@95camaro69 Thanks VERY much - I put my lower spring back on the same way he did and it was very loose it almost fell out and I knew it was wrong. Thought I got wrong springs, so put the old one back in and same thing. I was racking my frickin' brain out trying to figure out what I did wrong and was about to heat and bend the spring to make it shorter... Thanks for pointing that out, greatly appreciated! Mike

@95camaro69 you are correct. When I removed mine the lower spring was covered in muck due to a leaking brake cylinder. So I took the videos verbal instruction because I could not remove the other side without a torch. As you know it was incorrect. The other side also had the spring from Ford in the oblong hole as the video showed but not described. Good job catching that!

ummm have anybody else noticed that he didn't put the lower spring back on right? if you watch very carefully you will notice that the spring is hooked into the far left hole when he reinstalls the same spring he did not use the correct hole instead he used the hole that was just to the right of were he should have hooked it....

had to go to hammer town today too. now i got all the parts and need to put it back together. what a bastard. i scrapped that drum, but knew it was shot. hell the whole thing was shot. filled with a nice rust slurry from all the brake fluid. it was very much like mud.

I'm glad I found this video. You just saved me about a hundred dollars.

I just finished my brakes after watching this video. Thank you. I had a little problem getting the drum off but it was easer after I backed the shoes off with the star adjuster. I also wish I had bought better quality spring pliers. Do not skimp in this area. I always wonder if my car is gonna work properly after I work on it! FINGERS CROSSED! :)

Do you have to bleed the brakes after or not?

I'm a girl and thanks to this video i was able to do my own drum brakes, had a lil trouble w/the bottom spring but i worked it out ;)

Stuck Emergency Brake Drum Removalby ifitjams39,570 views
I love how easily the drum came off. This Taurus must be from a warm climate, because in any areas that are prone to rust from salt, that drum would have been seized on there good. It would have needed a good hammering to break free.

Disc Brakes FTW! I hate drum brakes, way too many springs have flow at me in the past for me to like them.
