    YOU FORGOT... to grease the most important part, the brake caliper slider pin/bolts. The majority of dragging brake problems is caused by the slider pin/bolt seizing up from being rusty, or not having enough grease.

    I guess I missed what brake pads should be illegal on your car... Still, you missed two important items. The first is cleaning and lubricating the caliper pins. If you fail to do that, the pads tend to wear on the piston side. The second is the parking brake. You didn't even check the shoes, located inside the rear rotor.

    • @Corsairforu

    • @daeljuma
      @daeljuma 4 роки тому +11

      @Mark Codiroli That's because you don't open the bleeder. The fluid flows back into the MC reservoir. Or maybe that's how you do it on your rocket ships...

    • @williamyocum4774
      @williamyocum4774 4 роки тому +3

      @@daeljuma should open bleeder. By pushing brake fluid under pressure back to master cylinder you have the possibility of contaminants, like rust, plugging the small orifices in the ABS module. Brake fluid loves to absorb moisture. That's how it gets brown in color and its boiling point is reduced.

    Minor but *important* detail, Scottie:
    When it's all put back together, *before* starting the car or moving it:
    *PUMP THE PEDAL.*
    That will 'seat' the new pads (or shoes on drum brakes) and avoid nasty surprises, like the pedal going to the floor on your first drive.
    Also keep an eye on the fluid level.

    I replaced the rear drum brakes on my taurus last summer.
    Doing both took me a week. Every day I walked to and from work and then worked on it haha.
    Out there hammering the hell out of it for hours. At one point I used a prybar and broke a chunk of the drum off but it wasn't too helpful.
    Once you get it all apart its pretty simple to replace the guts. Then getting a new drum on is difficult but not as much as removal.
    One drum took 3 hours to remove. The other took at least twice as it had fully expanded and wore one side of the brake to metal. (so that's why it was squeaky in reverse..)
    Fairly 'easy' procedure that is either going to take you minutes or hours depending on rust and the situation of the brake assembly xD

      I heard of it as "German Torque spec." as opposed to "wrench" without the "enYa!...".Which in a way is ironic as Germans are often more 'fastidious" (you can use the 'a...' word if you wish) about tightening to a specified torque than Americans.
