Since I started driving my '09 escape in 2017 I've been coming to your videos for reference with repairsand maintenance, thanks to you I've been able to keep her in tip-top shape so far. Your videos seriously are the best and most informative, easy to follow with clear precise instructions.

Awesome great works man, many thanks!

Finally an all-encompassing guide to the rear drums on my escape. I've been fighting with excessive travel and spongy brakes for a real long time, and while I didn't put the brakes together 'wrong' they definitely weren't right. The order of the steps and the small details really matter and after step by stepping through your guide they were definitely installed right. Finally my brakes work proper.
Immense thanks bro, seriously.

This is, by far, one of the finest videos ever posted to You Tube. I have the 08 Escape. I have rotors and pads up front but drums and shoes on the back. I'm replacing everything and will take my lap top down into the garage with me and watch this video every step of the way. On behalf of the mechanically-challenged population, Thank you for taking the time to post this awesome vid! PS: Nice Ram 1500 in the driveway too!

You are a great teacher my friend. I have been an amateur mechanic for over 45 years and you showed me a lot of tips. God Bless You

I finally did this today, on our 10 year old Escape that we’ve owned since new. The shoes actually weren’t as bad as I expected. But I’ve got to say, don’t cheap out on shoes and drums, I bought a kit off a well known website. I should have just called my friend who is a parts manager, the spring kit that came with the “kit” sucked, the brake adjusters sucked, I spent more time making everything work, than if I would have just bought good parts. This video really helps, thanks again!

I worked in a motor pool when I was in the service. But most of the vehicles had shoes world war 2 vehicles. Am much older now and little skeptical about doing them myself. But I feel confident I can now that I have watched your video. Thank you so much.

FordTechMakuloco your videos have been a godsend for my 2005 Ford F-150 and now my 2011 Ford Escape. Thank you!!!

[michaelcornish]

Your videos are GREAT. Step by step detail like a flight manual. You've helped me out many times. Thank you.

[Dennis_Heaton]

Ha, I came here just to figure out how to get the top spring off and you made the rest look easy too. Thanks, I'll also need to buy drums before I try starting this job again. It's for the wife, so I make sure everything done on her car is solid.

One of the best drum brake videos I've seen. Most people miss the lubing of the backing plate. I would suggest to check the wheel cylinder a bit better.

[MichaelSantangelo]

Dude. Thank you so much. I've been wanting to do my rear brakes for the longest time, but I wanted to see it from start to finish.

[jeffreywardell]

Thanks for taking the time to make a quality video. Took away the mystery of the drum brake job!

[bocfat]

Agreed your a good educator, detailed, concise, easy to follow I have done these before and still learned a more professional perspective, and you turned me on to a more affordable price on some of the parts saving $30 per drum alone, while advocating for quality.

I just changed the master cylinder the front brakes and the back drum breaks. I love being able to do stuff myself. I just hate all the hardship that comes with it. Great video!

[jaybilawchuk]

Your videos are so helpful bud!! Have to do my 09 escape limited in spring. This video is as clear as it can be. Thank you for taking the time to make us these videos that help us so much! I know, broken record, but really, thanks a lot!!!

[timothyraymer]

Thanks for a great video!  It had the right balance of explanation to understand the process; suggestions, tips, tricks and techniques to make it easier; good visuals to understand what to do, and good understandable audio.  The video helped me accomplish working on my brake drums with confidence. Good content.  Thanks.

I Love you guys, with your help I'm fixing my cars just like that with a tones of fun and save a lot of money.Mega

I will go out right now and adjust my Focus mk2 brakes. Very good tutorial video. Thanks.

[JustinLaNoue]

Wife's Escape is pulling to the right under medium/hard load, prety sure it's the rear brakes as the fonr have pretty even wear and I checked the caliper pins and movement and although the rear may just need adjustment I'm changing all four corners as I'm pretty sure they're all original. Thanks for the video Brian!
