New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ABFS02132
This video shows you how to install rear brake pads and rotors on your 2002-2008 Dodge RAM. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2002 Dodge Ram 1500
2003 Dodge Ram 1500
2004 Dodge Ram 1500
2005 Dodge Ram 1500

[@Mahhn]

failed to say how to back off the ebrake adjuster n the drum. the only hard part.

[@wessunde2801]

It would've been nice if you went over the parking brake shoes / portion of the rear brake system. Otherwise, good video.

[@wessunde2801]

Alternately, if the parking brakes are another video, that could be mentioned when removing and/or installing the drum disk.

Thanks for not showing how to release the brake inside the rotor.
