I'll be attempting to change the shoes on my Corolla tomorrow evening on my driveway, -4c where I'm based in Ireland so should be fun! Thankfully my back plates aren't rusted so that makes it a bit easier I hope, Thank you for this video
@@orbitaaltube ah the difference is chalk and cheese, your tips worked a treat, I had to change the lot as the back plates were there from new, took ages to break the hubs free as there was 17yrs of rust an dirt holding them on
I’ve just done this job on a Toyota Corolla 2003 station wagon. But the handbrake leaver goes up pretty far before it brakes properly. I’ve adjusted the screws like you did in this video.
It's sort of a balancing act. Best to tighten it up with handbrake off and keep rotating the drum until it gets to the point where it won't turn any longer. Then you know that it is too tight. You then rotate the screw in the opposite direction to loosen the drum slightly. This will mean that with the handbrake off that the drum can rotate freely but that the handbrake will engage nicely when you pull the handbrake as it doesn't have far to travel. Most important part is to test it after adjustment by trying to push the car on flat ground. It if doesn't roll then it's a good sign that it's adjusted correctly. Then try again on a hill to check that the car does not roll back.
Makes sense. I was curious to know your way. Great job there! I have another question. Maybe you can help. I wrote this thread today because I need to be certain I’ll do the right thing. Could you give it a look and het back to me? Ot would be much appreciated. www.corollaforum.com/threads/rear-disc-brakes-with-hand-brake-shoes.13897/
Still watching your video. Great work! I am a little lost because of little information. I have a question. How can the dust plate hold the caliper bracket without a cast iron support? Second question. Could I adapt that dust plate to a EE111 Corolla with a 42305-12090 sub assy carrier? I cannot confirm that the distance between the hub bolts (sub assy carrier) is the same between rear E12 and E11. Do you know if the are compatible? If so I will buy the dust plate you used and adapt it to the E11 hub. Thanks
@@djfrankieflowers Cant help with mixing and matching I just work with OEM setups myself. Dust plate is usually something very filmsy but on these corollas its actually quite thick steel to allow the caliper carrier to bolt to it. Its why they are expensive compared to other brands. As for compatability between E11 and E12 I have no idea bud. If you get onto the corolla facebook groups such as corolla club uk or ireland someone there might be able to help.
Is the rear backing plate neccessary? My parking brake seized and when I got the rotor out then the 2 pieces with metal clip that holds the brakes in place fell out. They seem to be mounted to the backing plate where it has rusted and just goes straight through. Without anything holding the brakes, they were protruding so I couldn't get rotate the hub. But it feels weird that the brakes are reliant on the backing plate which is prone to rusting away.
Yes they are necessary on this model. The backing plates on these also hold the caliper bracket in place and are an integral part of the braking system.
Have a look on eBay for new backing plates for e12. Note for tsport there is no aftermarket available. The only backing plates available are for the 258mm disc on the smaller engined cars such as 1.4 and 1.6 petrol. For the tsport and d4d guys it's a 279mm disc on the rear. So to make the aftermarket backing plates work you just fit the smaller 258mm discs to tsport. Otherwise you have to buy backing plates off main dealer.
I'm having an issue where i fit the brake rotor onto the hub an it barley goes in , on brake shoe tips to the side and the other sticks out preventing me from fitting the rotor if i move around the brake shoes(they move kinda easy even tough i've fitted the pins ) i can put on the brake rotor covering 2 shoes but it won't move
You need to back off the adjuster cog then. It's the bolt at the bottom with a cog attached. If you adjust this the shoes will retract to allow the drum to move freely. You then need to tighten it up again through the hole in the drum as per the end of the video to make sure the handbrake engages properly.
@Orbital Tube Hi, very informative video. I have same car 2005 Toyota corolla .. looking for the rear left backing plate.. from UK .

Very good videos I've had my red T-sport since 2016 so a lot of what you've done I got on my to do list especially those shifter bushes...
Just done this job on my corolla - genuinely couldn’t have done it without your video. Brilliant step by step walkthrough. Can’t thank you enough!
No probs mate
super filmik., dokładna instrukcja
Best toyota hybrid rear brake tutorial I’ve seen. Great job thanks.
You are welcome
Very informative and well made video!!
Great video, very helpfull. Keep it up!
you are welcome, glad it was useful.
thank you verg much it was good the cheng and esy metod
Very comprehensive, doing the same job but have a major rust problem and rounded off nuts 🙄
Yea a plumbers gas torch is a must for working on anything rusty, 6 point sockets and a breaker bar also make life a lot easier. Good luck.

No bother, it was a very cold week last week, I'm in Ireland too. Makes a nice difference to have a good tight handbrake.

Really good stuff doing my dads at the moment in also in NI :)
Fair play, helps to see how it all goes back together.

Sounds like it needs tightened a little more if the handbrake lever is going up too far.
GOOD JOB MATE
You are welcome
Super

Hi
what socket size did you use for removing the four bolts going between the hub and axle? thank you :)
I have no idea. It was one of the sizes in my standard set.
Nice video I had ago today got the outer calliper off . But the 2 bolts that hold the caliper are super rusted on. Any suggestions to get them off
Heat from a gas torch, penetrating fluid, and hammering around the area to try and jolt the rust apart usually helps.
What tourqe did you use on the bolts on rear of bearing please.
Hey Dave, I didnt use a spec for those - just tightened based on experience using the breaker bar.
Did you tighten the hand brake pad spring with the hand brake pulled in order the know when it would block the disc? Thanks

@@orbitaaltube Thanks. Is it possible to do this job without the impact gun to install the lug stud back on?
Can you please send link to that backing plate?

how would u replace the same thing in the front?
Different setup in the front which is just a disc and pads so check out any tutorial from a corolla to see how it's done. Good luck

Can you tell me how to find the dust shield for corolla 2007 online?
What country are you from to understand which model you have?
@@orbitaaltube im from Ireland, looking for same pair for the rear
You put that handbrake cable on way to easy, I spent half hour trying to get mine on, was worst part of the whole job.
Did you have the handbrake released while installing. If the handbrake lever is up inside the car they are a ballache to get back on.
