the only thing I didn't see the man do was clean everything off with brake cleaner like the new drums because they have oil on them and rite before you put the high temp on everything else looks legit
@madmax2069 I did them yesterday on a 94', and they didn't have the c-clip. The spring for the emergency lever was not like in this video. The adjuster clip has a different shape in one end too.
THIS DIDN'T WORK AT ALL.. IT IS SO VAGUE BECAUSE IT'S ALL IN THE FRONT.. THE VIEW TO THE SPRINGS IN THE BACK ARE LIMITED.. ALL I GOT FROM THIS VIDEO WAS A BENT EMERGENCY BRAKE SPRING AND A SPRING THAT I MESSED UP TRYING TO PUT IN THE HOLE.. THANKS
Sounds like you should not be working on drums. They are more complex. If your confused, pay to have them replaced. Its great for people that need images to put them back together.
@crj19851985 are you kidding? what more do u want from the guy, u want him to come change ur brakes for u? This is the most detailed tutorial you'll find, if u have anything better i'd love to see it. Thanx for the amazing tutorial happywrenching.
Thank you so much for this! I looked everywhere and could not find a decent tutorial. No way I am paying a shop $300 for doing my brakes when I can do it myself only spending about $60 in parts. You are my hero!
Thank You So Much for the video!!! Changed the rear shoes on my 03 Protege. You made it look too easy!!! Spent about an hour on each side compared to your 8 minutes! Those springs & clips can get a little tricky! Once again Thanks!!!
thank you so much for this vdieo...my bro needed help on this exact car and we got it done.. it seemed that drums are the worst to handle but when its explained the right way like you did its all the difference. again thanks for the help. nothing like doing it urself these days
you can insert a bolt on the drum to push the drum off by screw it in, you don't need to use a hammer or a ply bar.
Using an impact driver will take those countersunk bolt off(again, not screw) without much issue, if you manage to stripe those out, you'll end up drilling them out.
first thing to do once the drum is off is spray down the darn thing with a brake cleaner, all the brake dust will get everywhere if you don't.
great video! can you make more for the 99 protege

@ivanmacri74 The Protege in the video has the 1.8 but the rear drum brakes are the same 99 - 2003, regardless of the engine size.

@crj19851985 - Vague??? Are you watching the same video as I am? This video shows everything step by step - it doesn't get any clearer than that.

Hey, not to sound too stupid but do you have any advice for taking the drum off... I've read somewhere you can use an 8mm bolt or screw
