Hello everyone, for those who need it, I uploaded a short video of the process to install the brake shoe springs here:
ua-cam.com/video/ukUjdceDWBM/v-deo.html
As a mechanic student, this helped me to clear up some things about drum brakes. Nice video! Keep it up
Thanks pex. Keep grafting - glad my little video helped a bit 👍
Brother, they are disc brakes 😂
The only part I needed was skipped. How do you put the main spring on around the cable lever ? I have one side out and its a nightmare, could not get the spring to stretch and hook on the hole.
You also skipped it , so I'm guessing my 40 minutes of trying is what you did. It would have been nice to show it.
Exactly!! I watched 4 videos now and everybody skipp this part like wtf thats where ive been stuk!!
@@BoQ7NiiZz I did it. I went to an auto parts store and got a "special" plier, called brake spring plier. Weird looking end with a small hook. It made is a tiny bit easier, but still super hard. I also got a friend helping with the stabilizing the spring. Tough to get it through that small area and keep it steady to pull it all the way up. Not easy
Superb video, thanks so much Pamo. Brilliant presentation, clear and concise. The best video explaining these brakes. Worked for my BMW E91 as well. The test card was a bit unfair as you skipped the hardest bit! I understand why though as it's a real struggle. To remove the shoes I levered the top of the shoe out of the adjuster. To put the new shoes in I joined the top spring, fitted the adjuster, installed the shoes, fitted the spring pins then levered the bottom spring in with a screwdriver. Getting the disc off, even with the handbrake backed off, required lashings of WD40 and a big hammer.
Thanks a lot, did everything myself from watching your movie. Thanks!!
Thanks for watching C.G.
Nice job. Did the same just recently. But Bmw states not to grease the slide pins tho...i just cleaned them up and put them back in...
When u se the Nurburgring tato u know that he knows his shit 👍
Top video pal, thanks for that. Taking mine to bits at the moment and couldn't figure out how to get the shoes off!
DannyDC2 Thanks Danny, I've been watching a few of your ring videos...I was a crx guy a few years ago so seeing the dc2 flying is a pleasure. Glad I could help!
Pamo oh nice one mate! Seems to be a fair few who like Honda & BMW. I ended up having a right job getting the hand brake cable out, was probably the original one as it was solid! 👍
A fun game i've not played yet...its on the list!
Not all heroes wear capes
Very helpful thank you!
Nice rotors there! Did you have to use a different caliper to put those vented rotors on? Nice work mate!
They're stock rotors for the car buddy. 323i came with vented from the factory here.👍
Good job, well made video about the subject, not about you, well done, Its great you havnt fallen into the usual personality projection pissing about.
Im getting a clonk from the diff when going power on / off, I bet you know it.
Best wishes to you
Thanks for your kind words.
I did this today and can't get the drum to go on over the new shoes. Anyone help please?
Make sure the adjuster is wound right to it's minimum point.
Thanks for info..will have a go later :)
well explained, might be nice to change gloves and/or clean the shoes once in to avoid greasing up the braking surface.
Good advice, i would do both
Good Job Brother!
What's the usual interval on the shoes?
Mine's (an E46) about to reach 80,000 and I'm doing the rear discs and pads; wondering whether or not to bother with the shoes.
I'm not sure but they are cheap and not as difficult to change as they seem. After 80k I'm fairly sure they'll be well worn.
@@ManSeeksCivic 13 quid is a good price for all four, I think. I'll just do the buggers ;).
@@JMUDoc good stuff buddy. It takes a little longer but it's one of those "do it once" jobs 👍
Is grease the best thing for that lubricant? Wouldn't it attract dirt
It's a trade off. Yes it will attract dirt, but the benefit outweighs the downside in my opinion. These mechanisms suffer quite badly now. Anything to help them out makes me happy.
Great job and bits of advice! Mine has a LSD and I can't see if it is tight enough. Nice Nürburgring tatoo!
Iván Lamas ooh... I'm jealous... No limited slip here... Maybe one day. Thanks for the comment on the tattoo... It's car guy heaven!
Pamo I had a US M3. Now I'm driving a 1992 325i. About the ring, I been there. Did some research, some other training in virtual sim, and rented a gt86. Had the best day of my life in green heel. Check my videos if you will (I'm from Argentina)
I see you have a diff video, mines a 2.8 Z3.
Any insight into this from you all would be appreciated .
I'm no expert but it should be similar to mine. Unless it's an lsd diff.
@@ManSeeksCivic Thanks, yes, its got a lsd. I guess first get under and rotate a wheel to hear the clonk.
And check to make sure that there's no leaks, change the fluid for good new lsd diff oil and once all that's done you'll have a good idea of the condition! The m3 diff is known for a clunk - I believe due to the backlash between the pinion and main gear set. Rebuilding an lsd diff is a whole other ball game than my video though, and best left to the professionals. 👍
my 318 wheels were locked up, i had it looked at and the parking break cams were siezed
Very common unfortunately 👍. I'm doing another car right now made in 2008 and it was completely solid inside the disks.
What body it has? Touring? Never seen mud flaps like this on the rear
Coupe mate. Mud flaps were not on the car when I got it....I have a thing for mudflaps.
I hate those damn springs...
ดีมากครับ
I love when they edit out the hard part SHOWING HIM ACTUALLY PUTTING THE PADS ON because he didn't wanna look like an asshole
There's no special way to stretch a spring. Its not hard, just requires patience. Sorry you're disappointed.
This mechanic doesent no about safety if the jack or stand will fail it will cutt his foot😶
Show us the awkward way to do it but doesn't show the "easy way"
Removing the hub being the "easy way" I assume. Or do you have some tricks and tips you can share here?
I don't see any brake shoes
Hmmm ........ok.
