The ULTIMATE Guide on How to Replace Drum Brakes

1. Did you end up making the video you mentioned at the end, going from drums to disc brakes?

2. You are a hero I love you man

3. Sorry to bother you, but where I can purchase the Tool to take the springs off.

4. i always hated drum brake systems … especially that era when cars had disc calipers in the front, but drums in the rear … soooo infuriating, thanksully now all my cars are new enough to all have disc brakes!

5. brother thank you so much ur efforts you are professional

6. "And its that easy…" 🤣🤣🤣

7. Another great video, helped me with my 1st attempt at brake drums on my '78 c10 squarebody. Question though, what should I look for as my emergency brake light is now on after brake job…???

8. Thank you so much. This is good detailed stuff

9. tks chris ! 7 years ago i was a baby man

10. This is my first time working on my truck myself 😂 after reading comments and watching some videos, I can see it's going to be fun.

11. Hey Chris, I noticed you placed a bucket underneath the wheel when cleaning it with brake cleaner. Where did you dispose all that gunk and used brake cleaner ? Is it safe to toss it in a patch of dirt or do we have to recycle it at an auto parts store like you would with used oil???

12. Thank you so much for this video😭my friend has been changing the shoes on my dad's old truck for a month….. thanks to this video he got it🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🥳🥳🥳

13. I drive a compact. My drum brakes look nothing like that

14. After replacing all that and while testing by hand it had zero friction until i took it for a drive where theres grinding under acceleration and popping noises. Any idea what could be going wrong?

15. Send me email or videos for more videos

16. wouldnt the auto adjuster do the thing its meant to and close the gap on its own after a few pedal stomps?

17. Very nice and detailed instructions. Great Job.

18. Thank sir for sharing..very clear and detailed..

19. thank you for this tutorial

20. 4:45 joke’s on him I did it anyways

21. I have enjoyed the topic regarding braking system

22. Is the last step at 20:00 necessary? If there's no resistance, won't the adjuster click as you press on your brakes? Doing mine this week wish me luck 🤞

23. Fucking hate the drum breaks. 😅

24. I replaced the drum,shoes, and rotor's but not the cylinder. Do i still need to bleed?

25. good job mate

26. For folks that have Rangers/Mazda B Series – he has 10" rear brakes which have link arms coming from the wheel cylinder to contact the shoe. If you have a Ranger with 9" brakes (like me) your shoes contact the wheel cylinder and do not use l links. I was going crazy trying to find the link pins he describes for my truck. Turns out there are none 🫡

27. I’m very happy he made this video, I just bought a 99 ranger and today my rear passenger drum just started leaking break fluid all over everything and when I took the drum off it was pretty much destroyed underneath so this is going to help me assemble it back

28. These are so ridiculously complicated.🤦

29. I do not see the video on your channel for the drum to disco brake conversion did you never do it ?

30. where can i get your drum brake tool set??

31. What make and model truck are you working on?

32. Took my car to the shop, quoted me $1500 for a rear drum brake job. Spent $250 on brake parts & did it myself instead thanks to you!

33. Excellent instructional video! Thank you.

34. Hi Chris fix can you make a video on how to change brake pads on a 2018 Audi Q3 premium

35. I have drum brakes on my ford ranger and I with I had brake pads they look so much easier 😂

36. Great video and enthusiasm. You make me want to get to work on my breaks!

37. 7 years later, still waiting on the drum to disk brake conversion

38. The fact that i waited 7 years to watch that conversion is scary 😊

39. Awesome video.

40. hey ChrisFix when will the conversion video be out? would love to switch out my rear drum breaks on my 2012 ford fiesta but I don't trust myself enough haha
    And I absolutely love the videos they're amazing you're 100% one of my fav yt channels

41. left side or right?

42. You really shouldn’t use a metal sledge on the brake drums. I recommend a rubber mallet instead: It’ll ensure you don’t dent the drum, but still does the job.

43. Done a few drum brakes in my life and about to do 4 more on my 67 cuda. Excellent instructions. Very well done video

44. Good job

45. Wish me luck on this first time doing it tmmrw very inexperienced on working on cars 😂
