Memories of adjusting countless drum brakes… of course, some of the later ones were supposedly self adjusting. Sometimes they were…
11:50. In the old days I could just pull a little rubber grommet off of the backing plate and adjust it using the backing plate as a fulcrum point. I made sure to put the grommet back when I was done because you don’t want dirt up in there.
I can’t believe I have a tool that Ray doesn’t. It’s a special tool for adjusting brakes, from back in the day when cars had drums brakes. I have the spring pliers (you used it to remove and reinstall springs – those things were strong) , and the retainer removal tool, too. Haha.
I still love brush motors. Still work just fine. But all my tools are brushless.
Same part numbers. They are interchangeable.
lol use a brake spoon from the back no need to take apart
Actually, those are hydraulic parking brakes as witnessed by the wheel cylinders. They are not cable actuated. Judging by the dust, they appear to be functioning as an additional service braking system.
🤢🤮. Made me up chuck. Lol
the shoes looked as if they are not adjusting on their own, they looked all the way down ( not adjusted at all)
now they are where they should be adjusted to! do they have automatic adjusters in the hand brake ?
oh well great job nice video take care Ray!
I think Toyota has a safety feature with the electric e brake, pull up on it and hold it will gradually come to a stop probably to late lol;
The smell is ozone.
Glad you said noise check on a test drive for a parking brake!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 lol
Ray, what happened with the lifter, which was out of locks? Is it repaired?
Ray I'm not getting the notification with it being on all
"Wheels are not supposed to be bolted on to rocks."
How far we have come since Fred Flintstone.
YAY!!! Brake Clean effects!!! Was missing those Ray! Cheers!!
The only time my parking brake became my e-brake was when my passenger front brake cylinder explofed when I was on the freeway and it became my only brake for 20 miles home…rush hour traffic on I5 to I84 where you don't get to go faster than 30mph anyways…got home and saw the break juice peeing all over my wheel when I got home…
They have the adjuster at the top one side and at the bottom on the other, because its the same brake assembly both sides. They turn it over to keep the brake caliper pointing forward both sides. Helps keep the number of handed parts down, that whole brake assembly can used on either side.
Leading and trailing edges on brake shoes are made with the 'leading' edge thinner than the trailing edge, so when you poked the leading edge (it appears thinner) was entirely correct. I so love 'Rainman training days' 🙂
Hope you all had a good vacation. Thanks for videos it has taught me a few things
Really Like the way you narrate and work at the same time. Great job.
Can you say brake spoon?
I always referred to them are Parking brakes. That is what my Dad told me 58 years ago.
Fancy wheels, no brakes
You are a good man Ray. That's why your customers love you.
If you look at the old cars with drum brakes the self adjusters were mounted in the same position…right or left side…usually at the bottom. That meant that the self adjuster screws had to be right hand thread or left hand tread depending on which side of the car they were used. The old self adjusters were stamped 'R' or 'L' for that reason. That meant the the car companies had to inventory two brake self adjusters and they also had to make sure the guys on the assembly line were mindful of which side they were working on. Flipping the self adjuster position allows the car companies to use the same self adjuster for both sides (probably a right hand thread), thereby saving a nickle and increasing share holder equity.
Ignorant question on my part:
Why would any parking brake shoe ever wear out in the lifetime of that truck? Delaminate, sure. But wear? How?
I can see drum brakes needing adjustment and the automatic ones they had, but I'm honestly struggling with why these needed adjusting at all… Can someone enlighten, beyond the fact that someone else did a bad job on these before it got to Ray?
That smell from the drill is ozone caused by sparking electricity thru air.
So they can use same parts on left and right ❤
Isn't there a window in the backing plate that will allow you to set the drag with the drum on?
Have I been doing it wrong for over 30 years?
Removing the plug in the window of the backing plate, installing three lugs, and would adjust them where they drag lightly.
Then operate the parking brake to center the shoes and double check for brake drag.
If they drag, dial it back two teeth, re-operate the parking brake, and check for drag again.
