My emergency brakes don’t work at all. I can have it pulled all the way up and drive down the road with no resistance. Should be interesting to see what’s going on in there.
For my 2008 Libby I bought "loaded" backing plates from MOPAR - on sale. I removed the (rear) axle shafts/hubs in order to install the loaded backing plates. Removing and replacing the axles was easy. BTW - if your after-market parking brake shoes do not match the end details of the OEM shoes, you will never be able to get proper parking brake action.
If you put your finger on the back of the slipper spring to hold the pin forward it comes out much easier. Ditto the comments about cleaning it up in there, and those handbrake actuator levers are essential to lube.
Dust or backing plate is shot. The heads of the bolts on mine were all snapped off, and the plate was rubbing on the rotor making a grinding noise. Had to cut the plate off, which is unfortunate, because some of the e-brake shoe parts connect to it. Would have to drill and tap to get the new plates on.. So whether or not you want a working ebrake comes into question.
Datzfunk you can fix them on both sides, put a longer screw for velocity sensor and drill the plate on that side, on the other side you can easily drill a 3.2 hole and screw it with a 3.5 screw.
Sorry mate but your backplate is completely shot it shouldn't be moving at all so your shoes are going to squeal and rub.the back plates are held on by rivets. Need to re do this repair when you know what your doing.
How not to do the job! Never cleaned the dust off. Never put copper slip in shoes. Didn't know how to simply remove shoe holder clips. Never roughed shoes up to help bed in. Never cleaned inside drum. Didn't check pads. Adjusted shoes whilst drum loose!! Tightened wheel with gun, not torque wrench. Wouldn't work for me or on my vehicles.
Ever think of cleaning things up with a wire brush while you're in there and greasing the contact surfaces of the backing plate? Might be a great idea! Oh wait... you can't do that because your backing plat's shot and will fall apart.
i quit watching when he stabbed his self with a screw driver ,video to dark and he should put his finger on the back to hold the pin in so he can get the clips out .he should take his car to the shop to get it fixed
Just bought an '06 Liberty Renegade...this is gonna be handy. Well done and thanks!!
Great camera work. I feel like I was able to see everything even though it was in a crammed space. Thanks
I appreciate this video easy for beginner to follow🙂. Definitely showed me that I dont have to wait for the adhesive to set🙄.
Just how I will do it -- cut myself, drop stuff, put it in backwards. But it gets done! Thanks.
Great video, thanks for showing the process!
Thanks the road test is best part so much fun locking the parking brake and stopping with the tires squealing maybe spin the vehicle around.
I did my '04 but I bought all new hardware. Much better that way. Also lub the points where the shoes rub on the backer plate.
Thank you sir for the video, working on mine today very helpful for the DIY world lol
Thank you! I'm doing this today on my 06 Commander 😁
I’m doing mine today. It’s a commander so this 30 minute job will turn into 4 hours. 😂

Thank you sooooo much! From a poor fella who has to keep his cars running..
Ha, glad you included your screw up moments, if they're going to happen, they're going to happen to me. It is nice to know in advance.
Thank you.. lol I can't believe you got the adjuster backwards.. its fine.. it's only the PARKING BRAKE/ EMERGENCY BRAKE
Thanks for your help.. goood video very good explain..👍
What’s holding the backing plate on ? Why no grease on the contact pads the shoe rides on? Why put old rusty hardware back in?

Good lighting on close ups. That backing plate was nasty. Did this work out OK over time?
That was the best ending 😅 thanks for the video
Most relatable video ever lol

Interesting floating backing plate…How did you fix it again later?
I had to change out my axle seals... So I just went ahead an did parking brake shoes. Much easier without the axle there

I could not find backing plates for a decent price for our 2006 Liberty.

Thanks
That happened to me too! The shoe material just fell off. The whole reason I'm changing them
the backing plate is meant to be bolted down, not floating. Yours is so rusted that the mounting points don't exist.
Dude you need backing plate
how are you not changing those backing plates? its not a "full floating" system !
Ian Nicoll maybe full floating works better than the original poor design who knows LOL
everything about the e-brake system on the jeep liberty is shit... worse design ever... great video thou...
How not to do the job!

Could use more light

Maybe this guy should have practiced before attempting to film himself
he was practicing on this video for sure, it looks like he wants to learn how to install breaks drum shoes
