I love this lady she makes theses videos 100x better lol
Sue, Len and Andy are some of the best instructors on the internet! Thanks!
Omg when she was doing mistakes I was cringing so hard. But it's a good lesson to teach people so they do it right.
Oh man! Man! Come on man!
I didn’t. Anyone who has seen her other videos knows Sue is the brake expert and knows better. She pretended to screw up for our entertainment and education. :)
I wanna celebrate New Years with this lady.
🤣
Me tooo
A minute in an I already love this woman! My mother taught me as a kid how to do brakes, oil and fluids. She also taught me a lot of home remedies and being good with my hands. I’m thankful for that because it lead me to where I am today. I love working with my hands and tinkering. I’m here today because I haven’t touched drum brakes in over 20 years. Need a refresher. All of my vehicles have been disk. Super easy. I’ve always found these to be slightly more daunting.
FWIW, anytime I go to Home Improvement or Auto shops, I’ll always try to talk to the woman that is working. 9/10 they’re on their A game. They know where everything is and I find them to be more helpful and knowledgeable than the men. Always pleasant and patient. Shout out to all of you bad ass women! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That was awesome! Enjoyed all the mess ups and screw ups like the brake line zip tied to the shock! 😁👍🏻

😂😂I was putting them factory clips back on the drums for work. Noted✍🏾
I applied the e-brake and pumped the brakes with the drum off, and now I can't fit the drum back on anymore.
What do?
Great vid. I'd love working with her in a shop. She sounds fun.
Excellent Teacher!!
Awesome
Thank god for this video...my wife's cars drum brakes are starting to wear down and I told her I could replace them and said no wait until they start squeaking I'm like no babe that's dangerous....not only that but I like gaining experience from doing something like this and saving money
My wife is gonna learn sooner or later bad brakes dont last long at all
Drum breaks almost never come with the metal tabs that squeak. They do sometimes squeak when the drums surface is really damaged like the ones in the video but driving like that is dangerous
For disc brakes only. Once I hear the warning whistle, as I call it. I start saving money up for the brakes. Depending on how much you drive, or brake,,should be about a month. 2 Easy. But not guaranteed. Gather up the money. And if I have the money already, I go ahead and buy the brakes and throw them in the trunk. I personally will let the warning whistle go for a while. But as soon as the brakes grab hard, within the next seven or or eight days, I replace my brakes.
That vehicle looks like it came in from 'Jersey!! Lol 😆
Great demo Sue! Funny too!
I love the way she explains!!!!
Thank you for going over proper E-brake adjustments. Nobody else has. Not even Chris Fix or the other big names. I'll be sure to double check that with mine.
so great to see a Lady doing this, tried hard to teach both my kids {girl & boy} all bout how to fix your car, given my daily driver is a '64 Merc so easy to teach them
Love the energy you put out in the videos, thank you :D
Great video for newbees I fondly remember doing many drum brakes over the years. And yes safety first. Thanks The old school guy.

So a question I was planning on replacing my drum brake on the Corolla 2011. Do I need to adjust the emergency line after doing drum brake?
Nice video of what not to do. Still unsure if I want to do the rear brake drums for my 2009 Honda Fit. Not a rusted mess like this car ! All of it’s miles in the South !

I've never had to adjust a brake cable doing that job unless the brake cable was too loose. And to adjust the brake cables on a system like that,you put on the new brakes, you close the adjustment so that the brake drum slides on uncomfortably but not too tight. Take the vehicle to where you got a lot of room and drive backwards up to about 10 or 15 miles per hour and then slam on the brakes. That will automatically adjust the shoes inside of the brake drum. Caution. Skilled drivers only
Love the video!
Good video
I was so happy to see another film with this fairy lady-mechanic. The film broaden my knowledge on many details of drum brakes. Thank you so much!
Thank you for these tips, that drum looked like it was taken off a wagon it was so old. :)
Great job , funny also! 🙂
Im doing my rear brakes Feb 24, 24 Saturday in my 2011 silverado LT 1500 5.3liter. I have never done it before. Im not a mechanic. So im using your video to help me. Thank u.

Sue and Andy are cool!
That lady is awesome, doing my drums on a 67 cadillac deville, the vice grips made me say ouch!!!! Good times!!!
Love that East Coast vibe! Checking the other side was called the Polish Blueprint.... It might be right LOL! Loved the vid... !!!
Awesome 😎
should re-title this to 'mistakes I made when doing my brakes'.... can't wait to see how many I made, lol

I have no garage. If i block or chalk my front 2 tires and put my rear axle on jack stands, is it safe to put truck in neautral to test the drag on the brake shoes and drum ?
My gramps always called that a flare nut wrench 5:59. Thanks for the great video.
you are one impressive lady. thanks for your videos
Just put new wheel cylinder brake pads drum on driver side.
The old one had a yellow plastic spacer in between the drum and hub..
Turned the wheel bearing and drum get a grinding sound 90% sure it's not the shoes. Pretty sure it's the backing plate.
Do I just put a new spacer or is there a way I can figure out where the grinding is on the backing plate and drum?
Do you have a video showing this process??
Well done. Always learn heaps and refresh old learning by watching these vids. You're a great tech;-)
Loved this, it's like watching Larry The Cable Guy pretend to be ASE certified lol
I love this video, reverse psychology works really well.
She's awesome! 👌🏾💯
But nit all cars have use brake fluide for their Parking brakes , I guess , they just use the Small pedal to activate the Parking brakes ,is that right ?
Just like the Acadia 2007 !
I love this smart lady
the tip with heat was gold!
Just like watching a movie fun and scary 😧 lol good video 👍
After installing a new drum and clips one of the clips came off inside the drum. Assuming it was put on correct what would be another reason for it to pop off???
I ruined a brand new wheel cylinder because I was trying to bleed the brakes with the drum on lol thanks for the info I didn’t know what I did wrong I replaced my wheel bearing and the last thing I have left is to do the rear drum brakes and I was having difficulty bleeding them. You helped a lot sometimes the simple things help people so much!
With the drum off I’m sorry
By the way... Happy Women's Month!!!! This woman deserves every salute she's having.
She's a great actress 👍🏾 Great Work!
I'm not sure if it's going to stop. I never saw her bleed that brake, which is a must after replacing that line.
Nice video 😮😮😅😅😊😊😊
Hi you are good ❤
133k miles and never had brakes done???? I'm surprised there is any brake lining even left on those shoes and I'm surprised she didn't have to cut the drum off, or pull the axle shaft out to get the drum off.
2 weeks ago the mechanic replaced my rear brake shoes. Now my two rear brake cylinders are leaking fluid on the drum shoes and have ruined them. What do you suppose they did that could have caused that?
I just removed both my rear brake drums for the first time ever! My secret. I used my $200 rubber sledge hammer from "Mac's Hardware." It is a 12 lb. Deadblow hammer that is 36" long. The drum had rust welded itself to the shaft that centers your wheel on the hub. 5 good whacks all over and it came right off!
One subtle point I’ve messed up in the past is getting the shoes on the correct front or rear orientation. Was hoping to see that here. Also I don’t know how you New England folks can stand working on so many corroded parts all the time. 😨
Always remember if short shoe in the front long shoe to the rear. Unless both shoes are the same length on the breaking pad itself. Back in the day they called it a short shoe and a long shoe short shoe to the front long shoe to the rear
Bought a 2007 Saturn ion 2. Both front tires would skid when hard braking. Both rear wheel cylinders were bad. Replaced front rotors and calipers and pads. Then rear shoes and cylinders. Now my driver rear locks up and skids on hard braking. What did I do wrong?😢
She’s always fun to watch
lol I am just asking did you use an old rusty vehicle from any type of junk yard. I'm just saying you had a great time ripping the old looking brake bums apart. Also thank you for demonstrating.
Welp I know have anxiety attacks thank you……. X3 awesome video.
Tubing wrench... so same thing as flare nut wrench?
I really need help with a nissan 2013. sv with
I took it to the shop to check brakes because they were low. Then the mechanic said it need to replace all nrakes in order to give me guarantee of the job. I let him to replace them and the car still the same.
So, i took it to Midas they are specialists in brake. and their disgnostic is the master cilinder and they were about to charge me 900 dlls . It is a lot of monet so i decide to do it myself, I replace the master sylinder but i have the same problem. What you can tell me to fix my problem? im desperate. This is my daughters car and i wanted to return ir to her but im frustrated with mechanics that tehy only want to rake advant of ppl.Please help me
#1 Never go to Midas, it's always $900 and honestly I'd avoid all major corporate chain places to look at it.
#2 If you've already paid for repairs they should guarantee their work till it's right. Have you told them? Or called a corporate office maybe?
#3 What happens when you pump the pedal does it get harder to press or stay low?
#4 Have you tried an online forum for your specific model vehicle?
#5 You could buy an online Haynes manual as a guide
What is usually the cause for the brake shoes to get stuck when you disengage the emergency brake?
That drum looks amazing compared to my brothers: no pad material and part the brake drum separated hanging like a wedding band around the shoes😅😅😅
I was about to scream to my phone when she didn't have safety glasses on! Great video.
This lady is so awesome

Mention/explanation of radiusing (adjusting arc) of shoes to match (or slightly smaller than the drums can prevent some ugly problems “down the road”.
My truck has the stock push nuts on the drums at around 130K, but the drums look great and I was almost tempted to not even replace the pads. But I'm in Texas, have owned the truck since 20K, and don't brake aggressively.
The slave cylinders both weep around the seals though, so I'm going to have to order them and go back in.
I hate to say this but they do still make rivited brake shoes.
All the major brands still do. Not sure where she gets her info from.
2002 Ford Focus ZX3. Four disc brakes. Thank God ;-)
This is one of my favourite 1AAuto videos!
I’m honestly amazed she was able to get all that rusty crap out so easily.
+Anonymous Thanks for the feedback!
She's a warrior 💪
