i like to work on my vehicle myself, so help would be nice thank you...How do i change rear drum brakes and what tools do i need?
You will need to lift and support the car. (Jack and jack stands) You will need lug wrench to remove wheel. You will have to back down the brake shoes (brake adjusting tool) to get the drum off. You might want a large slip joint pliers or tool to remove brake springs. You also want some Brakleen to clean the parts. Go to a good parts store and ask about brake tooks for your car.How do i change rear drum brakes and what tools do i need?
besides the obvious to get the tire off, basic hand tools are all you need to do drums.
Take tire off,
pry off dust cap with screwdriver
remove rotor (sometimes you need a bolt or two and socket to back the rotor off the assembly as they might be frozen on there)
Once off, needle nose pliers to remove the spring clips and spring. (take a picture of the assembly if you've never done it before so you will and see it when you put it back together)
Brake clean etc.
remove and replace the pads etc.How do i change rear drum brakes and what tools do i need?
Go to the local auto parts store and invest in the Chilton's or Hayes repair manual for your vehicle! Will be the best investment you ever made and you'll be sure to have %26quot;good%26quot; information. On here, there are too many idiots posting stupidity!
