Good job, but personally I would have slackened the parling brake cable first. That way the cable lever on the shoes will be set back to the limit. If any past ajustments were made the lever does not go home enough, this will make the cable come off the lever easier. After fitting left and right side shoes and adjusting, whilst on the jack stands, adjust the parking brake. Hence the cable has maximum effecked of shoe contact. But hey, we all have our own ways of working!! I worked in the motor trade for 54 years, just saying not at all bragging. but I sincerely enjoyed watching your video of this tricky awkward job well done and great camera work. very informative.

@@DansWay @John Allen, I have never thought of loosening the parking brake tension. I feel like a dumb a**. I was just lamenting the stupid design of that spring on the parking break cable and saying to a friend of mine that you really need a second person to clamp the vice grips because that spring is so tight and it pinches your fingers when you lose grip on it to get the vice grips on the cable. I was saying, to him "I just need to invent a tool that will pull that spring back and act as the second person, allowing the vice grips to be clamped." Duh!! Just loosen the emergency brake tension dummy. Thanks for the obvious to be brought to us who don't always know it should be obvious!

Just did my daughter's 2007 yaris brakes. What a pain it was! The rear drums were the worst I have worked on. There's a huge risk of ripping the rubber boot on the cylinder... in addition to bleeders that withstood half a can of pb blaster and a torch. Front calipers pins were completely frozen in place. I would recommend to spend 200 and get all new front caliber assemblies and new rear cylinders. This way u can bleed everything. If the previous owner maintained the vehicle... that would have been amazing.

Just a short note on how this process can be further improved. After removing the brake drum, immediately spray the whole brake assembly with brake cleaner and allow the contaminants to drip into the tray below. That way, together with wearing gloves, you will have a much cleaner environment to work with.......Also, the brake lever that is attached to the parking cable need not be detached. The new brake shoe can be assembled onto the brake lever even while it is attached to the brake cable. It will save you another step in the process......Lastly to ensure the parking brake is working properly, adjust the appropriate parking cable length using the adjustment nut located below the parking brake lever inside the car.

In the video, you can see that Dan has placed something behind the rear tire - you can buy those at the store or use a block of wood that you have lying around (assuming that its thick enough to safely block the tire). Depending on which way the car may roll, you may want to block both sides of the tire

Nice tutorial! However, it seems to me that the job was not needed to be done. The old shoes look like they still have some meat on them and can safely handle additional 50,000km. They carry only about 30 per cent of the braking forces so they last a lot longer comparing to the front brakes.

Michal Kolář I was sending my daughter all the way across country so regardless of their condition I was wanting to have it completely good to go another 50K. I’m not sure what your seeing because as I recall they were really close to gone compared to the new ones.

I was not convinced that the drum shoe change was necessary. You should have started with the measurement of the friction material. As I can see, a cleaning and some shoe sanding would have been enough. After you removed the drum, you should have applied some brake cleaner spray. The whole system and your hands would have been much cleaner beside you didn't breathe the harmful brake dust. As part of the drum job, it is advised to check the brake piston for leaks and excessive wear. The brake fluid should be changed when you work with the piston to have fresh fluid and no air in the system. The drum should have also been cleaned with brake cleaner to get rid of brake dust and debris prior to installation. After the whole process, you should check the brake by pressing the pedal. Then, you should apply the handbrake and check its function and the lever travel. Then, you have to rotate the wheel again to check if it spins freely without excessive friction. You should have emphasized that the brake job had to be done for both sides. And pads/shoes have to be replaced at both sides of an axle. When you are done, a road test is the bare minimum if you have no machine for that. You should check for uneven braking, biased braking, excessive noise or too short/long handbrake travel.

Everything is fine, but the fact that you didn't clean the system base well, that for me is unacceptable......😢😢😢😢
