You actually have cars with drum brakes, crikeys, I havn't seen a drum brake system on the wheel brakes (still see them occasionally on shaft brakes and hand/emergeny brakes) in over 10 years. I have been a mechanic for 30 years including 12 years in the RAAF 1/35th Sq. Job well done Rick. Cheers to you n Mary budy Lee

Cool vid Rick. Every time I replace the rear shoes I always put masking tape on the face of the shoes to keep all oil and greasy fingerprints off, then pull the tape off when I put on the drums. Cheers !! :)

Dude you’re a lifesaver I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra and I won over a pothole and the back driver side tire started grinding, I took the tire off and the adjuster and the spring fell right off on the left shoe. I was going to take it to a repair shop because I’ve never done drums before but this looks easy as hell

Thanks for the overview. Just did my brakes this morning and your video helped with a few questions. First side took an hour, other side maybe 15 min. LOL

Thank you. Doing my Mom's 03 Sentra with 85K on ode. She didn't need new rear drum brakes. I just cleaned with brake clean. If you don't go over 45 mph, the rear drums probably last till 110K.

Good to see you Rickem, it's been a while. Nice to see you doing some projects too.

Thank you Fella`s . You make it look really easy. Cheers.

lol floor jack on gravel so unsafe

Awsome vid Rick... You need to do Blog TV more often haha... Hopefully not have another doggy accident on the floor lol.. I tried to warn ya's but no one would listen haha... good times with Rickem.

My Equinox 2006 has the same set up for the front brake!Your right about the old style chevy.They had a pin treaded to the calliper.Very easy to do the front brake on mind.By the way,you should always put some grease on the back plate for the rear brake.You glove are a little to big to do a job like that.LOL Nice vd.Thanks.

There are almost only standard shift vehicles, but on mine, I almost never use the e-brake, except when I'm parking at a slope. I always put it in 1st gear, which really is enough to hold the vehicle. I don't want my e-brake to freeze to the drum in winter times or something like that...

Great video Rick!

Another thing is, if you look on the drum where the lug studs come through you'll notice to extra bolt holes, those are threaded so you can run two bolt into them and it pushes against the axle and pops the drum off so you don't fatigue it like you did with the mini sledge.

awesome video rick

survive however possible rick some r very jealous of you. we love your videos

I love your comments on Rick's videos's man! So funny and so true! He's taking taxpayers for a ride. He's a really bad person!

The issue is the jack is supposed to roll as it lifts up on the car and on gravel it doesnt move easy or at all. This can cause th jack to tip over

Plus little tricks like throwing the wheel that's been taken off, under the chassis.

lol just meet this dude at a random drunk gathering and he ask if you can do brakes? awesome lol

wheres the e cigg rick? is it worth the money?

Don't you use axle stands?

Rick, go back and look at the video, you put the shoes on upside down and backwards, the fiber part goes all the way to the end of the metal part on one side of the shoe. There is a front and back shoe, they're not all four the same.

done that soooo many times not a single problem if the cars wheels are chocked the jack will not slip on the gravel floor anyway

Hey Rick keep the vids coming for get the haters just say I see you. HI HATERS Lol

Thanks doing my Nee'Son today!🤣 Cheers and Beers brother!!

That´s nice. I do like brake work, but some models are a pain in the ass. I´m in Brazil.

Greetings from Finland Ric

thanks it helps so much.

Shoulda lubed the backing plates on the drums. To compress the piston on the front use the old inboard pad, nothing better.

man u gotta get that speedex out before winter hits what happend to the rompin vids

Lol everyone is talking about jack stands, and safety glasses, and the jack being on gravel, ya being safe is important, but he's showing you a real world fix for a real world prob, iv driven tow trucks for years and I can tell u from experience, it isn't safety glasses and jack stands that help you keep all your fingers n toes, its paying attention!

why you dont start your own chop rick you got talent to repair vehicule what you thing about that man ???

good video thanks !

probably will if the job is underneath the car

That's allot of stuff man !!

This damn video just isn't loading for me, my other subbed vids are ok..

oh rick we all know how to change brakes!

What happened to the E cigarettes? I knew that shit wasn't going to last .

Exactly... i was once told, any idiot can replace parts on vehicles, it takes a mechanic to know how they actually work and principles of operation.

You didn't grease anything Rick.

Ever heard of Brake-ease or Anti-sieze? Those parts need lube! not a hammer to remove paint?????

What kind of idiot would work on a car without using a jack stand?

Rick since everybody makes bad comments and very ignorent comments about you not working. Make a video why you dont work, is there a reason? That way some people will stop making rude comments

Really?

Drum brakes are the devil!

should of used a new hold down kit

one can fix every nissan problem at one time with 20cents of gasoline and a 1 cent match....

Amen!

why is he not wearing safety goggles while hammering on the drum..... lol bit of a problem.

your right fixnethin

cheers shw eeeet

i would never get you to do my brakes. maybe you have a idea lol but you dint even clean the rust off or lube anything. not the backing plate , nor the emerg. lever nothing. those brakes will be siezed up after this winter , if not before. hes going to wear out his front brakes prematurely .. good luck to your buddy. oh lol they are called shoes and not pads by the way... cheers .......

dave was making 100.000 plus a month!

CHEERS

Rick share your knowledge some more. I know you know the ford trucks.

NESON not NESAN

Angus young does brakes lol awesome lol

Goes to show you Rick- you CAN do something of value. You have to get a job and start paying back tax payers man. This isn't right what you're doing being on welfare. It's not right Rick..! Do your share!
