No Tools, No Problem! Back Brake Swap.

[@SBGHTEACH]

Danielle is amazing in how she just knows where everything is, you are a lucky man!

[@RandyH-qf3dc]

The car is coming along. When working on drum brakes, I always take off both tires and drums, then work on one side at a time using the other side as a reference. Works good as long as the guy before me didn't mess up the last brake job. Lol. Can't wait for the test drive

[@JamesDuncil-nb7vt]

Much as I loved watching you struggle on the floor of your freezing cold shops in Manitoba, I'm glad u have a actual lift and a shop where you can wear short sleeves in the winter. Keep doing what you do. I really enjoy watching you guys.

[@Tonymarony5113]

Definitely. Why struggle if you don't have to?

[@LynnMacKenzie-w2s]

It does really help to have the tool to turn the little caps on those small springs.

[@ELNomad55]

When not available I used needle-nosed pliers to install those spring caps.

[@AJsHotRodsNrepairs]

princess auto sells a nice pair of old school brake spring pliers.... just sayen

[@donaldhalls2189]

​@@AJsHotRodsNrepairsthey certainly do make it easier, with the Springs and those caps, I struggle a bit with just pliers and screwdriver, handy to know those pliers are still around, all the best to you all

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Like Mortske says, it doesn't matter how you get it done as long as you're having fun! 😊

[@peter-pg5yc]

not on old mb cars, they are annoying

[@renchjeep]

Dude, the adjuster would work a whole lot better if you used the correct spring on the bottom! LOL. And the self-adjuster is never gonna work with that spring rubbing on the star wheel. Anyway....You definitely need more drum brake practice, my friend. It was fun to watch, but then again SO frustrating as I yelled at the screen all the advice I had to give! Haha! Take care, Dan and Dani.

[@hardball107]

Dan, Dude, Just attach the shoes onto the backing plate and add all the other parts by just moving the shoes around on the nails. Lots of play there, pop the springs on and you're done. 5 minute job per corner. It was painful watching you try to balance everything but I have to thank you for the chuckle. Love you to Dannie.

[@axemanfishing2703]

Man, the car is really coming along nicely.

[@CrazyWillie01]

Dang Sunday, and no DD Speed Shop and Dan & Dani Dang it lol need my fix got 2 different surgeries next week Tuesday and Thursday and won’t be able to work on my Chevy for 8 weeks

[@Darkflamingo]

Slide a box end wrench over the E Brake cable end to push all the tabs in at once, easy peasy.

[@peter-pg5yc]

Again needle nose vise grips push housing back then clamp super easy. some cars are stupid strong springs

[@Darkflamingo]

@@peter-pg5yc Not at all what I'm talking about, Pete.You're talking about the spring end that connects to the parking brake lever inside the brake drum. I'm talking about pushing all the fingers in on the circular brake cable clamp where it snaps into the backing plate. That's where Dan was struggling with it. He destroyed the old cable end taking it out, which is fine, but if he ever wants to remove a good parking brake cable without damaging it to reuse on another rear end, my way will allow that to happen.

[@charlesdirienzo6422]

FYI I bought a set of HVAC tubing springs that were designed to help bend copper line. You put the correct size spring over the tubing and it bends it without kinking. Works great on nickel copper line

[@narrowgaugegreg]

I like the little "Rocky Horror Picture Show" reference.

[@stacysanders-w3e]

When you bench bleed a dual master cylinder those plastic hoses return the fluid to the reservoir when you press the piston in. But if they are submerged in the fluid they also draw the fluid back into the cylinder when you release it. They have to be submerged to work the air out.

[@stevebriggs884]

This was the most painful video to watch! I've done these brakes 1000 times, when I worked at Speedy and Midas. Oh my Gawd!

[@KenBuckley]

Worked for Midas for many years and this was a daily thing to do 5 minutes a side easy peazy

That rear end and master cylinder is out of a chevy s10 early 90s if it makes it easier to order parts for you guys i tell by looking cuz camaro one would have a Mounting spot for a troque arm

Your videos on larger repairs such as sheet metal repair are better because of larger size but zoom lens would improve them. Love the content and u guys.

New bigger shop new lift and it looks more cluttered than the last place i cant believe you dont get hurt more often .

[@Jdwescott]

Waiting for the where's the chevelle,is the chevelle at the old place,when are you getting back on the chevelle,do you still have the chevelle comments.

[@TheInternetSaidThis]

Think I asked about it once after they let the world know they moved and wont ask about it again as they have responded about it by my count 3 times since. I am more of a A-Body, 68-72 guy than a tri-5 guy but he takes on projects I would never mess with and brings them back to life and ill watch every one of them they share with us. Being completely objective, that Chevelle would be about 4th in line to consider bringing to the new place over some of his other cool cars.

[@charlesdirienzo6422]

Great news I heard Canada with be 51st state in the US. Parts will now be cheaper and easier to get!! You’re welcome

[@tcjatko7964]

Good God, man. Invest in a brake spring plier! All the tools you need in one package. Imagine that.

[@Zazu2You]

Those drum brakes and brake lines are fun. Nice work, Dan. Cheers!! 😎

[@cobyburrow9339]

Alternative Spring installation tool, largest Phillips head screwdriver you have in the box. Works great when you don't have a brake tool.

[@johnchambers12]

I still have all of my drum brake tools and I’m not afraid to use them. Good video as always. The right tool would be the one that gets the job done without braking a window with a spring. And making brake line , when i was a young lad , the best double flare i made was on the line Before i put the fitting on. Just saying,it can happen!

[@terrycole9427]

Brakes are always fun

[@SBGHTEACH]

that parking brake lever on my Mustang (same sort of mess), I had to bend the living daylights out of it to get it to fit and actually work

[@ImthePaulshouldnotbeallowedtod]

You should ask for another hydraulic lift for the other bay of the garage. You can justify asking for a second unit, because of the at least 80 percent screen time that the lift is getting on your channel and put large stickers with the company's name ,all over the lift. Just a little thought that I was thinking, ever since you have been using it

[@johnkranz4004]

Good job Dan Dani coming along

[@billtopka2584]

Coming along nicely! 👍

Great brake job!

[@georgeleech2709]

Dan , there is usually only three of the tabs on the emergency brake cable that go through the backing plate that are spread out

[@derek2380]

Telling him to check his pictures was the highlight of the whole video 🤣

Looking Good!! Going to be a nice Cruising Machine!!

[@benshore7357]

Looking good 🎉 taking a picture is a good idea as long as the guy before did it right 🎉

[@bobhalstead1879]

Hey dano try using a hose clamp on cable end to compress tangs.so simple and effective.

[@redwinstead7873]

It looks like Danny is getting more stuff done when she is working on the car 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

I have a permanent mark on my forehead from all the drum brake spring retainers that have slipped from the pliers and launched with full spring tension straight at my head. I bet Mur has the same mark.

[@ELNomad55]

On my 55 pbrake adjuster I drilled a clearance hole for the threaded part and put nuts on each side of the adjuster rod. So much easier to adjust.

[@glennshotrodgarage5509]

Put a fuel line hose clamp on the emergency brake cable and tighten it push it trough the backing plate until the fingers are through the backing plate!

[@waynebernier1061]

You had lots of tools back in Winnipeg, curious why you didn’t bring them with you?

[@HankWeidman]

Nice Drums😊

[@kennyschulz5963]

You can use a small hose clamp to release the e-brake cable

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

This is why the guys at the shop always hand me the drum brake jobs, haha. With most GM's attach the adjuster, lever and lower spring, primary shoe(smaller) in front, hang it on the pins, then the upper springs last making sure the wheel cylinder pins made it into the shoes. Sounds easy doesn't it, haha. Oh and make sure the adjusters are on the correct side if they are "auto adjust" brakes with the cable and lever from later models.

[@spicedude6230]

Tell Dan not to forget to tighten DEEEZ Nutz on the top of the Lift

[@EdwardVanmoppes-kv4tv]

My first rear drum break job I did ba k in 1992 was a disaster. Figured it out since, however after the 30 or 40 successful times I still dread them.😮

[@OldMan53-q4t]

Hey Dan you should be able to adjust your pinion angle by using wedge shaped shims between the spring purchases and the springs , like they use to adjust the caster on a straight axle front end . Just like on Dani’s Chevy II .

[@davidhammons800]

Can't wait to put on my headphones & listen to you do some rips. Keep kickin' ass you guys!

[@mamma7119]

I'm 58 years old I have always done All my brake jobs myself I bought one of the brake tools once I ended up throwing it out through the yard I went to my tool box and grabbed my vice grips and needle head pliers and flat head screw driver and had that job and a lot of others done

[@VintageTinGarage]

[@xozindustries7451]

You can get sone wedges to put between the rear end and leaf springs to correct the pinion angle, it should help the clearance on the parking brake mechanism

[@Tonymarony5113]

I really like this car. I like the colour combination but also a four-door and a cheap 305 is appealing to me. Yes, two doors and big hp are cooler, but this is a practical daily driver. This is in reach of the average man.

[@deerespetes8849]

So the fender well headers are creating difficulties with your brake lines talk to the hand 🤔

Needle nose vise grips smaller ones perfect and set up 1st one 2nd is fast. for those twist washers. The old screwdriver trick for the springs.. Plus largr needle nose vise grips work great on springs. i hate extra tools that laugh at me in tool box.. so i improvise.

[@timross7584]

I use that brake line all the time easy to bend use it for fuel line also love that stuff

[@Barret_Radtke]

i did the the brakes on a 65 meteor and those push pins are so frustrating. drums all around all 4 wheels. i had had to borrow my dads brake tools as trying to use pliers makes it a million times harder and yeah i tried to do it the same way. I filmed it for KZbin as well.

[@johnkolodziej1692]

It looks like it is warm enough in the new place. Dani is doing a fine job as camera person! Drum brakes is all there was when I was young. You kinda had a hard time with your drum brakes! Must be because you are use to disc brakes.

[@TheMasterofsparks]

OMG! Dan doesn’t know how to replace drum brakes, maybe he really is a hair model 😂

[@jonahguitarguy]

Last few times I've watched I keep yelling at the screen, move the tool cart to where you're working. And then get yourself another one to throw all the trash on. You got a lift and you're still making it hard on yourself. And there are a few of you car guys I watch and am amazed that you don't have a pressure bleeder for brakes.

[@homer714]

Resetting the pinion angle might help with the e brake clearance on the driveshaft

[@marksanders1942]

That brake line is not only ok, it’s really good. Easy to bend and hard to rust. It’s not copper. Only copper coated

[@upscaleshack]

It's not copper coated, it's an alloy of copper, nickel, and iron. Cu, Ni, and Fe. That's why it's called cunifer. It's been standard equipment in Europe for decades.
