In this video I'll show you how to install new drum brakes. From drum brake removal to installation. There are a lot of springs, levers, and such making this look more complicated than it is. Let me show you how I do it. Most car and automotive drum brakes will be slightly different but still very much the same premise.

You are the best!!! I did my drum brakes for the first time last night. When ever I got stuck I looked at your video, and BAM not stuck anymore. Thank you a million times!

@bleepinjeep 9 лет назад

Olivia Payne no problem, thanks for watching!

@DKessler340 9 лет назад

Wow, without the spring tools doing this video is a real accomplishment!! That's not easy. THANK YOU!!! I haven't done drum brakes in 35-years so this was a great refresher course,

I never changed drum brakes before on my Jeep Cherokee and watched your video twice and it was a piece of cake. Thanks. Now I have to watch your video on how to replace the wheel cylinder because mine is leaking.

@bijanghofranian5782 7 лет назад

BleepinJeep, Good job explaining, nice video, thank you. Last time I did drum breaks was in 90's when I had a Toyota Corolla. But now need to replace them on a 2011 Jeep Compass. They are a real pain.

@rusty-ole-boomstick1268 4 года назад

Matt Thanks for the information, my 04 TJ wrangler rear passenger side blew a lower retaining spring and a cylinder while driving on our mountain roads, thank God for manual transmission for down shifts. I usually take pictures before teardown, your cinematography really got us through a unappealing job. I only cursed 5 times, I think. Cheer brother.

@tellitlikeitis1828 2 года назад

It also helps to remove the other wheel and drum so you can have a look-see at what the tarnation is goin’ on in there. They did that before cell phones I’m thinkin’! Several 2004 TJ owners in this comment section...Love that rig!

@craigomatic627 9 месяцев назад

I’ve never dealt with drum brakes before and this def helped . It looks easier without an axle in but I wasn’t about to pull mine just to see easier . But I just noticed the top separator fork thing was re installed upside down sir but maybe it doesn’t matter ? Either way I’ve always been a fan of your videos and appreciate the time you take to make them !

@JToddEmytravels 6 месяцев назад

I don't know who this kid is in the video, but he did a great job! 😁

@Rallen9900 6 лет назад

I appreciate this video, you might wanna change your leaky cylinder though and flip that cylinder support bar right side up! Always use lube too, never go into a job dry! Good luck in space with yer fancy astronaut gear and whatnot

@metalmoto 8 лет назад

Always buy the brake parts kit. As often the springs will fly off somewhere, and you'll never find it! Those special tools do make the job much easier... Also do one side at a time, so you can use the other side as a reference, if you can't remember how it goes back together! I am so looking forward to putting new shoes on my 02 Jeep Liberty. My luck, that 02 was the only year to use drum brakes... Thanks for posting

@bleepinjeep 8 лет назад

+metalmoto good tips!

@dolphfan64 3 года назад

You the man !! My first drum brake job and this video helped immensely. And the one your working on is identical to mine. Well, except you did the wrong side lol. I started on the driver side first. Same thing though just in reverse. :-) 2004 wrangler here and your videos are, as always, super helpful. I also appreciate you did the job with regular hand tools, I did get the specialty tools, line wrench, brake pliers, and such. Less than 30 bucks at harbor fre ight. Made the job easier for sure.

@iansmellis 10 лет назад

Glad to see I am not the only one to have such trouble with them.

@zacjason1610 5 лет назад

Love that I just took my 2004 jeep to the shop cause I didn’t have time to replace my brakes myself and they charged me $130 for rear rotors. Left a shock loose, and cross threaded a lug it leaving it halfway on. The rear brakes are drums.

@jewllake 9 лет назад

I'd use vice grip pliers on the springs. Also I'd have cleaned it all off with brake clean or simple green and water before reassembly. Also, you should put high temp lithium grease, or anti seize on the backing plate where the brake shoes come in contact. And you should pull back on the rubber boot of the wheel cylinder to make sure it is dry. The boot is not a seal, just a cover. The real seal is behind the metal pistons.

@Hubjeep 9 лет назад

+jewllake I use Vice-Grips too. Now that I am looking at drum brake videos, it looks like many people use the screwdriver, stretch method.

@robertsmtn 7 лет назад

just as I am old enough to have done a lot of these. when you finish putting everything back together, put the wheel back on and spin it while you are tightening the adjuster down. When the wheel locks, turn the aduster back to where the wheel is just free and your brakes are adjusted.

@thewoodsman45 9 лет назад

Thanks for the vid! Just finished my rear shoe replacement. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

@bleepinjeep 9 лет назад

thewoodsman45 awesome, glad to hear it!

@mvy40 4 года назад

With a hook made from a coat hanger and a pair of vise-grips, those big springs on top can be pulled off/on relatively easy. Remove the retaining pins before prying the shoes to release the bar. Use never-seize sparingly on the adjuster threads.

@dokyaraujo 11 лет назад

cool explanation. I also have rear brake drums and everytime I go offroading on Mud, they get in pretty bad shape

@robknipp9414 3 года назад

These are 9 inch brakes. From what I know they are on 8.25 Chrysler rear ends and 10 inch are on Dana 35's.

@martymartin2009 9 лет назад

Matt, the video was a big help when I did my wrangler. I did notice one thing beside the cross member being upside down. Take a look at the cable and the little triangular piece. In other videos it shows the cable going on after the retaining piece. Let me know your thoughts.

@dookjr 6 лет назад

The triangle piece fits on the stud before the cable. Then the cable with the crimp side facing you. Flat side of cable ring against triangle piece.

@adrw1116 5 лет назад

You can get the top Springs off with a pair of pliers or vise grips and that gives you more control so they don't pop off in your eye but I like your videos keep doing what you're doing

@earthtoapollo439 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this. Never done drums before and this was a huge help

@Gerald-GK 11 лет назад

thanx for your Videos ! But the smal cable is part of the self adjusting System, not the emergancy brake ;) To push down the small springs that hold the shoes in place I take a ring plier and for removing and installing the strong springs that push the shoes together I take a grip wrench(locking pliers) to be sure not to hurt myself ;)

@elizabethmunro1253 7 лет назад

P.S. 3. Clean the 3 hard points that the backing plate has that the shoes rest on and LUBRICATE THEM. 4. Lubricate the STAR adjuster. Otherwise your brakes won't set right.

@johnniemo 4 года назад

This was a great video. Great lighting and great composition. It was easy to follow. The only thing that mixed me up was the parking brake. You didn’t address it and I did not put the parking brake “lever” through the shoe the first time. Luckily I caught it on the second one.

@andrewbetts8282 9 лет назад

Hands down best drum brake video on the entire interwebs. Thanks a bunch!

@user-bl3jw4bo3r 9 лет назад

there's a part that goes horizontally just above the axle, between the shoes to hold them apart. I wanna call it a "spreader". At the beginning of the video, the spreader was set up so the hump was "UP"... at the end of the video when you put it back in, the hump was "down". Probably doesn't make any difference on a cosmic scale but Im just sayin. Watch the picture at 2:40 vs 11:40. Mysteriously finds its way wrong side up :) --- wow. I just noticed that by putting the time in the description, creates a link and takes you to that point in the video. Fucking fantastic!

The little cable pieces is part of the self-adjuster. Most likely they dont work anyway due to age. I always just threw it away and manually adjusted the brakes. Makes its much more simple.

Travis how is it simply to constantly adjust your brakes every few weeks rather than the car constantly adjusting for you?

LOL hopefully for 10 years people haven't been re-installing the forked bar with the spring upside down! So at 4:46 is pre tear down, and from 11:45 to the end is re-installation state. Not sure if it effects functionality. So how did it work upside down?

@dmoore319 3 года назад

Great video. I have done the drum brakes on my Cherokee many times and have always hated drum brakes. Can't understand why car manufacturers used them after discs were created. Should have been a gov mandate to make all vehicles with discs. Anyone who knows about vehicles would gladly pay a lil extra for a vehicle with discs.

@user-bl3jw4bo3r 9 лет назад

ok heres whats happenin with mine... the small plate that stops the adjustment wheel from rotating backwards... its not working. I even bought a KIT with a new wheel and plate but for some reason the plate does not want to hold tight against the adjustment wheel, hence the shoes never extend out to where there supposed to be. The good news is that I never need rear brakes because they never contact the drums... the bad news, is I have to stop a week ahead of time. Any Bleepin suggestions? thanks.

@Tiocfaidh_ar_la_ 9 лет назад

Matt at bleepin jeep with the zombie jeep, I got an 89 cherokee pioneer with drums on the rear and was looking to see if there was a way to replace it with disc and if so the pros and cons. Can you help me out?

@SeekTruthinLight 5 лет назад

The new shoes I bought from autozone did not have the pin that holes the brake adjusting plate and spring on at the bottom left. It appears that the small pin needs to be pressed in by the mechanic. And apparently the pin is what failed, allowing for the adjusting plate to fall off and land in the bottom of the drum which scored it up.. Planned obsolescence or idiocy?

@PhotocandyHD 6 лет назад

The e brake lever wasn't a part of this video. I had to take it all of to put it behind the bar and pad.

@dsnicker9719 3 года назад

Are you kidding me??? Taking the springs off like that??? Get the proper tools, for heaven's sake!

@Thepreacher1960 7 месяцев назад

You are right. There are specific tools for the job but this more for people who are not professional and dont want to invest in a tool they will use once. It can be done with non specific tools...just bit harder.

@mattandkayla9674 9 лет назад

@thebiggs1469 4 года назад

As a truck mechanic I’ve never done hydraulic drum brakes. But I’ve done air drum brakes many times, the difference is they have an S-cam that actuates the pads. For dealing with the springs I made my own tool. Got a pry bar and cut a wedge in the middle, very good at gripping the spring.

How hard is to access the four bolts keeping the drum on the axle with the axle actually being there? I'm changing my drums for another pair and it seems easy enough in this video, but I'd rather not take the axle out.

10 лет назад

bleepinjeep Sorry, I meant axle and axle shaft. In this video we can see the four bolts that keep the drum attached to the axle (around the axle hole) but that's because the axle shaft is not there. Can the whole drum be taken out with the shaft installed? Thanks!

@Willgtl 5 лет назад

Sometimes to remove the shoe retainer springs you can put a little pressure on them and just turn it by hand, and for reassembly, it's easier to grip the slotted washer with a pair of channel locks, as you can turn the retainer more easily. And for the return springs, you really should be using a brake tool. You're prone to bending the shit out of them by prying them off with a screw driver. And lastly, you did not lubricate any contact points on the backing plate, nor metal-on-metal contact points on the parts, and most importantly, you didn't refresh the grease in the star adjuster.

@bign8580 5 лет назад

That cable IS NOT for the emergency brake at 5:50 mark. It is for the self adjuster that is what it is for ! he calls it emergency brake piece again at 13:10 again, But it is your self adjusting cable. And you should always put new shoes on, As you have it apart now. Way do it again. Change them now and save your time for something else...

@hisdukeness3037 9 лет назад

Beat it off. The drum off... Not yourself

@Willgtl 5 лет назад

Before whacking the drum (They're cast, they can break), make sure the brake adjuster is backed off enough so your shoes aren't pressing against the drum. There's a little slot on the bottom of the backing plate where you can insert a brake spoon which allows you to turn the star adjuster and back off the brakes.

@Texaca 9 лет назад

if they had a large head, or a Knob on the back of the "Hold-Down Pin", it would be easy just to turn the Pin from the rear, while you're pushing in on the damn Freakin retainer Springs. Why hasn't someone come up with a better design, or an aftermarket one. I hate Rear Brake Drum brakes..

@ryanrogers88 7 лет назад

It doesn't matter whether it's upside down or right side up, the only thing that matters with this bar (actually called the parking brake strut) is that the fork on one side (the side without the spring) is wider than the other in order to fit over both the shoe body & the parking brake actuating lever.

@rishardlampese8947 7 лет назад

I think the piece has the bump-out facing up by design to help support the wheel cylinder. If so, then it would seem to matter.
