I was always scared of shoes and drums. This video instilled confidence in me to get the job done correctly. 1A is my go to for my education. Thank you!
Every time I work on my car I hope that 1A auto has a video about it and so far you guys have! Thank you so much for investing time to help the community save some cash!

This is the first place I go to for an automotive "how to" video. I've replaced sway bar links, bushings, windshield washer pump, pads, rotors, coolant, transmission fluid/filter, and a headlight ballast thanks to you guys. DIYing costs a small fortune in tool acquisition, but still wayyyyyy less than paying a mechanic $100/hr to do these repairs.

My friend is replacing rear brakes on my son’s car tomorrow and I’m helping. This video was very detailed and easy to understand!!
I do drum brakes on diesel equipment and trailers for the military, but I came here because my friend wanted me to do her brakes, and I couldn't believe that a 2014 had drum brakes. One thing I will say is that if you haven't done these before make sure not to get any oil or grease on the part of the shoes that touch the inside of the drum.
Just a side note. If you're installing new rear drums, remember to transfer the speed sensor ring from the center of the old drum to the new. If you don't your car will not go over 5 mph and it will display a traction control error on the dash. Been there done that on my 2013.
Thanks for that information.
Wish they would have explained that.
How do you remove it
Typically, these videos are A+. This one gets a C, maybe. If you are just looking for a look at the setup, like I was, it’s ok. ButHe is very low energy and left out key things such as: exactly how much drag you want on the brake drums, guidance on the condition the brake drums should be for reuse, and he left all kinds of grease all over the break shoes.Always clean all grease off of the brake shoes and drums. Good day!
At last , someone that showed how to set the auto-adjuster , well done sir
1a is the BEST how to channel out there to save money, gets to the point with no bs!
A long straight pick and a flat head screwdriver is a good alternative if you can't do it with needle nose pliers. Hook the spring with the pick and put the tip of the pick and insert it into the hole where the spring hooks on. Then use leverage and push the spring down as you stretch it. Then guide the spring end into the hole holding the tension with one hand(the pick)and guiding the spring end with the flat head screwdriver. Works 60% of the time every time.
+@Not2day-Satan Thanks for the feedback!
My process and it may seem excessive, but it works for me as I am older and old school. I lay the new shoes on the ground and as I remove parts I put them where they belong on the new shoes. Then once every part is removed, I lay the old shoes beside the new ones and transfer the parts from the new ones to the old ones so as I look at them, I see just how they were on the car. Now I start the installation process taking a part one at a time and installing it. This all came about because when I started to do this it was many years before computers and cell phones were thought of. He said look at the other side but years ago they did not look the same as cables for the self- adjusters were on the front of the brakes on one side but on the back of the brakes on the other side and after installing things wrong, I adapted the process I described, and it worked so I have stayed with it.
Awesome video! Love the closeups. Too many instruction videos out there where there seems to be more focus on the guy doing the work than the actual work being done. After watching this I finally understand the process and will carry out my first attempt at drum brakes. Thanks 1A Auto!

What do you do if your drum is being stubborn about spinning freely no matter how short you make the adjuster?
This videos great unless the drum is siezed on the axle.... Got the bearing nut off and drum womt come loose
I have done Drum Brakes before, but was not Sure about doing it on a Nissan. Thank You for Video.
Could you not also press in the brakes a couple of times to set the adjuster just right?
Or do you have to set the adjuster right before putting things back together?
Great Video, but my question is about the DRUM BRAKE....I see you put the same old DRUM....I hear is recommend to change it every time when put new Brakes or even is recommended to resurface ....my DRUMS looks OK can i use it without resurface in machine shop?
What are the 14mm and 18mm sockets for? Seems like you only used 21mm socket for the lug nuts and 30mm socket for the disk nut.
Work like a charm, thank you. This was the exact guidance that I needed to make the adjustment on the adjustment bar. Appreciate the video.
This video help me change some shoes.
Good job creating this video and showing how it's done, Properly.
Thank you.
Anytime I need help on how to do something, I can truly count on 1A Auto. I appreciate all of your videos, I know I can now get the job done.
Best video I've seen on this. Especially information about the adjuster. Done step by step with each individual part referenced when it was installed.
Just did mine based on the vid ill let you know how it went after testing
Thanks 4 doing these videos they help so much
Very detailed video.
I learned to day.
GOOD JOB MAN..

NOT EVEN CLOSE. Just worked on a 2016 Versa. No idea what this car is, unless there are significant model variations.
Thanks for this video. I liked how he talked, clear and not fast.

I would like to know if you are a Class A (I guess it's ASE in the States) mechanic? I see way too many people impressed because they don't even know steps are being missed. That was not a professional job. You need to check the cylinder boots by pulling them back gently, inspecting them for dryness, and if fluid has collected in the boot, they are leaking and need replacing. You should inspect the brake lines and bleeder screws on every brake job. And you should always put a little anti-seize on the adjuster threads, at the very least, clean it with brake cleaner. We were taught to lube everything, even the lug studs and the dust cap rims-- then you don't end up with as many struggles when you do the job next time. The e-brake cable lever should be cleaned and the pivot should have a shot of WD40. The springs need to be replaced if coated with rust-- they get very brittle and snap easily. Took me 4 years to get my Class A license-- apprenticing was part of it. Far too many CZcams videos from people who don't even know what they don't know.
Now i know how it work the adjuster on the break. The old system for the break adjustment have open part on the backing plate to adjust. Now i know it great information.
+Melchor Felipe Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
If you can't get drum off is there an opening for the adjuster
You make it look so easy
Hey there! I’m currently doing this job. Passenger side went great thanks to the video! But, on the driver’s side the E brake spring seems too small, and the lever it attaches to doesn’t go back behind the shoe. Any ideas?
I've never seen this type of setup on a light car with the hub and drum and bearing all one piece. Usually on a truck.
Are you sure about the torque on the nut holding drum on? I heard 90 ft pounds not the 177 foot pounds you said. I got to look at service manual and the specs for the torque are missing.
The correct torque is 90lb ft. I read the information on my service manual for versa 2018 .
Well done video. Thanks and best wishes!
Great video thanks.
Does anyone have more detail on how the autoadjuster works?
Lets say theoretically I put everything back and the adjuster was way too loose. Would it eventually over time adjust itself to be correct, or will it take manual adjustment?
Reason I ask is because after doing this the parking brake is not quite strong enough, but when I make the adjuster push outward more, I can’t get the drum back on…. 😵💫
Dude any luck???
GREAT JOB! , NICELY DONE,
finally a video that used the BRAKE CLEANER, & put on GREASE, LOVE IT! now that's what I call a PROFESSIONAL!!! 👍 👌👏
Good video still wasn’t adjusted right though there has to be a little resistance when you turn that drum.
Great video , thanks!
Thanks
Do you need to put new bearing nut ? The nylon plastic whatever in the lock nut distorts after first tightened a reused axl nut will not hold correct torgue and could even work lose ???
You guys rock
Wondering how that DRUM came off. Ty
Does the other side have the parking brake lever also?
can i ask if you guys sell that spring plyers? If not, who makes them?
Excellent video, thank you very much.
+steven uttecht Thanks for checking us out. Shop here for high quality auto parts: :1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Got new spring kit from O'Reillys but the upper spring seems a little short I'm having trouble putting it back on. The old upper spring broke any ideas ?
My drum definitely did not "slide right off"
Great video! I have a question. If the adjuster is self adjusting what is the reason for the manual adjustment first?
+Andy A You want to adjust so the part fits between the two shoes it auto adjusts with tension of you braking and releasing the brake, it doesn't do that automatically before install.
IT ONLY ADJUSTS ONE WAY. ONCE SET, IT ONLY ADJUSTS OUT.
Andy A +, just to recap what "1A" replied, once you put back the drum when you're finished, the B. SHOES are way out of ADJUSTMENT, So, you have to manually ADJUST them, then AUTOMATIC ADJ. is there for ACTIVATED, for every time you BRAKE W/Foot pedal & using the E. BRAKE too , how ever keep in mind, that the AUTO ADJ. doesn't always work, once it is covered with Brake DUST, W/ that said you have to help it out & do it MANUALLY...
@@stephil1900 only set out as brakes wear , need to manualy reset in when new pads are installed , or you'll never get the drums back on
This is a superb video. Good camera work to actually get in there and see what's going. Great explanation. Everything you could ever want to know about this change is in here. Excellent! Keep up the great work!
Great video!
That is a really good video and helpful thankyou so much.
+Filiberto vargas Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thanks for the videos. You guys left out a seriously important part. Swapping out the bearing on the drum.
Nice job!
Btw, why list 14 and 18 mm sockets? They are not needed on the rear drum brakes.
Very helpful video only thing I don’t understand is why Nissan is putting drum brakes on newer models? S13’s had disk all the way around.the only Nissan I seen with drums is my dads old hardbody and I figured that was just a older truck thing more so older thing.I only did them once and kind of disappointed with Nissan for putting these in new cars wth Nissan?I’m going to go google one logical reason it doesn’t have disk it doesn’t even seem cheaper to manufacture
So after quick look it’s cheaper. That’s sad they would cheap out with brakes.
Outstanding
Can you guys please do a video for drum brakes for a 2016 Sentra??? Because of you guys i was able to fix many things on my 99 Pontiac sunfire!

Honestly.. it's literally the same thing.. i had a friend of mine who replaced my drum brakes sentra 15 (same as 16) and all the stuff you see here is the same as our sentra.
There will be some slight differences, such as how the drum comes off, but the basic brake set up is the same. Make sure to clean the shoes and the drum. Do not put back a dirty drum on top of greasy brake shoes. Also, do you want just a tiny bit of drag. With the wheel on you should get maybe one turn if you spin it freely Before the wheel stops.
You are very good, thank you very much
+Latif Thanks for checking us out! We hope this helps you out with your repair!
@@1AAuto yes help me 100%, you get today new subscribe 🙂 🙂🙂
Will this work on a sentra as well
Yes
Did my brakes as you did now my hand brake goes all the way up. Please help
What happens when the drum wont slide back on nicely, where was the third option?
Do you have a video on how to replace the drums? My 2015 Versa Note drums include the studs and the wheel bearing. How do you remove the studs? How do you remove and replace the wheel bearing?

FYI to all.
I have a 2015 Micra. Same rear brakes. In 2017, the self adjusters were seized and not spinning. I had to take them apart and free them up. Make sure yours are working properly. Today, I had the rear drums off again. The self adjuster on the passenger side was not seized, but is not working. No brake dust in the drum and drums spins freely. I may have to replace it. Also, both rear drums are VERY DIFFICULT to slip over axle shaft. Any ideas on how to make this process easier? Thx.
Why didn't you remove the adjuster and clean and grease it? Are they different than domestic cars?
Kansas G. +, I wondered about that too, unless maybe he forgot for the sake of the video, Hmmmmm - 🤔
Surprised there was not a castle nut and cotter pin.
I recently replaced my rear brake drums. After installing the brake drums, I notice the E-Brake doesn’t have any pressure. There is no tension at all when I pull it up… what do I need to do?
I have the same question as you but I see that nobody replied
You might need to adjust the tensioner on the rear shoes as the shoes may not be spread out enough to touch the drum. This can result in sinking pedal and slack on the e brake. This may also cause that the e brake does not engage and may not brake the vehicle when the emergency brake is applied. Hope this helps!
Find yourself someone who looks at like you like he looks at the cameraman @ 0:48
Are you guys sure about that 177 ft lb torque?
I followed this 2 years ago and the rear wheel bearings on both sides are now shot at 70K miles.
I saw another video recently where they used 90 ft lbs.
I am wondering if that one is actually correct.
+Steve P Thank you for the question. Our Torque specs are correct based on the information we are working off on.
What about the nut? Is it reusable? can it loosen? since this one has a type of nylon.
Are the 2012 1.6 Liter and the 2012 1.8 Liter front brakes the same?
+Josh Pelletier Thank you for the inquiry. They are not the same. We have front brake sets for the 1.6L, part 1ABFS02980 and for the 1.8L, part 1ABFS00831.

Thanks! Dude! Great excuse explaining and interesting! 👍🏻👍🏻
Brake clean....BRAKE CLEAN, 😂
What do yo call those type of pliers that make a little ring at the end?
Hose pliers
Farscarper11 +, those pliers are actually made to pull off VACCUM HOSES, I got mine from, "HARBOR FREIGHT" , if I'm not mistaken they come in a 3 - pc. kit with bigger pliers like for Radiator HOSES, they work great, you gotta add them to your TOOL COLLECTION.... 👌
Those are called hose remover pliers
Y no impact
177 foot pounds??????
Can anyone explain why nissan made this so complicated and unnecessary
You are not supposed to touch the pads with dirty gloves. You are also supposed to carefully clean all the parts you remove. Why would you place dirty parts back on. At least clean them with brake cleaner and scrub them carefully since they are off already. Sloppy job. If you are going to do a video, do it right. Show it the right way. Do it professional. Not with an amateur mechanic. But the point was shown on how to replace pads.
