How to change Drum brakes ***1970 chevelle*** 

Thank you the video helped me alot today doing brakes on my 70 GTO. It's been years since I did drum setup

The inhaling fumes instead of brake dust made me lol! Great humor guys!!

Great video! Thank you guys for taking the time, just did my 67 chevelle

Thanks. I just used this video to do the rear brake on my 72 Lemans. Worked great.

Really appreciate the humble try hard spirit! Great job. Very easy to follow. Got what I was looking for,, and that was the different colored compression springs , where they were placed. Many thanks. kc

finally someone clearly showed the whole assembly. Mine ws missing the E brake arms, which i obtained replacements for, but I wondered how it went together. Thanks!

this is a great video. Well done guys. i have my 69 jacked up now and i am heading out to get the tools for changing out emergency brake and springs etc. I wish i had this beside me while doing the job.

Nice video, really motivates me to work on my Chevelle once the weather clears up.

Enjoyed informational video .

That diff fluid was pretty clean when it drained out.

Good stuff

Great job on training

Always wear ppe…. Unless you’re a professional

Hey, the orientation of the shoes isn't optional or a personal preference. The shorter one goes towards the front of the car. Good video though!

Decent video. Aside from the music.

Good video. Just did a 69 camaro and it was so rusty when I took it apart there was no use taking pics. Used this video to get it back together. Thanks

Thanks bro

We're did you get the hardware kit from.

Non Mechanic here- I've had 4 shops tell me "If you buy the complete kit- we'll do the job" I was a locksmith- long hauler- and a factory rat- but never a self proclaimed "mechanic".. So I need so help... I went on Amazon- to buy a "complete drum brake kit"- never knew there were so many variations- growing up friend would just walk in and " buy stuff to do their brakes" no big deal- that was 50 years ago.... On amazon- I typed in my car - 1948- then Pontiac- then Streamliner or Silver Streak. and damn- I thought 1-3 choices would pop up... -- I was going to order new drums- but again too many variations --- Any way you can help- I was told- I do not need to get a new master cylinder- or brake lines- just a complete kit to do a complete brake job...I can't try and do the job myself- because at 70- I just don't bend that easy anymore....Oh, I was going to order from Kanter- they only have 2 choices- but would take a lot longer to get...

THE BRAKE PADS R TWO DIFFERENT SIZES DOES THE LARGE ONE FACE FORWARD OR BACKWARD

You used the wrong cylinders, those are 7/8 bore for 4 wheel drum brakes. Should of installed 15/16ths bore since your setup is drum/disc. You even proved it to yourself when comparing the parts (they look different). The short/long shoe is not optional on direction short one to the front. Anti seize shouldn't be used behind the shoes, and you should grease the pins so it doesnt tear the rubber seals. Your friend doesn't know what hes doing.

Anti seize is not a good idea on brake jobs. It drys out from heat and things don't slide like they have too.

Not a fan of the crazy camera and hyperbolic branding at the beginning. Sorry.
