This series has been fantastically helpful. I'm currently restoring a '67 65cc Aermacchi Harley with very little prior mechanical knowledge. The last bike I had with drum brakes was my first bike ('92 GS500 craiglist special), and I was too intimidated to work on them myself as a beginner rider. I like how simply you explained such a weirdly complex mechanism. Definitely still a little intimidating compared to discs, but this makes me a little more confident.

Brilliant you made it very easy for and saved the labour wonderful

[@hphillips7425]

Good video. Anyone with mechanical skills could easily do this after watching your video

[@garyseasydiy9572]

Good job - thanks for your clear and straightforward advice.👍

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for a simple-to-follow video. I just inherited a ratted-out '95 CB250 as a project bike and want to do as much of the work myself as possible. This job looks do-able thanks to you.

I just replaced the original brake shoes on a 1970 Honda C70M SuperCub.. was starting to take longer to stop, and yeah, because this is the first bike I ever had not used to the new brakes at all used to the old worn-out ones.

[@mnech777]

Nice video. Try this on a moped 83 Honda urban express. Thanks

[@alexduey7868]

Awesome video I’ve never changed drum brakes but I’m sure I can now.

[@tanvirrrrrrrrrr]

yeah me too

[@mackenzie77777]

This is one of the best demos ive seen on youtube !! So easy to understand. Is there any danger of Asbestos in modern brake pads? Im going to be doing my Suzuki gn 125 rear brake.

[@rmatvmc]

Thanks! Asbestos was used in brakes until about the early 1990's for most manufacturers but it's best to take precautions and treat them like they contain asbestos.

[@Rakki_Haitatsu]

Thanks for making this video! Made working on my 1971 honda cb350 a breeze. 😁

[@pierrejoubert7754]

Well done video. Thank you.

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Thanks man

[@lulamilephumzampitimpiti8306]

Thank you very much for teaching us. I have a Big Boy flame 200 and I have been trying to get its user manual, but I haven't managed. Will you be able to help me at that?

[@Quadrenaro]

Almost exactly like the TC185. I was unsure what part was actually the brake pad, but I think mine are good, and just need to be better adjusted.

[@danielchitima7048]

Great video, really helpful

[@kmstricks7885]

For the front drum shoe and the back are they the same size or different

[@garyraney7760]

So everything goes together dry ? Using no grease on the pivots points ?

[@callumleakfilms]

This is great thanks

[@nevets5150]

Do you think a rear drum pads replacement on a ttr230 would be the similar?

[@x1stxwrldxvandlx425]

So I just put a new rear drum on my son's 110 and the adjustment screw is a little more than halfway on before I was able to get a good braking out of it. Where did I go wrong? I don't recall it that far on when I purchased it brand new

[@Nate20]

I have a baja dr 50 but manual doesn’t tell brake drum size

[@freddieshannon8397]

Hi, my 1998 cr125 started leaking gear oil out of the bottom end, since it is an older bike, I figured it was a gasket issue because I know that the previous owner had never changed them, but if it could be something different please let me know

[@rmatvmc]

Yeah, you have a couple of seals that could be leaking. Check the countershaft seal as well as the shift shaft seal, check around your drain bolt and check bold, also your clutch cover gasket. A good way to find a leak is to clean the area then use some spay foot powder in that general area. This will show you exactly where it's coming from, keep in mind that the bike might have to be ridden for the countershaft seal to leak out. -Charles

After replacing tbe brake shoes on my scooter 50cc the tire didnt go in and i tried to slip the pads so that tire would go inside but still didnt any tips?

[@CoinRun1]

Do i have to use brake cleaner when i change my brakes

[@rmatvmc]

It is a good idea to use brake cleaner/parts cleaner. Brake shoes will generally have a small amount of oil on them from the manufacturer to help keep them from rusting, but should always be cleaned off before installing them.

[@benidect5955]

I saw there was no rubber dumper in your hub. our motorcycle uses rubber dumper. what isthr difference? please help.

[@rmatvmc]

It sounds like you may have a cush drive. They are meant to absorb vibration and helps to minimize problems with drivetrain components.

[@aftab277]

My bike is fairly new 1 year old and my drum is starting to have very minor groove. I need frequent brake shoe replacement - I know it depends upon the usage but I feel it isn't normal. Should I claim warranty and get it replaced? Or minor groove is normal? I don't think it is deep such that my finger nail gets stuck in it.

[@rmatvmc]

How many sets of shoes have you gone through? It's probably not a big deal, but if there's any question, I'd have your dealer take a look or at least show them some pictures and get their thoughts. -Charles

[@dannygrxxn6947]

Hopefully someone here can help, what if after i put the new brakl shoes in, they dont seat properly IN the drum? its like the new brake pads are stopping it from going int there

[@rmatvmc]

Did you get them in there? You should be able to back off the adjustment all the way to get some clearance for the shoes to go in the drum. -Charles

[@FuskyTheHusky81]

I have a 72 suzuki ts185, and holy shit I can't get my drum brakes out for the life of me.. long shot posting here but at this point all try anything lol
