GREAT VIDEO, the visual and audio quality was excellent! That's how you do a DIY video, No BS talk, show the most important steps, and concise as possible! GREAT JOB all the way around!

[@verticle2612]

Excellent! I spent 32 years as a Maintenance Test Pilot in the U.S. Army. You are a great instructor.

[@johnshanahan6439]

I've been doing brakes for years, but never shoes. I need to redo my e-brake on my 07 Ram. Thank you!!

[@johndarling1570]

This is the best Video if you own a Durango or Ram. I have done this almost exactly like the mechanic.

[@reebertJunkman]

this was a good video... it showed some different angles that I needed for my repair... I did find that the repetitive irritating parts missing, but alas I found all your footage in real life. I thought that literally one try and the pins would be through the slots... well I really did not think that but one can dream

+Reebert McJunk Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@kobz808]

Thanks, i just did mine on a 2004 1500 4x4 worked great after adjusting the cable too

[@jamesshemwell6868]

Great video ... after watching it I'm almost sure I'll be able to change mine and will save almost $250 by doing it myself. Also I'll be replacing the rotors at the same time and if they need it the regular brake pads as well.

[@kurtiscressman9348]

I have replaced pads, tightened cable, and adjusted them. No matter what I do I cannot get the e brake to hold without them also rubbing when e brake is not engaged. I watched them with rotor off and shoes barely move at all. What is wrong?

[@Nonurbizniz]

I'm unable to take off the rotors , seems like they are caught up on the E-brake with the Lever (pulling cable) being stuck in active brake on position that rusted itself together, any help with correction and getting rotors off?

[@Sage-qd6tf]

You say once you have the backing plate cleaned up as if mine didn’t literally rust completely off 😂 thanks for the vid

[@Nonurbizniz]

Is it possible anyone could comment on the cog wheel , what happens when it is turning upwards vs downward, drivers side vs passengers?

[@garytaylor797]

Do the long end of the springs go toward the back on both sides or just the drivers side. i have the dodge manual and it doesn't even show the same brakes as mine.

[@1shagg420]

Why is my adjuster on the bottom? It's the same setup just upside down?

[@GrowthGuided]

Appreciate you putting this video up. Will be helpful for my 06

[@captgrant]

I noticed the clips on the caliper were tucked behind the housing. The OEM specs show them on the outside of the caliper.

[@danielmason1326]

Having trouble, getting the rotors to go Back on after installing new e brake shoes , have you ever encountered a scenario where the actuator/ pivot mechanism was tweaked/ bent and didn’t function properly as to not allowing the shoes to fully release all the way ? Curious if this is my problem cause the fork on the pivot looks bent, which isint allowing the shoe to seat all the way into the fork on pivot /actuator.

[@vincentsanchez8489]

Made job on fix , well done video . Straight to the point thank you very much.😊

[@leejayking]

Thanks buddy my customer got me the wrong hardware kit. And I had to destroy the old one's rust is a killer but got to return these spring's and see if can locate right one's

[@olenairsoftguy88]

Great great great , quality video, thank you!!

[@wingnutbren]

Your my favorite car guy.

[@jamesflenory9108]

Didn’t show how you put the green spring in

[@MartinGarcia-xn8vo]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@ironman2427]

Screw that. Pull the rear axles and you don't have to fight the parking brake shoes and hardware plus you have an excuse to drain and refill the differential.

[@theintan3052]

Good job thank you

[@haroldlanglois8986]

great video

[@jamesshemwell6868]

PS ... hopefully I won't have to drop too many "F-BOMBS" while I'm replacing them. lol

[@jvp3778]

You skipped the green spring

[@joshuamercier1442]

You could of removed the axels so we can see

[@j.sierra5703]

I didn't know that Mitch from Modern Family was a car guy.....

[@J.es.us-Rey-es]

✝️💙🙏🏼🛐🇮🇱thanks guys you are the best

[@robstuckey]

Worst video ever. Zero explanation when dude puts in the adjuster.. "let's get our adjuster in there now... (Guy puts it in with zero explanation and half second snippet of video).. perfect!"

[@brianleblanc9050]

holly #$%R$...i rather pull engine then do this again..PIA LEVEL high!

[@creaturesofsuburbia360]

Can you talk any faster, haha ? Asking for a friend. Training videos are often for the people who do not have a lot of experience but you talk like you would talk to another mechanic. Great video though !
