@2:58 what he call the 'shim' is actually the seal carrier and part of the drum-to-spindle seal (it mates witha a rubber ring on the spindle). It should NOT drop right into the drum as shown - it should be a light press fit. If it isnt either the seal carrier or drum is defective.
I wonder why you wouldn't show us how to put the new bearings installed without the machine press. Anyone who has that is probably aware how to do it already.
Just wondering: if the car has enough miles that the rear bearings have given-out, is it better (and easier) to just purchase a new drum with bearing assembly already installed?
So I noticed in the video you never rotated the hub while torquing, just wondering is that necessary? I noticed when I bought new axle nuts it said torque to 174 while rotating the hub Counter clockwise a minimum of 10 times is that to just insure there is no binding
Why take out the bearing in pristine new rotor. I just put the new drum with bearing in the car. Why not take off the bearing from the old drum like in real life. Not everyone or nobody ever have a super clean drum of their car. 😅

Where can you get the shim?

Should it be 174nM and not ft lbs? or 124 ft lbs
