Here is a full length version of a video that I posted some time ago, this way you can watch the entire thing in one sitting instead of switching from one video to the next. If your watching this for the first time I'm aware that sandals are not the best thing to wear when doing auto repair. In addition there IS a jack stand just out of frame in the video I just leave the floor jack in place while I work normally where it is so that it's quicker to let the car down when I'm done.

I am a mechanic and the entire job was spot on. All you fucken knockers out there are pissed off you cant do your own. Good job Eric, all the best from australia.

Watched a million how to videos and after watching your video I understand why you have the subscribers you have. Your video/s are direct and to the point and you explain so a person can understand how and why during your vid. Explain the parts as they come off of what they do and the importance of properly re installing. Great job dude!!!!!!!!

I'm watching this film almost 9 years later, Eric. Your channel was the first automotive based one I subscribed to three years ago when I started doing my part time automotive repair work. Since then I subscribe only to automotive experts like yourself for tips and the correct ways of doing my repairs. I've been more of an automotive DIYer all my adult life and I really don't want repair advice from another DIYer especially when I'm working on some one else's car. I'm sure 100 subscribers seems like a lifetime ago, huh? Keep up the great work!

1.6 Million subs, for a humble guy who was happy with 100. Thanks for all the help over the years!

Wow! In less than 4 years he went from 100 subscribers to 540k subscribers!

Eric, I found a much easier way to adjust rear brake drums! Start your car put in reverse and while reversing pull the hand brake while moving. The self adjuster does both sets of brakes for you. And there is no guessing whether they are both adjusted the same as they will stop adjust either brake when it gets to the required tolerance...

Thanks for this good video. I'm 83 and about to start replacing the rear drum brakes on my old 1978 Dodge Colt 4 door sedan. I've replaced brakes on other cars during my lifetime, but your video refreshes my memory of how to do the job correctly. Much thanks.

I never seen this video till today buddy and your already and have been for a year or so one of my go to guys for car repair tips and advice. Keep crushing it and remember the number of subscribers and comments you have today do not reflect the amount of people you have helped currently or will help in years to come. Thank you Erick for your time.

I'm by no means an expert but I found that using vise grips on the straight portion of the top springs works quite well. Engage at 90 degrees to the spring and pull towards the spring post. It takes strong hands and wrists (and a good bite with the vise grips) but it's fast, and there's nothing on the spring end getting in the way. :)

100 subs in 2011. 4 years later, 616,000 subs. Nice.
-
Once again Eric, you completely show me what I need to know to get the job done. Backyard mechanic, 07 Chrysler Sebring with rear drum brakes. Thank you so much sir!

Are those sandals OSHA approved?
-
I hate drum brakes. Probably because I had the emergancy brake on while attempting to get the drum off. Yes, I am an idiot.
-
i wish they outlawed drum brakes because of how much time they take.
-
I appreciate the drum brake refresher. Please don't forget to use jack stands for your safety, and remember to clean the brake shoes after you get them greasy during installation.

Just looking back. What an accomplishment you've achieved. As I write this, you're at 1.2 million subscribers, just a touch more than the 100 in this video.
