A lot of our customers have been asking how to rebuild drum brakes. This is a good thing to know how to do, since Ford has used drum brakes from 1964 all the way through 1993. Today, we're going to show you the basics for rebuilding drum brakes on our 1965 Mustang coupe, and you can follow this video to do the same on your 1964, 1965 or 1966 V8 Mustang.

I'll never forget when I was a little kid,  the hardship my dad had replacing the drum brakes and rebuilding the brake cylinders on his 66 Ford truck for the very first time in his life. I have much more respect for him for what he went through because he didn't have a youtube vid to watch and he just had to figure it out for himself. Although he wasn't an auto mechanic he "did it" and I am very proud of him for it! Way to go Pop!  Thanks CJ Pony Parts for providing a vid on this and not making me struggle through this the way my dad had to back in the day! :)

Very helpful video for Foxbodies as well, pretty much the same.

Excellent video. Takes the "fear" out of drum brake replacement. Many thanks. Oh! Might not hurt to give an idea of what CJ brake kits would cost. Just a suggestion.

I can't believe all of the rust and shit under such a beautiful car, my 1965 XP Falcon doesn't have a skerik of rust under the body, I spray her with Fisholine every 3 or 4 months without fail . It's easier than getting it cut out, been there done that before . Great video

[edwinencinias]

Thanks CJ Pony Parts! I love all of your videos and parts. They help me out so much on my mustang.

[nwboarder]

Great video as always. I wish your customer service didn’t suck so bad I’d go back to ordering things from CJ

[cookspaintbody]

Very helpful video! Only thing I have left to do on my 66 mustang brakes is the rubber lines.

[iamipodfan]

I love the videos! They help a ton!! You guys should do a door weatherstrip replacement. I don't know how to do it, and that whistle on the freeway is driving me crazy!! Thanks!!

[jevchance]

These videos are awesome thank you. This is going to make reassembly easy, since I can't find my pictures!

[eriklehman]

why no self adjuster on the fronts? is this optional?

[arcorob]

what an awesome video !!!! Thanks Bill...I just bought a 1966 Coup to restore (its already 90% done so good first project ) and this is going to help alot

[kohlchambers]

Video really helps was only replacing the wheel cylinder but a good step by step take off and put back on video

[rodneymashburn]

Please do a video on 1966 mustang emergency brake complete system replace. Thanks

[Packer]

I see you put your old drum back on. It looks like no one sells the hub or a hub/drum assembly. Plenty of people sell the drum itself. Is there a way to remove that old hub and repress it into a new drum? My Drum is cracked.

[grantdunn]

So the front doesn't have a adjusting cable?

The yellow return spring must be installed at the secondary shoe (aft). The blue spring has less tension for earlier engagement of primary shoe. (self energizing servo brakes)
