Removing the respective Park Brake Cable from the Park Brake Equalizer was a great tip for reinstalling the cable through the shoe spring. Also, if I had it to do over, I would re-use the original spring set instead of buying a Dorman replacement set. The OE version seemed higher quality and was still in good shape.

This video is far and away the single best ever produced on how to complete this job on this equipment. Excellent production and camera angles where you can see exactly what is being done. Awesome and very helpful hints such as Loosening the parking brake linkage to easier thread the cable and bullet into the spring and arm. I struggled with this job greatly trying to use several other sub par videos as reference. Thankfully stumbled upon this video and it was a game changer. Job finished. I also like the tip at the end on better prefitting the brake drum. Great job guys! Thank you very much.

@themadrooster2454 3 года назад

The video was spot-on made it very simple the only thing I could say is unhook your parking brake first it makes it a lot easier to unhook the bullet head for the parking brake

@billdurham8447 3 года назад

I just did the brake replacement and I'll say that getting the parking brake reconnected under the cab was frustrating. I got my son to pop that bullet back in while pulled the front and rear cables together. It had turned into one of those "need 3 hands tasks."

Great video! One thing that I did differently was to use my straight jaw needle nose in line with the bullet with a jaw on top of it and the other underneath its housing to easily free the E brake cable from the shoe...I really appreciated the tip on popping same cable loose from the junction and pushing it through to gain slack for reassemble. Who da thunk! Thank you!

Your videos are always spot on, and sometimes they literally bring me back from the brink of insanity. The only thing I would suggest on this video is an update to the description. It says 07-13, it should include 06, maybe additional years as well. Your video for 99-06 has rear disk breaks. I'm working on an 06 right now with drums entirely identical to these. Luckily I knew to look at other years to find these drum brakes.

@HR-wd6cw 4 года назад

Good tutorial, but I'd always recommend replacing the springs with new ones. Especially on the drums since on these trucks, the drums don't need to be changed that often (I think most people wouild get about 100-150k out of a set of drums brakes on these trucks because the fronts do most of the braking). It's just a few dollars more but you don't really have to worry about old springs breaking. Just my two cents. I'd rather spend the extra $50 for two new spring and hardware kits than have to go back in there in a year and replace the hardware again later).

@1AAuto 4 года назад

+Heelix Ranier Thanks for the feedback!

@elizabethconcholar8597 Год назад

I got 203,000 miles out of mine. I only replaced all of my hardware because the orange spring distorted during removal and the adjuster was seized, the blue retainer is solid though.

@Abyss0206 5 лет назад

Is there a way to tell what style pads to use without having to take the tire/drum off?

@ls4.8frank 4 года назад

If you are not sure of what brakes you have then the best bet is to remove the brake shoes and drum and take them to the auto parts store or measure them and that will tell you the correct size. Make sure you take pics as you are removing things and replace in reverse order.

@KirkA0906 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video. The big spring is a real pain. I found it easier to remove the worn shoe opposite the parking brake while leaving the big spring on the one with the brake cable, then replace the shoe. Next remove the parking brake shoe and replace it. Doing it like this helps hold the spring in place and made it much easier for me to use the needle nose vice grips I had.

@Sherman62 2 года назад

I'll have to try that next time. On the plus side, if you do want to disassemble the whole thing, I think you could do so in about 10 seconds once the drum is off. I've never seen brakes that come apart so easy. It's just a pain getting it all back together. One thing that helped is squishing the pistons in first thing. Obvious in hindsight.

@ls4.8frank 4 года назад

You should have use brake cleaner to spray down the pad surface area after you got grease and dirt all over them. This will cause some damage to your new drum and brake pad surface. Other than that it is a good video of the removal/install process.
