Mine are similar but only make the squealing in Reverse

 

Oh, yeah I can see how that would be an issue with drums

Hopefully YouTube will teach me what I need to know

 

I have watched like a dozen youtube videos and still not comfortable trying it so I will let the man @Texoma take care of it when I get around to ordering the parts. Still need to replace my drive belt and clean up the timing cover too. I been letting that one go for like 2 years

 

I mean it’s not overly complicated but very tedious. Josh @Beretta4x4 watched me for about 20min fighting one spring he finally stepped in and made it look easy.. I would of been there all day fighting it there’s no quit in me.

 

Stock calipers?

 

It’s a lot of finnicky shit like setting up those god damn springs

 

Making some fun bottle openers!
Will have available soon!

 

@riz_atx if you do your drums I’d highly suggest every time you change something, take a pic after so you can retrace your steps

 

I was planning on this for that reason as well as maybe even for the gram

 

Whoa Nelly! When I did mine at about 197K, and discovered it was the first time, I had a whopping 0.5mm of material on the shoes! No wonder it felt "weak"!

 

That's probably metal to metal in that direction!

 

You got a spring-spoon tool? Makes those stupid springs and caps much easier. Cheap tool too. Still hated it.

 

Ya I do

 

Bet my tool is older than you!

 

It's easy. You can get the sorting tools, but honestlyyou can do the whole thing with a flathead screwdriver and needle-nose pliers.

As long as it's not CV axles.

Stock 4-piston calipers.

I really like that, Cody.

 

HahahA

 

Still, Josh builds guns! I'd never touch a drum brake again without the spoon, because it's just less than $10 and really works.
I went the screwdriver and needlenose, and threw them at the car. Then I got the tool!

$16 Lisle 46750 Brake Spring Tool

The tool is nice to have, but I didn't start with one. I learned to do 99% with needle-nose and the adjustment is what I use the flathead for.

 

The needlenose let the flat spring hit me in the nose, and the spring over the tab launch into the neighbors yard!

 

Missed that post! Bring 'em to COTA. I know a guy that can't drink will buy one!
