This is a bit confusing. The title says 96-2000 civic, but the car in the video is a 2001 or newer. Now I must watch a different video to make sure the process is the same on an actual 2000 civic.

[@BlakeGibbons]

It's literally exactly the same.

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

@@BlakeGibbons 96-2011 are pretty much all the same

that rag trick is pretty sweet. Not gonna lie ive never seen it and ive been doing this for way to long.

I’m literally losing my mind these are the most difficult brakes I’ve ever done in my life I’ve been sitting out in the sun for 2 hours trying to take out a single spring now I gotta call a friend who can help me with this bc u make it look soooooooooo easy im losing it man howd u get the spring out wth

[@terryhoffman2760]

It can be difficult. Having Long needle nose pliers helps.

Thank you haynes for teaching me things from your videos and books I have bought.

[@alexharmon9775]

Thank you very much for this video!! Was working on my sisters 2001 Honda Accord and couldn’t figure out how to adjust. Got it!

[@terryhoffman2760]

Thank you hanes. I have many of your manuals. The book kind. Great video.

[@302vettelife2]

This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you

[@HaynesManuals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@noearias2006]

Excellent video thank you

[@goodvibesonly1920]

Great video

[@abochavez]

Is there a special brake tool to reach the adjuster through the access hole? It’s not a straight shot. And my drums have a very deep recess. They won’t slide off and i cant reach the adjuster with regular screwdrivers and picks.

[@luisnunez1795]

Do you need the washer for the e brake cable caue I lost mine and I just have it with the horse shoe clip?

[@rickyfielder]

Thank u

[@venomtwoohnine3192]

You forgot to mention the adjuster has to be closed completely when applying.

[@BA-gn3qb]

What size bolt is used to take off the drums?

[@thewarrior313]

I think they are 8mm in size, not for certain.

[@bFORCe2003]

Or just use a hammer to brake the dust, then pry it open with a flathead.

[@chrisnava8326]

They are 12mm bolts. You can remove the 12mm bolts from your front seat bracket and use them to push drum cover off. Just make sure you screw bolts into the drum cover by hand first before torquing evenly

[@B1ozh]

When I changed my shoes and drums I put everything together correctly but my ebrake isnt working

[@buss210]

Then obviously you didn’t do it correctly

[@youngsavage8665]

[@IslandMowers]

Your adjuster isn't tight enough, but you can tighten it by driving in reverse and using your e brake. This makes it much firmer faster, or you may have put your adjuster in backwards

Asmr car fixing

[@JohnDoe-cs5uo]

Ive done this several times already. With new shoes and drums. I cant seem to figure out why the shoes are far out and wont go in for the drum to go on. The adjuster is closed all the way but for the life of me the shoes will not go in any further

[@HaynesManuals]

If the adjuster is fully compressed, then there are 3 likely causes: 1/ Adjuster strut not locating correctly with the shoes 2/ Handbrake cable not fully released 3/ Incorrect shoes

[@JohnDoe-cs5uo]

@@HaynesManuals shoes are the correct ones. Adjust looks like its seated correctly. E brake i have no idea if rhe cable is releasing or where the shoe lever is suppose to be. I backed off the adjuster nut almost all the way on the ebrake handle. Just dont know how far out it should be in the drum area. I have the part where the cable seats in the lever up against the little bracket thats there where also the cable houses at but dont know if that bottom of the lever is suppose to be seated farther out. Im lost

[@bFORCe2003]

@@JohnDoe-cs5uo your shoes wont be centered properly. Just move them up or down until the drum can fit on.

[@JohnDoe-cs5uo]

@@bFORCe2003 as weird as it sounds. That didnt work either. What i did was open the bleeder valve to decompress the wheel cylinder and that some how allowed the drum to go on. My first time so i found that weird.

[@dizdewd777]

@@JohnDoe-cs5uo well atleast that worked for you, im still stuck with same issue, going to find out if they gave me wrong shoes....

[@juggalobear1930]

Bro that is definitely inaccurate not a civic

[@maxpsidt1390]

Worthless, now show the most common situation. How to back off the shoes when theres a lip on the drum amd yhe drum don't slide off. How to push bsck the adjuster lock tab to be able to back off the shoes with the drum still on?
