My wife has drums for her rear brakes on her 2015 Mirage and the first time I tried to change out the brake shoes it was very difficult. I don't how many swear words in the Apache Language came out of my mouth on that day. But I am glad I finally found a helpful video to get the job done. Thanks for making this tutorial, you rock!

Mitsubishi is a Japanese based car where parts used in the car is unorthodox compared to US manufacturered cars, where more universal and common parts are used. There's a few knacks to how the Mitsubishi is put together and that makes it a pain in the ass to work on.

The only thing you need to do it’s adjust the self adjusting part to the more close position, and it will fit the drum, no need to file the breaks, if you do, you run the risk of the break adjustment over extend and the breaks will fail. Be careful with the miss information you find o you tube.

Bro this is exactly what the issue is with my new reybestos shoes and drums on my 2003 civic. I've spent hours trying to figure out where the problem was. Thanks for posting up this video and tip. 👍

I freaking love this. It definitely tells me I am so not equipped to do the drums on my friend's car. I also love you for the fact that you did make a little mistake (when you took everything out to try to make it easier to re-attach the bottom spring) and dropped springs, etc. and you didn't edit it out. If I hadn't seen that and I tried this, i probably would have done the same and fought with it to get it back on instead of leaving things on and just using the pliers. You are fantastic.

I just wanted to comment here. I used brakebest brand from Oreilley's and compared them to the old brakes, and they were a perfect match. You might want to try doing that with whatever brakes you've bought for the mirage. That said, it was very difficult to get the drum back on after installation. The brake adjuster they use is not the greatest design. I cannot compare other brands, but I feel that it is possible that people assume the brakes are the incorrect size even though they are in fact correct. My experience cannot offer you much help because in reality, I had to take a screwdriver and pry on the adjuster AFTER everything was installed to try and get it to the most open position without it coming apart. Then I had to move things around to try and get it perfectly centered over and again until the drum finally slipped on. There is no full proof solution to doing it right, but it CAN be done, and just takes a bit of finagling. I wouldn't start grinding down parts until you've at least confirmed that the brakes you've bought aren't identical in size to the original. I also loosened the e-brake bolt which is under the panel aft the rear seat cup holder. It's 10mm and lefty loosie or counter clockwise. I feel that most brands are probably the correct size, but these drum brakes are a real pain. Drum brakes are always a pain, and I have done around a dozen different ones in my life. I will say that at least the springs are overall easier to assemble in this design than most though. It took me about 3 hours, but I did have to run to the parts store twice to get grease, and then to buy a pin that holds the shoe to the e-brake assembly as when I removed it, it sprung off into the grass nearby lol. I just don't want people grinding down their brake parts when they don't have to. Maybe there are ones that are the wrong size, but after my experience with getting these back on, I think it is just as likely (if not more) that you have the correct size brakes, but need to spend some extra time trying to get everything adjusted and lined up.

Not many people know about drum brake's anymore. Most guy's grow up around 4 wheel disc brakes. Rear drum brakes are a rarity nowadays.

Good tip, it is the same thing with the serpentine belt, the new one is always short, and you have to use a ratchet and turn the crank to roll on the belt.

@@RBTheMechanic I forgot to update. Your point about new shoes not fitting proved true. We did a mix of grinding as you demonstrated and filing down the brake linings to make it work. I suspect that if we went OEM or equivalent instead of AZ, then maybe we wouldn't have had the problem. I also tried to make sure the adjusters were set all the way in.

@stanshingler Жыл бұрын

Just a heads up for those doing this; you want to remove the axle nut S L O W L Y if you plan on reusing it. No impact gun. This is because the nut will lose its ability to stay locked in place if it heats up too much while being removed. Mitsubishi manual states no more than 8 turns per minute. Great video otherwise!

@seth3071 11 ай бұрын

Do you tighten the axel bolt to a specific torque? Does it matter?

Grinding the brakes is not necessary. The crossmember at the top has an adjuster on it. Just adjust that until they fit properly.

@reparacionesconroger 14 күн бұрын

Exactly no need to grind the breaks and the adjuster, that will cause the self adjustment part to over extend and the breaks will fail.

That's so weird that the slack adjuster is made that way. Every other company you just unscrew the slack adjuster and you can reduce the inside diameter to get the new pads and drums to fit properly.
