Watching this 10 minute video gave me enough knowledge to replace my rear brakes, thank you for making it really easy to follow!

This series has been fantastically helpful. I'm currently restoring a '67 65cc Aermacchi Harley with very little prior mechanical knowledge.
The last bike I had with drum brakes was my first bike ('92 GS500 craiglist special), and I was too intimidated to work on them myself as a beginner rider.
I like how simply you explained such a weirdly complex mechanism. Definitely still a little intimidating compared to discs, but this makes me a little more confident.
Brilliant you made it very easy for and saved the labour wonderful
Good video. Anyone with mechanical skills could easily do this after watching your video
thanks mate. love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
keep it up!
Good job - thanks for your clear and straightforward advice.👍
Thank you very much for teaching us. I have a Big Boy flame 200 and I have been trying to get its user manual, but I haven't managed. Will you be able to help me at that?
Thanks this is much easier than I thought it was gonna be
Glad it helped!
Thanks for a simple-to-follow video. I just inherited a ratted-out '95 CB250 as a project bike and want to do as much of the work myself as possible. This job looks do-able thanks to you.
Did you ever do the job?
@@lolyouwontfindme6070 yes, thanks to you.
Nice video. Try this on a moped 83 Honda urban express. Thanks
This is one of the best demos ive seen on youtube !! So easy to understand. Is there any danger of Asbestos in modern brake pads? Im going to be doing my Suzuki gn 125 rear brake.
Thanks! Asbestos was used in brakes until about the early 1990's for most manufacturers but it's best to take precautions and treat them like they contain asbestos.
I just replaced the original brake shoes on a 1970 Honda C70M SuperCub.. was starting to take longer to stop, and yeah, because this is the first bike I ever had not used to the new brakes at all used to the old worn-out ones.
Thank you! Very precise info, I can handle this, well done.
Almost exactly like the TC185. I was unsure what part was actually the brake pad, but I think mine are good, and just need to be better adjusted.
Thanks for making this video! Made working on my 1971 honda cb350 a breeze. 😁
For the front drum shoe and the back are they the same size or different
Most helpful and simple video this guy explains stuff great if your new to fixing your bike or Working on it at all definitely flick through the videos crystal clear . Keep up the great work bro ur helping a lot of people from these hungry mechanics
Awesome video I’ve never changed drum brakes but I’m sure I can now.
yeah me too
Thanks man
So I just put a new rear drum on my son's 110 and the adjustment screw is a little more than halfway on before I was able to get a good braking out of it. Where did I go wrong? I don't recall it that far on when I purchased it brand new
So everything goes together dry ? Using no grease on the pivots points ?
I have a baja dr 50 but manual doesn’t tell brake drum size
Do you think a rear drum pads replacement on a ttr230 would be the similar?
Well done video. Thank you.
Hi, my 1998 cr125 started leaking gear oil out of the bottom end, since it is an older bike, I figured it was a gasket issue because I know that the previous owner had never changed them, but if it could be something different please let me know
Yeah, you have a couple of seals that could be leaking. Check the countershaft seal as well as the shift shaft seal, check around your drain bolt and check bold, also your clutch cover gasket. A good way to find a leak is to clean the area then use some spay foot powder in that general area. This will show you exactly where it's coming from, keep in mind that the bike might have to be ridden for the countershaft seal to leak out. -Charles
@@rmatvmc thanks for the tip
what is the metal rod with the spring called? i need a replacement for that
I saw there was no rubber dumper in your hub. our motorcycle uses rubber dumper. what isthr difference? please help.
It sounds like you may have a cush drive. They are meant to absorb vibration and helps to minimize problems with drivetrain components.
After replacing tbe brake shoes on my scooter 50cc the tire didnt go in and i tried to slip the pads so that tire would go inside but still didnt any tips?
حاول ان تفكر في استبدالهم الى frein à disque
Do i have to use brake cleaner when i change my brakes
It is a good idea to use brake cleaner/parts cleaner. Brake shoes will generally have a small amount of oil on them from the manufacturer to help keep them from rusting, but should always be cleaned off before installing them.
My bike is fairly new 1 year old and my drum is starting to have very minor groove. I need frequent brake shoe replacement - I know it depends upon the usage but I feel it isn't normal. Should I claim warranty and get it replaced? Or minor groove is normal? I don't think it is deep such that my finger nail gets stuck in it.
How many sets of shoes have you gone through? It's probably not a big deal, but if there's any question, I'd have your dealer take a look or at least show them some pictures and get their thoughts. -Charles
Great video, really helpful
This is great thanks
Hopefully someone here can help, what if after i put the new brakl shoes in, they dont seat properly IN the drum? its like the new brake pads are stopping it from going int there
Did you get them in there? You should be able to back off the adjustment all the way to get some clearance for the shoes to go in the drum. -Charles
I have a 72 suzuki ts185, and holy shit I can't get my drum brakes out for the life of me.. long shot posting here but at this point all try anything lol
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣
