Drum Brake Replacement Dodge Dakota & Durango

In this video we show how to repair the drum brakes and replace them on this drum brake replacement video for dodge dakota & dodge durango. It should be the same for most drum brake repairs and the replacement procedure should be pretty similar with the auto adjuster and spring kit as this style setup has been around for many years. Here we replace the shoes and drums with just standard tools.

Another great video!! Watched your video on installing rack and pinion was so helpful i actually got mine replaced from watching you. Now I'm doing back brakes gonna try for first time in 50 years my brother has always did my drum brakes for me. Thanks for sharing be safe.

[@jimmycedillo1585]

Thank you for making this video. It was very descriptive. One tip I would like to share after following your directions, @1:04 use a small rat tail file without a wood handle to push latch @2:24. The rat tail file grips the slot and stays in place if you are creative, and allows both of your hands to rotate the clock-wheel with a flathead screwdriver.

[@frankclements1431]

I've done many drum break jobs. All of them were agrivating. I learned a lot from the vid. that will make it easier. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@Neptune730]

Awesome video. I have the same spring kit and there were more parts than needed. This video helped a bunch. Thanks for posting.

[@terigger6882]

Great video. Also, be aware he switched sides during video. The adjusting screw is not the same for both sides. Don't mix them up. The threaded end goes toward the front of the truck. The adjusting lever needs to be against the adjusting wheel so it doesn't back off.

[@antsmith135]

Thanks : just what I was looking for!

[@davidtetrault8771]

I sure don’t miss having drum brakes! Great video, only thing you might want to add is lubing the contact points with the backing plate and the brake shoes.

[@JohnPatterson-nl2fb]

Appreciate your video. Good video and good explanation.

[@gfargo7]

Nice, to the point many tips, thank you for a well-done vid.

[@melvincoleman8008]

I just used your video to change the brakes on a 99 Durango. Save me a load of money. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

That’s awesome glad to hear it went well 💪💪💪

[@jennah5460]

Nervous to do this, doing a break system overhaul on my new to me 1999 Durango

[@melvincoleman8008]

@@jennah5460 It's one of those things that looks hard until you actually get into it. Then it's just a simple puzzle. The hardest part is to get the old brake drum off. Instead of trying to turn the dial backwards, like he did. I highly recommend to just take an angle grinder and CUT IT OFF !! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIO7fHScq5qgiNE

[@jamesparks1966]

Hey just want to say thanks for all your Dakota videos very very step by step help ps love ur ride

[@sinnerproductionz7231]

best video I have found!!!

[@jk12428]

Nicely done Sir

[@ExcellenceInAgriculture]

This video was a huge help! Thank you so very much!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

You're very welcome!

[@jasonfultz6046]

Great video thank you

[@Tdfries]

Just what I needed... Gonna do this on my Dakota this weekend.

[@grantbagwell8092]

It was a pain in the ass

[@patrickcagney8060]

Great. Just decided I’m gonna do this myself. That’s what brought me here. Looks like I have a nice project in store for me 😂

[@blackbeardlivesagain]

Thanks for the cool video. Brought back some memories of my dad showing me how to do a brake job. Definitely old school. So glad to have disks.

[@jojogreene311]

I know that's right I'm so tired of doing the rear brakes on my Dodge Dakota I'm thinking about a disc set up

[@kingtitan2051]

My rear brakes stopped working. No fluid pressure from the valve block to the rear. Weird never had this happen ever

[@zacharyrodriguez8795]

Me personally I would have done the upgrade from drums to rotors

[@CarsTrucksWhatever]

Are you going to do the 03-'04 Dakota rear disk brake conversion

[@josevelasco3245]

Nice explanation on this video....at 7:05 into it, where can one get that replacement parking brake lever that goes behind the shoe...mine is missing on passenger side! Thx

[@tomb374]

I put everything brand new on my 01 durango and sometimes the brakes grab and in due time no matter what they always being to pulsate. and that's with all new hardware front and rear including drums and rotors. I also experienced this with my 2000 durango when I had it. Have you experienced any of this?

[@alejandrorosales7182]

What are the part numbers for the hardware and brake cables?

[@Noone-pu2ed]

Will this work for a1988 3.9L?

[@thomastrumigneault8918]

Is the powerstop kit alright as well?

[@wraithwhalen6145]

My right rear brake backing plate hit the ground after my lugs snapped off and tire flew. Needless to say I got to replace the break backing plate. They stopped making the backing plate can I take one off a Durango from the same years?

[@BrOkEnSkAtEr1295]

Idk what I did wrong but the the lever that sits on the teeth of the adjuster on mine doesn’t touch the teeth at all. Please help

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

Inserting from the back ans push it with thumb 😂 pause 😂😂

[@elwerfally]

It is a good explanation but I think you put the adjuster "latch" on the left hand side which should be on the right hand side ;)

[@scottloftin1730]

The "dial" is a ratch that automatically adjusts the brakes as the shoes wear down. On a drum system after you rebuild the brakes, find a parking lot and slam on the brakes in reverse a few times. It will adjust the rear brakes to the proper setting in relation from shoe to drum.

[@blaneupshaw2152]

Really wish could find a video on 2011 Dakota every video about Dakota's is pre 2005

[@belowzero5817]

My Dakota’s rear breaks are a bit snappy and sensitive you think adjusting the tensioner could fix this ?

[@bobsoft]

Yes, adjusting your rear brakes by backing of the adjuster should reduce the grab. Jack it up and spin it by hand to see how freely it spins

[@belowzero5817]

@@bobsoft sweeet thanks for the help !

[@00duce84]

I put a 03 disc brake rear in mines. Leave the drums for the band. I thought this project was dead?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Engine is dead but the project isn’t 😬

[@00duce84]

@@BoostedMotorsports let's keep it alive. I started following you when I got my RAM and you started moding yours. I also a Durango and 5 other mopars. Let me know how I can support the next motor.

[@00duce84]

@@Cumminsdaddy simple 2003 Durango/Dakota rear + junkyard=disc brakes!!!! That's is the easiest way. Only mod is the E brake.

[@varmintsniper2551]

After watching your videos , I replaced the front and rear shocks, Front brakes and now I’m doing the rear brakes. Nothing to it. Thanks for the motivation haha.

[@Playingames4days]

Is this old video or did u rearrange the garage to replace the brakes on a truck with a bad motor ?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Old video from the vault! I’ll have a new vid tmw that you guys will be happy with 😬

[@vicer77]

@@BoostedMotorsports Are you finally going with the Jetta swap hahahaha

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Would work better than it does now lol

[@Playingames4days]

Rebuild it or swap it for another of the same. Then boost. I wanna see how it goes.

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome BG《☆》Drums are the ticket. I don't see any benefit in doing a rear disc conversion unless your going to autocross it :*: Greetings from 🍊Florida🦎 my friend🤓🗣☮🤳👍🏾

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yup plus we can keep 15” wheels for the rear which will be better for drags 🤟

[@adamideus9222]

You should use a break drum pulley, Not that way

[@jacobpeterson3049]

My Dakotas drum brakes look different

[@JayPlays792]

Getting my drum off is impossible i wish i were an easier way thats my problem getting the drum off the way yiu explain it seemed so easy its not!!!! Period...

What I got from this video is drums suck!!
