For educational purposes it would've been great to see you actually take it apart and put the new parts in. It kind of defeats the purpose of showing DIYers how to do something. It's almost like going on google and reading instructions without seeing how its done. Just my opinion, still the video was alright

Sarcasm : looking forward to changing the drum brakes on my 2015 vehicle... thanks chevy. Glad the guys at GM are such visionaries...

This video just convinced me that I don’t want to work on drum brakes

One thing I never see done, if you're going to use the method of hitting the drum with a hammer, don't risk dinging up the stud threads. Put the lug nuts back on to protect them.

All the cars I had with drums had 2 threaded holes between the threaded studs for bolts so you can get tye front half of the drum off .

Hi i have a question. When i press the brake there is sound coming from rear drum brakes. My mechanic changed the pads but still same. Sanding the pads the sound vanishes for few days. My mechanic said drum needs replacement because the inner dia has increased. Question is why not loosen the pads outward so they touch the drum more firmly instead of drum replacement. Please advice

my wheel cylinder is WELDED to the casting of the back plate of the drum assembly

First drum brakes I ever changed was on the FRONT of a 1967 Ford truck, short bed . 2 Inch, they went to 3 inch in68

Wheel Cylinder, is this easily changeable by itself, or is it connected to a bigger piece that has to be changed out?
