[@crtmojo2705]

Huge help! That last spring across the top is a pain in the 🫏.

[@westsideken]

I've watched DOZENS of videos on how to repair/upgrade my Civic. This is one of, if not THE, best of them.

Quick tip: Put the adjuster on first before the top spring it will make this job easier. At least it did for me.

[@zachchristianson3345]

What thread bolts to pull drum off? Metric/standard. Pitch?

[@roadcarver71]

Excellent video, thanks for this! Your video shows more of the detail how the parts mate together. The ebrake adjustment can be done more easily if you rotate the hub so the one of the bigger holes will be reveal the adjuster wheel.

[@dolphsplash2563]

Could u tell me what screw u used to remove the brake drum..I don’t wave go buy a bunch of bolts

[@Para-ni5lx]

[@suz5733]

Exelent job, exelent video, thanks

[@soldiersvejk2053]

Very informative!

[@Random.Adventures.]

Thanks and I'm guessing if cylinder pops out we just need to bleed that side correct?

[@LJT9393]

Do you not need to open the lid on the master cylinder or do you want to keep that brake fluid pressure in the wheel cylinders?

[@nuraaurora]

Nice video it really helped me change on mine. But my pedal after the change is spongy. I don't see any leaks, but am thinking I will need to do the air bleed. Di you videos on that?

[@TRQ]

[@falconthree3815]

What size are the bolts to pull the drum loose ?

[@emmanuelmares5702]

M8x1.25

[@optimisthoops]

Need this for my drum and shoe replacement today. Thank you!

[@tazinfluence5356]

Can you do a video doing brake bleeding on rear drums?

[@rosendosalcedo7067]

What name is the tool went you push in the spring I need one

[@businessraptor134]

Ugh... when you clean rust from the contact points you should clean them to BARE METAL... Leaving rust under the grease will make it contine to rust and will eventually bind up and fail prematurely. This is why I do my own work. Techs cut to many corners like he did.. Also _love_ the lack of the inner tie rod installation in the inner tie rod installation video. Top notch. If you choose to buy from these guys do not expect long part life..

[@rastajay9758]

Wht type of grease was used.??

[@alexd4102]

12:02 does that piston look like its leaking brake fluid or is that normal

[@best4-bc5km]

[@hm0112]

2006 brakes are different I believe since that’s an 8th Gen civic vs this being a 7th gen

[@juanmojica2730]

My car would use 2 M8x20 pitch 1.25

[@jonrobinson6851]

[@amzanmohammed2425]

Dirty job. No brake cleaner
