Dicky's Garage

Welcome to Dicky's Garage! If you're like me and have racecar dreams on a bicycle budget then you are in the right place. This channel is all about taking things to the extreme and seeing what's possible. Early on we swapped some big block V8s into a few places they don't belong. I took the Big Block Miata to the track and was named "Burnout Champion"! Currently with Project Ethel who knows what's going to happen. I appreciate each and every one of you guys that support us and I ask that you guys never hesitate to reach out to me if you need something. We're all family here at Dicky's Garage!

    Thanks for the detailed video! I'm restoring my wife's '64 Impala, starting with the rear brakes. It's been many years since I have worked on drum brakes, so this is a nice refresher course.

    I did a 1998 STX step side with a trick out 514 with a C6 and 9” rear and the best thing was the truck , trans and rear end . The engine built a used parts engine than went to another engine builder that never turned the engine and so on but it was fun to drive several times . Nice sound out of the stock engine .

    I never click the LIKE button on these videos (my bad!!!), but I was very impressed with the detail of the video and the detail of the explanations. I just had to share this with you. Thank you so much. I think I can do this now. I hope you have the same video somewhere for the front brakes (foregoing the emergency brake part of the job).

    looks real easy on the bench, but almost impossible on the car, especially the rear brakes as the big flange limits access. Also, the 'nail' wants to fall back and not let you attach the retainer. So you need to hold the back of the 'nail', then hold the spring and retainer, and counter all the spring forces and then try to attach it. Oh yea, the lower strut arm almost doesn't let you hold the 'nail ' you can barely get one end of a finger on it. Chevrolet engineering at it's best!

    Great video that shows the components well and will help many many people. Just a little point, the PRIMARY shoe is the FRONT shoe (the shoe with the shorter liner on it), and the SECONDARY shoe is the rear shoe (the shoe with the longer liner on it). Everything you said is basically correct however the FRONT PRIMARY shoe is held back by a lighter force spring (the blue spring) therefore when the hydraulic cylinder is activated using the brakes the FRONT PRIMARY shoe moves first, which then contacts the drum, as you did explain that causes friction, so the PRIMARY SHOE is forced (rotated) around onto the lower self-adjuster screw, this self-adjuster screw then forces the lower edge of the REAR SECONDARY shoe to move and open outwards, thereafter when the foot pedal force is greater than the force of the green spring holding the top of the REAR SECONDARY shoe, the hydraulic cylinder continues outwards pushing the REAR SECONDARY shoe even further out. Due to the dynamics of the function it is quite normal that the shoes do NOT wear equally, not a problem. Love the vocal energy in your video 🙂

    You didn’t happen to take the final drive off, did you? I’m trying to get one off right now and it’s not letting go. I’m wondering if there’s something on the inside I need to remove other than just the bolts to the tail housing.

    Hi!! I'm curious where did you get the second shaft that you're putting between the factory intermediate shaft and the rack and pinion? I know the Miata runs like a 16mm, 36 spline shaft there and haven't been able to find a universal one to use in my project! Great videos, btw!
