Great video. What he skipped over with a cut is that that adjustment screw for the brake shoes is VERY difficult to adjust. DO NOT touch it if you don't have to. Tightening the shoes is easy.......loosening them is very difficult. Took me 45 minutes to adjust one after I made the shoes way too tight by mistake. Learn from my failure.....lol.

TRQ handsdown the best repair videos out. These guys are true pros.

Great video !! Not a lot of "Ummmm"s and "you knows.."s that some videos are loaded with. Great speaking voice and you clearly know what you're doing. Thanks for helping me save myself some money. I was comfortable with the disc pads in the front but the springs on the rear drum brakes I was apprehensive about. You made it a snap to get it done. Great info on the brake grease and anti-seize also. Best video I've seen on this procedure by a MILE.

This was the best video I watched for all spring locations and setting the pads in place. Thank you for doing an excellent job!

Just bought an '04 Corolla. Excellent timing.😊

best video. I seen probably all of the ones for this vehicle and sadly I have spent 3 hours trying to do one side.... and the difference between this and other videos is that you put in retaining spring and locking nut at the end. this helped me.

Good camera work, clear, precise instructions, no fake buddy talk. Well done

Great video thanks, one question what size bolts do you use to break the drum off ?

Took my car to firestone the brakes were grinding. They told me they looked at them and they were fine. I asked if they took off the drums and they said they looked through "the peephole". The noise I was hearing was supposedly something rattling around in my trunk. I took off the drums and the shoes were down to bare metal. I made a video confronting the mechanic and used this video to install my own brakes.

Thank you. This living room mechanic couldn't have done it without you. One extra trick I figured out was to take the u-shaped retaining clip off the parking brake, use a vise grip pliers with one jaw on the pried open end of the clip and the other jaw tip grabbing the stud the clip is around. Squeeze and it pushes retaining clip off . Similar technique tomout back on.

Your Toyota videos are very therapeutic!

Amazing, I don't think Harvard has this kind of masters teacher and "cameraman" thanks a lot. Muchas gracias.

Great video I especially like how you point out where to clean and lubricate and to apply anti seize. All of it helped me a lot change my brakes.

Learned this in high school shop class over30 years ago. Kind of shocked NOTHING has changed in that time.

Such a big help, clear directions too, thank you!

Excellent video - makes task less intimidating (wish all cars have disk brakes on front *and* rear.

Best how to tbh I looked at mine and was like who engineered this you made it look quick and easy thx!!

Thanks for this video man, helped me get thru it today. But I failed the wheel cylinder so I’ll be working on that tomorrow bc I ran out of daylight. Got the wrong parts twice so the job didn’t go as smooth as I had hoped. But this was helpful and now I have a better understanding for the finish and next time

I just saved myself 350 bucks thanks bro if i did not watch this i be paying 350 bucks rn

Thank you, this video is very helpful and clear.

Awesome video. And nice explaining thanks for taking your time to do this video

Wow, there's absolutely no effing way I could have done that without you!!!

Excellent instructions. Follow it step by step and it is a breeze even for a first timer.

Thanks - this was really helpful. I can do almost any disc brake pad replacement with no instruction, but I hate drum brakes rather passionately. If the brilliance of a thousand suns were to burst forth into the sky, that would be like the intensity of my hatred for drum brakes. My only crticism is that I think most people will find it easier to attach the rear spring before pinning the shoe in place; I had no trouble with that after many failed attempts to do it in the order shown here.

Excellent video. One of the best for shoe replacement on Corolla.

THanks for a clear and concise video!!!

Great tutorial man keep up the good work

Buen video muy preciso y buena calidad de imagen.

Thank you for this. Fortunately I work in a shop with all the tools I could ever need. After freaking out about the damn springs I decided to take an angle grinder to make a slot in my screwdriver so they stopped slipping off.

El mejor video de todos bro gracias

Amazing video. I have a 2010 Corolla will this be the same step by step I can use for year. I just did my front brakes and callipers using your parts. 100% satisfied. Thanks for any helping advice

el video es bueno felicitaciones pero las letras no dejan ver bien las cosas que haces..gracias saludos

clear video shots, succinct narration, thank you!

Thank you 🙏 your video really save the day

Oh and did I mention they gave me the WRONG shoes so had to take them back after struggling for a week! Now I’m at the spring part finally …..but you make it look a lot easier than it is to get the springs on….

Might be helpful to mention if you are using new adjusters that there is a left and right side. Unfortunately my new hardware kit came with 2 lefts. Don't throw away your old one until you check new ones. Great video

great video but the adjuster and adjuster holder keeps popping out when i press the brakes . the adjuster holder keeps getting caught on the gear and it just pops off. any advice please ?

Excellent video tutorial, so far it has helped me immensely with one side. BUT, what is the trick to loosening the star wheel adjuster from behind the backing plate? Mine seems to be locked in place and will not turn. Also, the extraction bolt method from the front will not break the drum free from the shoes. Any suggestions? My next step is to break it all to bits and replace everything inside.

Thanks for the detail in this video, timesaver!

Thanks, 10/10👍

From watching these undercarriage vids, I am so glad I don't live in the rust belt. 😂

Great job...I sure found, more than helpful.

Great video… I tried it and I had difficulties removing the drum, I got stuck where I needed to loosen the break shoes to remove the drum… I will try again another day

Thanks for the great video. I finally got around to doing them last night. Shoes were only half but drums were warped. When warm they would pulse badly. Im not sure turning the drums would do anything as the problem only started after they were warmed up. I had to reuse the big spring on the adjuster the new one was too tight to fit(mines a 2014 it has a single spring on the top rather than two like yours)

Doesn't that parking brake lever pawl withe cable go on the INSIDE of the brake shoe? Not on the outside ?

With parking brake ON, the wheel should not move at all. Right?

Are there any particular brakes & rotors you would recommend & are there any we shouldn’t buy?

Good explain but some time not see the picture see only word.thank you

Great channel, I appreciate the information for us DIYers. I'm a firm believer in rust prevention and "Krown" application here in Canada. I don't understand why people don't spent the $100/yr. on a quality spray application (minus the brake area) and keep your car in decent condition.

Hello, Which size on MM for the two bolts that you used for 2007 Toyota matrix ? Thanks

Thank god disc brakes were invented, they are so much easier and quicker to change pads and rotors

That back spring is a real buggar. Popped my wheel cylinder in the process. Ughh. Thank you for clear instructions.

Question. Do you have to purge the system by removing the brake line nut, pump the brake padel and open and close the port. It's that something that needs to be done after replacing the brake pads and rotors?

Nice video I enjoy it ,great job.

What bolt do you use?

Good information but the B&W writing in getting in the way of seeing what you are doing. Thanks Bill

I used this video for my rear breaks, granted it took a lot longer. After pumping the breaks to get the shoes situated I lost all brakes. The wheel cylinder on the untouched side blew out because I didn’t bleed them both. I would make sure for any1 doing this to bleed both drums at the same time before you try to use the new drums

Nicely Done.

Oh no...I got rotors and drums replaced in my sons' 2008 Corolla but one of the calipers is spewing out brake fluid when I press on the brake peddle. Anybody have any tips? I reseated the pads into the caliper but still doing it. Broken seal? Do I need a new caliper?

Brake cleaner is toxic (unless it is labeled as non-toxic) and is a whole lot worse for you than the dust. If I have to use it- I do it in a highly vented area and do not breathe it. One other thing, when the axle hub is rusty, I hit it with a wire wheel to remove as much rust as possible, Other than that great vid. Mike

What do you do if you pop one side of the wheel cylinders off?

Do you have a part number for the parking brake lever. I really need it asap

Make sure your parking brake is off of course. I had one stuck so bad, the wheel doesnt even turn with parking brakes off. Also I dont recommend a hammer because brake dust gets everywhere and you dont want to breath in that stuff., use as your last resort. And theres a special tool to detached the parking brake cable easy, but whatever way is easier for you.

So while doing this I also installed a new cylinder, issue is that new cylinder blew a seal (boot is 100% intact) all the leaking is underneath the boot. I know I made an error, I’m just at a loss at what I did wrong? Anyone have suggestions?

Great informative video…..now if you could just do something about the 115 degree weather I have to do this job in ! And did I mention there’s no shade? Don’t know if I want to cry or shoot myself…..as usual, I’ll just grin and bear it and get it done…..sigh

What happens if I DO blow out one side of the cylinder? I did push it back in and secured the rubber part back around. It looks just fine?

I wish all mechanics do the same job as the money 💰 they get

Creo que las letras son de impedimento de visión pero esta muy bien explicado.

Thank you good sir

The parts arrived today and it didn’t came with those other things

Hola todo está muy bien pero tu las letras estorbaban lo que estás explicando y no dejan ver lo que estás enseñando gracias

Good job

That sounds like a difficult job if you’ve never done one before. The front brakes are so much easier.

Had to replace drum brakes & b4 I did THAT, I ran over a median & blew out wheel cylinder. Then broke the brake line when replacing cylinder ….sigh….nothing is ever easy is it?

Thanks for the lesson . Beatus Sanctus Pascha

I put anti cease on my studs. not every time but certainly every few

You had me until not replacing the wheel cylinders at the same time, why wouldn't you ? Only half the job done and waiting for a fluid leak.

You missed a stud on the double check.

Spanish translation blocks a lot of the video

It's a hassle trying to follow the video with the translation text on the screen blocking so much of it.

Drum brakes are STUPID!
