As always great video and clear voice to give anyone with a bit of know how to follow your guide. One of the best video tutorials on smart fortwo owners.
I've done my front brake disc's, and pads bought some new drums for the rear of the vehicle, I have found this personally really funny to watch, You have done really well on not repeating yourself. even if this servs as reassurance that you can save yourself some money doing this, com on girls and boyz you can do it?!
Perfect ...... I've only done the front pads. ..... Excellent step-by-step over view of rear drum brakes ..... I just need conjure up enough confidence now to give it a go....!!!
Great video with the exception that the needed Torx bit to remove the drum is T30 - not T27 as was stated and restated. The result for me was that I stripped the head of the machine screw and it caused a lot of extra work to remove it.
Make your life easier by getting a brake shoe pliers tool. You can improvise a shoe hold down spring tool using a socket with some masking tape on the face of it and a socket extension to push down and twist. These kind of breakes typically need a initial set up using the access hole on the back plate to spread the shoes out until they grip the drum and then back in the wheel the required teeth as stated in the service manual. New brake shoes need bedding as well which means going 30mph down to 5 mph several times with moderate braking. Rechecking the brake shoe clearance after bedding is advisable. Cheers!
Thank you for this vid. Adjuster is a bit more intricate than American models so that's to be mindful of. Not sure about removing the hub but I believe I will try this simply to clean and repack those bearings. One particular piece that I don't know exists is that if there is a adjustor port covered with a grommet plug to adjust the clicks. I do know they self adjust so maybe this is a foregone conclusion. Do love your in depth photography. 2014 smart fortwo here. First brake job front and back at aprox. 50k miles. Cheers.
