Mitsubishi Mirage 2014 Rear brake Replacement - Right Side

Watch as I replace rear brake shoes on the right side of my 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage. I did both sides but my camera didn't want you to see the left side so it deleted that footage.

[@memphisraines8118]

Thank you for this. Just replaced my rears. Purchased new, 55k miles, toasted shoes and drums 😂. Lot of highway and city driving. Used raybestos shoes and duralast drums fit great. Only thing I had to do was file the hole where the emergency bracket attaches to. Only took a couple of seconds. Shot a tiny bit of silicone on the shaft to let the drum slide on easy. Done and done. Thanks again.

This was REALLY helpful (I have never changed brakes on anything before). Additionally, you have a cool, laidback manner that makes it seem less daunting. Thanks man. BTW - those ARE the most adorable pair of vice grips I have ever seen. ☮

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

I'm very glad this video was helpful. I try to keep the videos easy going and easy to follow, I'm glad they seem laid back. Everyone should have at least one pair of tiny adorable vise grips. Thanks for watching!

[@seth3071]

You saved my ass by mentioning to secure the shoe to the backing plate. I had the shoe sticking out with the adjuster reset, looking all confused. Thank you 😊

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

I'm so glad this video helped you out. Viva la Mirage! Thanks for watching!

[@pile_of_parts5185]

Soo helpful thank you very much for taking the time to record edit and post this saved me few bucks for sure and got to learn something in the process!

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

Thank you so very much for the kind words. I am glad that the videos I make help people. If there is a bit of Mirage maintenance you would like to see a video about please let me know. Thanks for watching!

[@shannonwilliams8849]

Very informative! You explained alot of problems ppl might run into.thanks.

[@guillermorivera3838]

Muchas gracias por tu video . Aún k esta en inglés se entiende todo

[@CMichaels56]

Tremendous help, thank you. Just adding that resetting the adjuster all the way back is so important when putting the new pads in. If it’s not set correctly, and you can see the teeth (ridges), you won’t get that damn drum back on.

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

That's good info I should have added. Thank for this and thanks for watching

[@ludolibre852]

what part is that exactly? Thanks

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

C Michael is referring to the adjuster. It the part that needs to be reset to allow the drums to fit over the pads.

[@justinprovost2082]

With that adjuster, does it self tighten itself?? as its not like the old drum set up where u can use a screw driver and adjust it thru the hub with a screw driver. I just replaced mine today and the handbrake isn't as tight as it was b4.

[@ludolibre852]

Thank you so much for your videos. They are so helpful!! Garages make it sound like it's rocket science and want so much for doing that. Adding the parts (name or ref.) would be very helpful also. Thanks again!

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

You are right one of the things I need to get better at is listing the parts and tools I am using. Thanks for the kind comments!

[@CP-ir4ey]

​@@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL the part you take off after the tire is STUCK. How do you loosen it? I tried wd40 and let it sit all day but no luck.

[@林华春红]

Thanks so much for clearly show off me the procedure to do this.

[@kyky7kyle7]

Hi other mirage owners, this car requires you own a grinder/cut off wheel for every repair. So go ahead and take that grinder wheel and slightly grind the opening of your "auto adjuster" that goes inbetween the shoes if you cannot easily get the drum back on. It should end up looking like a shark/gator with it's mouth in a triangle going towards the top, only takes a minute(You may need to slightly then shorten the little spring that goes there too).

[@yetivanmarshall1473]

Excellent presentation. Now I just have to wait for my torn rotator cuff to heal.

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

Thanks for the kind works. Good luck with the rotator cuff.

[@stevep41]

I have a pair of channel locks that are like 18 inches long and makes that bottom spring easy you can use the spindle as leverage and it goes right on

[@aria.drottning]

When I did the drum brakes on my truck there was one tool I wish I had bought and it’s for those pesky last springs. I ended up making on out of a small old flathead and I cut a bitch into it with my dremel. You catch the spring end in the notch and use the end of the screw driver to lever it over in place then a slight twist pops it right into place

[@jimmystone]

thanks for that. looks intimidating but when I need to, I'll give it a try.

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!

[@exocetmm38]

Very helpful video! I just have one question, what is the brand of the shoes you got and did you any issues putting the drum back on? I bought Centric 111.10590 (from Amazon) and could not fit the drum back, they seem too thick. I loosened the adjustor and the parking brake cable and still could not do it. Had to reinstall old shoes back again. I read on the mirageforum that some people grind the aftermarket shoes in order to make the drum fit and I'm not too convinced about that. Thanks!

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

The first time I changed the rears in my Mirage the drums had a lip on the inside edge of the drum that's stopped the drum from slipping over the new shoes. I used a grinder to knock down the lip and the drums slipped over the shoes fine. I hope this description helps. Thanks for watching!

[@exocetmm38]

@@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL Thanks for your reply!

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

Anytime I enjoy talking about my 3 cylinder hot rod

[@kyky7kyle7]

The issue is with the self adjuster and requires you open up the slot a bit

[@ottoelectric4239]

my drum won't go back on. If i try forcing it, it starts shaving part of the new brake and it seems like too tight of a fit. any tips on how to resolve this?

[@kyky7kyle7]

Use a grinder on the self adjuster thing to open up the slot making it look like a mouth of a gator

[@shannonwilliams8849]

It has to do with that adjuster, I 'm having same issue.

[@bobernst827]

Thank you. Very helpful 👌

hello dear friend. Thank you so much for your video. Can you share the link of the product? Thank you!

[@rachmatzulbachri5157]

Big thanks bro 👍👍👍

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@cirholston920]

I did everything you did in the video and I cannot put the drum back on. Can you help with this

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

I can try. There is a chance that when you replace your brake pads and try to reinstall the drums the drums might not fit over the new pads. Check your drums for a lip of steel inside the drum that will not let the drum slip over the new pads. If that lip is removed (sanded, hit with a grinder, removed with a lathe) the drums should go on with out issue. I did not think about this problem when making the video so I didn't add it, it seems like I should have, lots of people are commenting on this problem. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@kmlosa]

Thanks for sharing!

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

Thanks for watching!

[@CP-ir4ey]

What to do if it is hard to remove? I tried WD40 and still stuck. HELP!

[@jeremypayton8315]

Are you not going to adjust the shoe? Or show the process on how to?.

[@kyky7kyle7]

If you haven't taken the plunge to install them, it's not hard but you'll need a grinder to make the adjustment

[@mplscarsales6652]

This doesn’t look like the type of adjuster you can adjust from the back with a Flat head without taking the wheel off ?My brakes are rusted and only that one wheel will not move .

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

It may not look like it but it is adjustable.

[@markhenrich3479]

Hi, what torque setting did you use on the 30mm nut that's holding on the drum

[@FIXYFIXYCHANNEL]

I torqued it to 129 foot pounds. Thanks for watching!
