Rear Breaks replacement

Any treads on replacing rear breaks
Going to do mine soon, haven't messed with all those springs in a long time.

 

Best piece of advice is to take pictures on each side before and after and try to do one side at a time. I would also try to take it apart as an assembly if at all possible. Get a new spring kit from the auto parts store they are cheap and it makes things 100 times easier

Thanks for the suggestions
Will do
Let ya know how it goes

 

Pretty much all drum brakes are a similar design so just watch a YouTube video for a how to drum brake replacement and that should give you a good starting point. And as mentioned, one side at a time and take pictures for reassembly.

 

I just did mine....just remember to adjust your parking brake correctly when you are finished. Manual or auto?

 

Auto
This is my 3rd Taco
Never had to do the backs before, they usually last forever.
I'm at 150000 now

 

I second that. I removed and inspected my rear brakes two weeks ago and they still had plenty of padding. I'm at 143k miles. I think I'll inspect them again at 200k miles.

 

Just finished brakes
Took about 2hrs total.
I know a little slow but took both sides off and took my time.
Definitely a bit different than others I have done.
Prob had about another 10k to go.
Thanks for all the help!
