Well mate that was first class. Ever part of video was so clear an very well explained. The last time I played with brake shoes was in the early 70s..But the only thing missing is how to adjust brake shoes to the drum .There used to be holes with a grommet in you could take out and using a screwdriver adjust them perfectly. How does the shoes self adjust to the drum..
Mate, $150-$250 to do a brake job at a garage, I rang one mob just for curiosity, $600 bucks Min, then the shop talk ABS etc, he finished with around $1200-1500 but that also depended on the model! They would have installed all the cheapest generic parts and tell the 'Customer' they used genuine parts! Thanks mate, for your vids, & uga duga, no need for a tourque wrench
Thanks very much , one trap is not resetting the auto self adjust and you wont be able to fit hubs .quoted cost in ripoff nz $750 to replace rear shoes only , I did it for $48nz plus my time . Cheers !!
Thanks for that video hav to do the change at weekend. The left Brake is stocked, think the pad came loosen and blocked the wheel fully. Will report when done.
Can you please do a tutorial on how to replace a thermostat for suzuki swift 2007? I'm very desperate as the only video I found was in foreign language and sub. Bad quality and not good enough camera angles
Bad drum break leathers cause abs light to turn as my swift abs lights on and off some time and obd2 sensor shows error of both rear left right sensor i didn't understand whats an issue can you please suggest me something
Try looking under the right back floor trim that's where all the wires run sometimes the wire might brake just re join them if so Or replace the both right and left side the new ones always come with ready fitted brackets Hope that helps
Thanks for this helpfull video. I will have to change my Ignis’ brakes next weeked. Did you just turn the handbrake lever down? Or do also have to loosen up the cable?
Hoping someone can help me - the girlfriend had her Swift in for an MOT and Service recently, the print out after the service said the rear drum brakes weren't inspected. Should they have been? I'd have assumed a service would need to check the brakes regardless of if they are discs or drums.
Cheers most times service will check the handbrake adjustment, The back breaks don't work 50.50 with front brakes some vehicles are 80.20 so no drama if they're worn-out
jesus that`s a bull way of having to remove the damn thing on a swift :-s .. ty for the video, was about to go out and do it .. thinking it`s like any rear brake .. but noo no .. ty
Hi Mate, good to see Aussie blokes on you tube. Working on this identical Suzuki, just up to 100k, ,2015 model), is it necessary to replace timing chain, also cooling expansion tank is always at half level, no obvious external signs of coolant leakage or overheating, with cooler climate in Melb, temp gauge always shows good (half guage), any advice Thanks, Jerry
Cheers JP for watching It is best to replace the timing chain if needed .they generally don't brake but the adjuster wears out Sounds like the header tank / overflow bottle is working fine if it's running hot from time to time or to cold change the thermostat Hope it helps
