Did this model have only one spring on the top set of shoes? I just did a 1999 Explorer and pit in a complete new hardware kit. It has two of the springs on top, first car I've ever seen with a spring on the o n side and a second on the outside. It appears in your video you only.install one spring.? Mine has two. Did you just figure they only need one?
due to the age of that vehicle, and with all the corrosion, you would've been best to replace all the hardware including the wheel cylinder. The parts to do so are not that expensive. to everybody watching, do not work on drum brakes without the proper brakes spring pliers. You're welcome.
Seriously, thank you for shooting this video. Very informative. Frankly, there aren't enough people in the world this generous with their knowledge.
Good stuff Jim , well done.!
Glad you enjoyed it
