How to change drum brakes

In this video I will be showing you how to properly and safely change your drum brakes. I will teach you everything from all of the tools and supplies you will need, what all of the parts are called, how they work, how to adjust your brakes, and how to test your brakes.

Plus I will be teaching you in such a way that all of this information will stick even better for the long term. Don't worry if my drum brake set up isn't exactly like yours, you will still be able to figure out yours based off of the information, tips, and tricks that I will show you. This is not a quick how to just put the parts on video, it is an in depth instructional video that WILL make you feel more confident in your ability to master drum brakes. Stick it out to the end and you'll be glad you did! This can be a big expensive job so why not try to do it yourself and save money/become a gearhead!

This is another episode of a new series on how to become a GEARHEAD! If you have ever wondered how people know so much about cars and are absolutely crazy about anything with a motor, then this is a great series for you. This is geared towards people that have no knowledge of cars but want to learn; however, the content in my videos does try to make solid connections between theory and practical applications so even seasoned gearheads will find the info useful. Tired of paying other people money to fix your car? Then ya gotta learn this stuff!
