Im intimidated aswell, I have an 09 civic I need to do and this sure is intimidating.

The top spring gave me such a fight. Your technique was so simple and quick. All worked out and brakes are great now but wish I watched your video before tackling the job. Well done sir!

I LOVE the clamp idea. I’ve never seen that before actually, but it’s a great idea👍 I also liked the screwdriver for leverage getting the self adjuster spring to come off/on. Got a lot of great tips for drum brakes in this!

Awesome video! Great lighting. Wish I would have seen this video earlier, would have saved me at least 2 or 3 hours.

Thank you for a very detailed tutorial. Now I can try it on my Honda 2007 with a bit more confidence.

This is actually a good idea with the clamps. Or you just have a second person push the upper part of the shoes towards the cylinder. I find it also easier to put the shorter end of the spring in last. I watched other videos and I do not believe that they were able to put the spring in as easy as it looked. And this was not my first drum shoe job.

About to attempt this in a few days on my 09 civic, gotta prep with watching this a few times

The spring only goes one way, it interferes with your brake adjustment if it’s incorrect, the video is correct

Screw in the adjuster before applying the clamps and shoes will be closer together with less tension for main spring removal

Hi Danny, amazing job step by step very close and clear video, I changed my civic 2007 rear break using your clamps trick , however i noticed after installing the passenger side rear breaks that the big spring should have been installed the other way, short side should have been on the left side , I did it the same way in the video but this way the spring blocked the break adjust wheel, what do you think should I change it or keep it as is?

@dannysdiygarage

Change it, make sure the longer shoe is in the back, the brakes need to be correct, if you need to send a picture. I’m happy to look at it

Thank you for the video. I changed the pad after watching your video today. After the replacement, the brake pedal goes deep and it doesn't brake well. What's the problem? The piston fell out a few times and the brake liquid flowed. Is that the reason? Or is it wrong to assemble it?

@dannysdiygarage

Air in the brake system, you must not have used the clamps which prevent this, not to worry, You need to bleed the brakes, but most likely buy two new wheel cylinders and install them then bleed the brakes. Also make sure your brake shoes are on correct, let me know how it goes

@@dannysdiygarage thaks for replying. I checked again and found that the assembly was wrong. The lower part of the shoe was not exactly assembled. The problem disappeared after removing the air. Thank you so much.

Wish I had found this video before I did my brakes, my cylinder popped out, the spring gave me hell, ended up making a mess with the oil. I learned a lot but this way it’s a lot easier. Definitely will use clamps next time, and the spring was genius.

If the top spring doesn't go to the two outer holes, you get a wiggly lose spring and an adjuster the doesn't do much before the shoes engage too much....guess I'll be redoing mine tomorrow 😩

Drum brakes will self adjust each time you back up and apply the brakes. no need for alot of adjusting. You can have that drum spin free with zero drag and your good. The brakes will self adjust.

@dannysdiygarage

You’re correct brakes will self adjust as long as they’re working properly unfortunately they don’t always work as they should, the adjuster gets dirty, rusty and can stick or seize and when that happens you’ll need to clean and adjust the brakes ❤ Grate comment❤
