 Hello boys and girls. Today we do drum breaks on a 2017 Nissan NV200. Now I know a lot of people have trouble with drum breaks. It's easy to forget which spring goes where and a lot of people do this stupid mistake which is take apart both sides at the same time. Do one side at a time. Don't take apart both sides. Do one side, finish it up and use that done side as an example for the other side you're doing. So I'm going to try to make this video as short as possible so you don't have to fast forward to look for the details. I already took this rotor off. I had quite a bit of trouble. Now to tell you if you do, if they don't come off easy, what you do is you can find either a 10 or 12 mil bolts with a thread I believe 8 by 1.25 m8 1.25 like this here. Basically you want to, if you have the option to clean out the threads, clean them out. If not just spray PB Blaster in there or WD40 and just drive two both two at the same time and just keep switching between the two and just drive them in. This will force the drum out. Now if that doesn't work which it didn't in my case, one bolt actually broke off. What you do then you take this off and in there you will see the adjuster wheel. You see that small little thing with the teeth all around? You're gonna take a screwdriver. First you want to look at the thread. There's like a bolt. Look at the thread. See which way the adjuster screws in or screws out. You want to screw it in to bring the shoes closer together so there's room so they make room for you to take the drum off. It gave me quite a bit of trouble and I'll tell you why. First of all the drum did want to come off. The owner of this vehicle waited too long to replace the brake shoes and you can see there's this ridge. It's actually pretty deep and this part did not allow the shoes to clear the drum. So this drum is shut. Look at the shoes they are gone for comparison. This is how it's supposed to look. The braking material is pretty much gone. Look how thin this is. Anyways what gave me trouble was this. See how bent this guy is. So before I took the drum off I took a screwdriver a flat screwdriver and I bent it out because it kept locking up the adjuster. I could not I need to turn it. If you look at it from this side I had to turn it clockwise to screw the adjuster in inside its other other half and this would not allow me to do that. So no worries I can once I get this out I'm just gonna straighten it out and it should be just fine. To be able to take the drum off with no issues you need to screw the adjuster in. For this whole job I'm gonna try and just use three basic tools which are these after you take the wheel off. Long nose vise grips and some pliers. That's it. No special tools necessary. So using the vise grips I'm first gonna take this bottom spring off. Now I'm gonna take this top spring off. Again using the vise grips. Make sure you had breakfast when you do this. Now since I can now you can now we can take this this part off. I'm gonna go fix this be right back. There we go like new. Now since there's room I'm gonna remove this spring that's in the back. This one's actually easy. Now using the same tool I'm gonna remove the springs that hold the shoes in place. So lock it in holding the pin on the other side pushing the cap in and twisting it. There we go spring pin. Now I am reusing all of the hardware. All of it looks good. It's in good condition. No rust or major rust it should hold on. There we go. Now I can take this side shoe off. A lot of brake dust here. So this I'm gonna leave in. Now this side is a bit different because it's got this fun C-clip in there. So now we gotta remove the C-clip. So what I do in this case this is never easy. I take these big pliers okay squeeze it out. So I guess I did not need these other pliers that I got ready. Now I'm gonna spray everything with brake cleaner. Now you see these points here these six of them here that's where the brake shoe slides tiny bit on these points and there was a little bit of grease on here and you can see a bit of rust developing on some of these. So what I do take a little bit of brake caliper grease and apply a tiny bit amount on each point not too much. Also while we're cleaning stuff make sure this is clean as well there's a little bit of grease in here. This guy here I'm gonna unscrew it a bit and just spray brake cleaner here. Okay now I'm gonna apply a little bit of grease on the thread and screw it back in all the way and then back off half a turn or so. Now I'm gonna take the new brake shoe and reinstall this C-clip. So this goes in the back of the shoe so like that so that goes here. C-clip this part's easy and that's it. As far as the cylinder brake what you want to do is push it in at the same time push it in from both sides should be easy enough to do it with your hands. Okay now we're gonna secure this brake shoe. I'm gonna take the cap I'm not sure what to call this but we don't need to know the specific names for different parts to know how to do the job right. Anyways you're just gonna take this don't squeeze too much you want to keep this straight don't bend this. I'm gonna take the pin spring reinstall that so now we don't need to worry about this shoe running away from us. Now I'm gonna take spring that was in the back hook it onto the shoe that's on the left then attach it to the shoe on the right the right shoe and just put it on and we're gonna do the same thing to this shoe. I'm gonna put the spring back in. Okay now this bigger gap goes by the way we're doing rear right side passenger side so this is gonna go in the back. Okay now I'm gonna just move the shoe back make sure this sits nicely against the the wheel. Now once I'm done with installing back the new shoes I kind of eyeball the space here between the shoes and this back plate make sure it's more or less even it just makes adjustment to the drum a bit easier. Don't forget to clean the inside of the drum just like you would your discs or rotors there is oil on the inside of them so it prevents from rusting during transport that's pretty much it see that. Okay it's time to for the drum to go back all the way in make sure it turns now we need to adjust it. So a flat screwdriver so turning in this case counterclockwise which is up using the screwdriver I don't know if you can see this basically grabbing by the teeth and pushing them up and I'm gonna turn the drum we need some resistance okay I'm starting to feel a little bit of resistance now you see I can't turn it it's too much so I'm gonna go down but going down is not as easy as going up okay so you hear that noise that's what you want a little bit of resistance don't forget to take this off of the old drum and reinstall it into the new one and that's it so I hope this video helped you out if it did like the video comment maybe I missed something maybe there's a better way let me know consider subscribing check out my other videos thanks for watching and I'll see you soon
