2005 Toyota Corolla - Rear Brake Shoes and Drum Replacement

[@stephenajones4438]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Much appreciated. I would say that it would be helpful to have a little more light on the subject and to show close ups of the connection springs and the pad adjuster. Remember, most people who came to watch this video haven't a clue as to how these brakes are assembled. Just like myself. Thanks again for taking the time.

[@kristopherdetar4346]

Perfect instructional video. Thank you. It’s been 40 years since I did any brake shoe replacement.

[@billyd8084]

GREAT vid. Complete, precise and with absolutely NO drama. Wish they all were like this. You make a complicated task look easy which lends to confidence . THANKS.

[@davidfalgout7304]

YES VERY GOOD.... I would have cleaned off the back plate before installing new shoes, and applied some synthetic brake grease to backplate so that shoe movement would not wear on back plate. Other than that a really good explanation!! THANK YOU!

[@davidg5704]

Great explanation for the rear brake job. Always nice to have a refresher. Tighten a lug nut or 2 before adjusting star wheel helped make sure drum was seated. Grease the bumps on backing plate too.

[@DantheFixitMan]

No problem, Thx for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@robertjohnson4401]

Clean the backing plate with brake clean spray before you put the new brake shoes on. Lube the six flats where the shoes contact the backing plate with brake grease. Star-wheel should be disassembled, cleaned and lubed with brake grease on both ends.

Excellent video. I learned some new tricks and you saved me a lot of time and profanity! Thank you!

[@johnyates8807]

Videos like this with real-life tricks are fantastic! And extremely time saving. Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[@4KVideoTours]

Awesome thanks! I might pull the wheel bearing assembly which easily comes off and temporarily re-bolt the backing plate with some spare nuts and bolts to firmly hold it in place just to give me a little more wiggle room since it’s my first time. I recently replaced a wheel bearing assembly and thought pulling it off could make it easier. 😀👍🏼

[@kaliguy47]

I like the two turn w/ tire tip!

[@gueroeloteroman6322]

With the parking brake applied?

[@damienbell3155]

Great video , 👏👏👏. Thanks for putting these out for everyone.

[@DantheFixitMan]

Thx Damien! You’re welcome! Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@fireyourrocketts]

Good tutorial. I would have used brake cleaner before working on the parts; also it is recommended to replace the hardware with brake shoes replacements by manual, the little horseshoe clip goes out easier if you do it first thing before taking the brake shoes out. Thanks for the video.

[@alexkunzelman5825]

Top notch .. that was everything in a nut shell. Very good thanks for the video

[@mitchelldavis3846]

I changed my drum brakes and everything visually looked fine. When I started driving I heard a slight clicking noise coming from the brakes at first. The next day I heard them again but just on the passenger side after a short drive. Could this just be from the self adjuster?

[@DantheFixitMan]

Hi Mitchell, Yes, it’s possible that it is the self adjuster, or a spring or the shoes may not have been seated all the way on the backing plate mount. If you take the drum off again, you should be able to figure it out. Sometimes the metal adjuster doesn’t want to seat fully in the notch of the brake shoes as well. Best of luck to you. Let us know if you get it figured out. Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@Umar_Razzaq]

I have a 2007 corolla, just changed the brake pads in the back and put the tire back on, but when i now press the brakes its very loose and feels like its not applying brakes and also makes a noise from break pedal. Could it be the adjuster that i missed adjusting in the end? Because i left the adjuster all the way closed to get the roter on easily. Please advise.

[@Mikegee92]

Same.. did you ever figure it out?

[@jirojosephesman8175]

thx for the video... I change mine but there was a noise I don't know why..any help ...only when I brake..thx for your kindness... God bless

[@DantheFixitMan]

You might have got something wrong with the springs, and/or adjustment. I would suggest lifting the rear of the vehicle and spinning the wheels manually (with the parking brake off) to isolate the noise, and then take the drum off to have a closer look. Hope you can get it figured out. Good luck! Thanks, Dan the Fix it Man

[@Whaleseaworld123]

Dan the Fix it Man mine make a crunch sound in my rear brake and when i put on the emergency brake can u help me out what u think the problem

[@kennye6090]

You are good at what you do brother but i will let a mechanic do my backs the fronts my buddy and i did them thanks

[@DantheFixitMan]

Thanks Ken, Not a bad idea to have a mechanic do the brakes if you're not comfortable with it. Glad to hear you got the front brakes done on your own. Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@sergejpanov5543]

Someone I heard saying 1 revolution is good, you are saying 2 revolutions are good for brake adjustment. Where is your source of information?

[@drboomx397]

Need lightning too dark

[@johanvangelderen6715]

Filmed in a black coal mine Can't see much.

[@kccleary9202]

Lighting, lighting, lighting. This is a very good video in the explanation of what to do, but I can't really see how it is done. Good effort though.

[@jigglypuffwags9406]

U saved us time

[@alfredoocastro1154]

thank you boss i did it you are the best

[@DantheFixitMan]

Thanks Alfredo! Glad you liked my video. Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@GunsOfTheWest]

Very helpful! Thanks!!

[@TheGoodnews1411]

Ty

[@TheBestOrion]

Thanks bud 👍 diggin the flip flops 😁

[@neckchopman]

Do I have to wear flip flops when I change my breaks?

[@jimnoyb1209]

you got grease all over the new pads. what about a bit of anti seize on the rum points on the rear of the drum plate.

[@peter-pg5yc]

nice way to do it..

[@manueljurado2384]

Thanks for the video great help nice!!!!

[@billwiesen3231]

Excellent!!

[@TaylorZ2]

Shouldn't you grease back plate when putting on new shoes?

[@DantheFixitMan]

Yes, That’s a good idea.

[@billkeithchannel]

Can you make it any darker? Great audio tutorial.

[@foxlake02]

You need to know if this Corolla was made in the US or made in Japan to order brake pads. The brakes are different on them. VIN number starting with a 1,2 or 3 is US made. VIN number starting with a J was made in Japan.

[@DantheFixitMan]

Great info, thanks for posting on here. Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@AnthonyHarris-mz4no]

1, 4, or 5 is US made. 2 is Canada and 3 is Mexico

[@58gennaro]

OMG, i think i went blind trying to see this.

[@jacobvanover2791]

What could I use instead of the brake spring tool?

[@felixantoinelauzon1004]

A long nose plier should do it.

[@peter-pg5yc]

needle noe vise grips

[@leolacambra4713]

Specify the name of the special tools buddy and where we can buy them. Tried looking at amazon and ebay and cant find them without their names. Thanks

[@mitsuevo8mr]

great video!!!! thanks!!! keep em coming.

[@boonebridger1674]

i realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online ?

[@beaujamie2661]

@Boone Bridger Lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@rogeliosalvador7857]

@Beau Jamie Definitely, I have been using FlixZone for since april myself :)

[@boonebridger1674]

@Beau Jamie Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !!

[@beaujamie2661]

@Boone Bridger You are welcome xD

[@jirojosephesman8175]

only the right side its a loud sound...I did the left but it was OK..thx again

[@briankalungazile7659]

jirojoseph esman my Car also the bearing is making noise the rear left side

[@crazydudect1]

Is this the same for a 2014 Corolla?

[@jasonlewis460]

Jeffrey Hamm Yes, same thing toyota went stupid and cheap. Instead of Disc they added that annoying shoe horse. Be patient, i just did it.

[@jasonlewis460]

Brian All 2015 and up Toyota Corolla have disc brakes. Just check them out. You will be surprise how Toyota is trying save money now. But Drum brakes and disc brakes is a bad and not a safe balance for braking

[@jasonlewis460]

Brian All automobile companies are in the market for saving money. Toyota is notorious about saving money this is why the Toyota Corolla has like 4 version. Which is just sad to the consumer. Speaking about Shoes Vs Disc Pads. Disc brakes are by more efficient to work on. This has been proven, Many DIY enthusiast would prefer to work on Disc brakes instead. The stopping distance has been also proven but for regular drivers they won't even feel the difference. Toyota Corolla drivers are not braking at 100 + mph

[@ChiNguyen-wf1qt]

Was the parking brake cable was on the left shoe when you remove it?

[@michellehyles4230]

No

[@michellehyles4230]

On the driver side the parking brake cable is on the right on the passenger side the parking brake cable is on the left

[@genericusername1365]

It goes on the rearward shoe on both the driver and passenger sides.

[@scootah0lic]

Appreciate the video but if you're going to mention tools why not at least mention their names or even a link on where to purchase? That would be most helpful.

[@DantheFixitMan]

I put the links to the specialty tools in the description. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@marciaw9123]

ok but really dark and hard to see the top springs with your hands in the way and very little light

[@WeBuildStuff]

Did you release your own video on this yet?

[@travisbryant8567]

Curious why no brake grease was applied to the 6 points on the back side of the shoes. This can sometimes cause noise. Otherwise nice video.

[@limitlesspursuit]

Where can I find this tool!?

[@DantheFixitMan]

Hi Jack, Links are in the description. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@matttrotta57]

I wish you would of had lots more light.

[@TheJk9091]

Good video if you hav night vision goggles

[@BEY.007]

What size is the shoe?

[@genericusername1365]

Toyota part number is 04495-02050 for the sedan with LE trim, auto trans, and 1ZZFE engine.

[@princetony5916]

But why does it some time make noise

[@bitmi7227]

Why the hell would they make brakes like these lol seem like a royal pain in the tucus

[@jacklavelle1067]

[@Evillt1]

[@8668-p4m]

[@Gusmade2108]
