Drum Brakes a Quick Look
Loading...
Uploaded by EricTheCarGuy on Aug 13, 2009
Here is a brief overview of the basic set up and operation of drum brakes. I've had a couple of requests for this one and I'm happy to address those questions here. I will be making a longer version of this video that will eventually be for sale on the ETCG website. This video will not only cover the operation but it will also cover brake shoe replacement. As always you can visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com which is now slightly smaller for those of you with smaller viewing screens.

@kid2703 Perhaps at some point but the videos I make are based on what comes into the shop and I like to have examples when I can.

hi dude, could you tell me if the brake cylinders pistons are supposed to move equally with the shoe off?

@Mastikno1 That's not really how you check them, as long as they move you should be fine just make sure they aren't leaking.
EricTheCarGuy 2 months ago
@Mastikno1 Probably not, that's not a valid test, just verify that both pistons can move by pushing them inward, you run the risk of popping the pistons out doing it the way you describe.

I saw this after changing my moms front discs and pads and I just drove it straight over to my mechanic and had a burger and a beer at the diner down the street $125 well spent
