Personally hate Drum Brakes. Disc brakes so much easier to change out. The guy in the video seems to take pride in his work. Great video.

I watched over 20 different videos from KZbin. Hands down the best one. You’re the man ☝🏼

If we want to get a good adjustment on the rear brakes after you adjust tapped the backing plate that will re center the shoes and then. Check for drag again repeat if you have to. I was a auto tech or neury 60 years. This always work for me to get a good adjustment.

Agreed on the lug nuts. I found this job very fiddly. The video was a great help so thanks. Think I'll be taking the drums back off as the handbrake still feels high. Found it hard to get the shoes adjustment bang on as, although hitting the drum home, it seemed the tightening of the wheel gave it that bit more and felt more free than expected.

This video is very informative! It's most likely my front brakes that are shot because I can see the rotors are bad. But I plan on doing the rear brakes too while I'm at it which is why I watched this since I have put over 60k on my Focus since I got it and brakes were new at the time. Also my co-worker recommended 1a auto and you recommend it too so I definitely plan on using them!

Thank you so much for this video bro. I live in Germany and 80 MPH is slow here. I bought the car second hand with 1 key. I was about to spend $350 to get another key and have the dealership here do it. Thank you

[@ElectricCity369]

Nice video thanks

[@bandit4720]

Amazing explaining,, 👏👍

[@penatechuck81]

Did this and drums still wouldn't go back in. After all that then everything sprung out causing the wheel cylinder to gush out. Smh they make it look so easy.

[@legomenjj]

God this helped but still took 3 hours for 2 wheels ugh

[@Macka09]

Is the handbrake handle in the up position or is it off when carrying this out? Good video

[@greyman522]

Where can I buy drums for a 2011 Ford focus

[@AMScotty]

Drums haven't changed much at all since the 60s have they.

[@williamb2854]

FYI...the lugs nuts on this car...suck. You may want to buy aftermarket...solid lug nuts.....
