Just spend a couple bucks to save yourself a major hassle & waste of time on the springs…
#1 step is to wear a mask, this dust shit causes cancer so don't mess around. Never skimp out on Brakes, especially drums which you service like 1-2 times over the life of the car. Just doesn't make sense to risk screwing up for a couple bucks, always replace the cylinders (this way you bleed the old fluid, which is critical). Dab copper anti-seize at the contact points to eliminate annoying noises. Only buy the best brands for the drum, shoes & springs/hardware!
(Replace brake fluid at least every 2-3 yrs, the fluid absorbs water and rusts from inside while creating air bubbles/ worse stopping. If your rubber brake lines are 10+ yrs old replace those too, it's easy)
Hey Chris. Where did you get your drum brake tool set from?
For some reason the brake drum is sliding back on! I replaced everything, including the back plate…the adjuster is at its lowest also, I can't seem to compress the brakes any tighter….any insight please!??
I'd sure hate to schtrip the nut.
Parking brake on or off when adjusting the drum brakes?
Chris, What makes me love these brake videos even more is the fact I just picked up a 2000 Ford Ranger and these apply exactly to what I’m doing. Thanks for the content.
My horseshoe shaped handbrake clips didn’t come off in any way as easy as yours. Mine had been around a bit I think.
The longer one always goes in the rear :3
Do brake drums need to be balanced? Im getting a vibration around 65mph but is fine under 60
You discuss it very nice and clear. Thanks
I remember I tried this. The pin wouldn't fit through the hole no matter what I tried. Had to take it somewhere to get them done.
Will doing this repair a squishy break pedal? I bought a used truck and I think the pedal is like that bc i was told there is a leak in the brake cylinder. Also the e break doesn’t work at all, it goes with no resistance while stepping on it. Any ideas?
You make it look so easy ive been out here for 2 weeks
Thanks Chris. I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra and I hit a pothole so when I took the tire off the left shoe was loose because the pin with the spring fell off. I brought it to a shop they wanted $400 to replace the shoes and lied and said I need a new piston. I went to a junkyard in for $1.91 I was able to fix it
Four year later and still no drum to disc brake conversion. Lolol. Sorry! Love you ChrisFix! ❤️
couldnt you also just use a phillips head screwdriver to put the springs on?
Chrisfix will be the First Man on Mars!
City hall: Chris do you have any ideas to make this City cleaner?
Chris: have you tried brake cleaner
Hey what’s up man I have a question I went over a pothole basically a series of potholes on this horrible road in my town. Even though I was going pretty slow it still felt horrible on my 2001 Nissan Sentra. Now my back driver side tire is making like a weird grinding sound sometimes A clunking sound. it’s usually only if I’m driving really slow, or backing up. It’s quiet if I apply the breaks. Any idea what it could be?
fantastic video ,regard from Croatia
