Okay here are my pointers after using this video! 1) There is no replacement for cutters when grabbing springs, needle nose pliers will slip. 2) Be sure to grease ALL contact points, my car had 8 of them. Be sure to look at the bottom meeting points too. 3) You might not need to change your drum brakes if they are squeaking, you might just need to disassemble and re-grease. My car with over 100k still had the same amount of shoe left as a new set. 4) Use brake cleaner on your new drum inside contact points to remove any gunk from the factory. 5) Put your car in neutral and spin the drums, they should bind up and stop pretty quickly. If you don't get it tight enough you will still roll with your e-brake fully engaged. If it is too tight, you will have to use screws to remove the drum and start over. Take the time to get this right.

Good video but you’re missing 2 main points: 1) the emergency brake lever transfer to the new shoe. 2) lubricants on the auto adjuster. There is also a 2 shoe retaining spring seats. You only added the top one when fastened the shoes to the pin. In addition, forgot to mention how to adjust the adjuster from the access hole on the backing plate. Good video though.

Scotty is the best! Only problem is that if you're old shoes are worn down far enough then the rotor won't come off. Unless you open up the automatic adjuster before you take it off. On my Yaris this can be done by opening a little hole plugged by a rubber plug and turning the gear with a flat head. It was a bummer that this information was not in this video because I ended up snapping pieces of my brake assembly by trying to wrench it off with the screws like Scotty said.

Thanks for the instructions, it was pretty easy to do on my 97' Ford Mondeo, I actually ended up changing the cylinders as well and bleed the rear brake lines, it's braking really well except for the handbrake, it won't hold, you actually have to pull it hard to stop the car on a hill, I've adjusted both drums and the handbrake leveler but it still requires force to pull it and lock the rear wheels. Brakes are fine otherwise, they're holding up very well, no weird noises or ABS errors.

by "cover" I assume you mean the brake drum. If so, many have threaded holes in em, you use 2 bolts screwed into the holes to force if off. If not, you need a brake drum puller tool to pull it off.

You are a god send..... I freaking didnt know theyre was a spring connected to the e brake handle. Which would explain why my ebrakes eventually stopped working.

PSA : rear drum brakes are no joke. I recommend you outsource this job that is generally due at 90K for hard drivers & 125K for gentle drivers. I studied several KZbin videos. I downloaded the service manual. I bought specialty drum brake tools. I was just going to clean & regrease where the pads contact the back plate. Seemed like a straightforward procedure with my KZbin knowledge & couple pages of service manual exploded PDF's. What took 5 minutes on a KZbin toke over an hour on one drum for me ( I've done struts, front brakes, radiator swaps, alternator swaps before, so I'm not a beginner) I studied the picture I took of the ," before ." I after struggling for an hour, I finally reassembled and doubled checked my assembly. Well after taking a short test drive, and not having resistance from my console area parking brake handle, I open the drum again. Turns out, in my 10+ attempts at finessing the springs and position of pads & levers, I discovered that somehow the parking brake cable came off from it's attachment point and got sheared off. So now I created a $350 premature rear brake job for myself. Lesson learned .

@mauricioparodi NO, if you don't open the system up, no air gets in. Only if you removed a line or replaced the wheel cylinder would you need bleeding. Scotty

it could, start by pulling off the brakes on the back and checking there. But if there is still some shoes left, tighten the adjuster on the brake cables, they do stretch over time

sheared bolts have to be replaced, and if the calliper mount is ruined, you have to buy the whole assembly and replace that too. If you have drum e brakes, they adjust by tightening the nuts on the cable. If you have disc e brakes,they are not adjustable.
