DIY: Replace rear drum brake shoes for Toyota Corolla, Matrix 2003-2008, Pontiac Vibe

Brake parts cleaner is begging to help

Thanks good video

Hello,
Which size in MM for the two bolts that you used to remove it ?
Thanks.

I could not get the drum back on even after I released fluid pressure and backed the adjuster off.. I had force them on and now they heat up...something is wrong any Ideas.

Stupid design

You talked too much when it’s not needed and fast forward the important part

Thank you

Did you mix the shoes ?

If anyone is going to do drum brakes new hardware is a must and a can of brake cleaner either way it was good install 👍

Where can I find the bolds to extract the brake drum? 🤔🥲

The video is great and everything, but it would have been 50 times better if you didn't speed up the actual reassembly of the brakes. It would really help!

wrong tools and that not a 2003 - 08 corolla rear brakes.

But to much bla bla bla straight to the point my friend.

Dude this is my first drum brake job and you sped up and explained nothing when you put it back together. I'm lost

Good tutorial. In the end, when you needed to adjust them in a little, there was no need to take the star adjuster off. You just pry down the holding lever (slightly) and turn the adjuster to tighten it. Other than that, excellent video.

you guys forgot to mention REMOVE THE PARKING BRAKE or you won.t be able to remove the drum and anything, NO, its NOT abvious...... THUMBS DOWN

More entertaining than a disney movie. Using words like "thingy" - great video.

Drum brakes are the most disgusting things I've ever seen! I hate these things!

Why you don't get the proper tools

Last part you just needed to rotate the gear ⚙ and it will get shorter or longer. its a self adjusting gear. Side note, the horse shoe like retaining washer the one that holds the parking brake bracket you NEEDED to squeeze the two ends a little bit closer together so it doesn't slide out.

Excellent job very well explained 👍

I need to do this so bad on my 06 Corolla it sounds so bad whenever I brake. It’s a hard grinding noise.

Is it the same way on the 4WD?

Thanks for this video. Hard to see other videos and yours is nice and close. Thanks much.

Thanks for your help!

I called to the toyota stealership they said it will cost $336 to replace it, I guess it only cost less than $36 now

What size and thread are them bolts? Thanks.

Thanks for making a video on this subject that’s far easier to watch than the ones others have posted on here. Well done! (I broke my springs when removing them so have to order more before finishing)

Wood half beeen nyce eef yoo tell what sise boolts youu uzed to Puul de dums uff. No stuck wating for anaswer

You can push them springs, with your fingers, once you get angry enough!

Friendly advice: Wear dust mask. That dust is toxic and can cause lung issues.

All in all good job. The vice grips and channel locks are a good idea when you don't have the tool or the money to get the tools

There are tools to compress the springs with the little pins in them 3 to $5 at the parts store

You made twice to work when putting it together there's a way simpler way. Sightly put a screwdriver in between that locking pin an adjuster screw slightly pry out and turn the adjuster screw that way you did not have to take it apart again.

Number one newbie people forget is realeasing the parking brakes, which doesnt say on this video.

I think you better take it apart one more time and clean everything and GREASE the back plate raised surfaces where metal to metal rubbing occurs.

Stupid man. You explain well when you were dismounting it but when mounting it you couldn't do it slowly and explain. That spoiled the whole thing.

😂😂😂😂👍👍👍

I changed the rear brakes now it makes a terrible noise when i break. What can it be? When i spin the wheel off the ground the wheel kinda has resistance in one area

Always use new hardware, never reuse the old parts. It’s also a good idea to install a new cylinder because it will inherently leak before those new shoes ware out and when it leaks it will destroy your new brakes

Cameras autoexposure completely ruined what you were wanting to show uz. Music is 5 times louder than narration.

Awesome explanation, surprised u didnt use silicon grease on the touch points on the the shoes though...

Great 👍 video. What size bolts do I need to pop the drum off? Thank you in advance.

Great video but the drum needed to be replaced.

good job dude.

What size are the bolts to remove drums?
