on a troubled Brake line that refuses to go back into the Wheel Cylinder? I have been struggling with one for few days now, and as I get older my hands do not work as well.:( Great Video ~Thank You for your time.
muy buenos tus videos, saludos desde paraguay yo tengo una zj 1998 una gran maquina esta trae los frenos a disco los cuatro, pero me fue de gran utilidad tu video un saludo
i cut a hole under carpet .then cut the metal .used a small drill bit to drill thru first checked where it came out then cut a hole with a large hole saw in a drill. now you can see and get to everything. then used sheet metal to make a patch and screwed back in place. may have used a little caulk also. put carpet back in place , worked GREAT !!!1988 cherokee pioneer
