In this video I show you the process I go through changing out the rear brake shoes on the rear of a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. Of course lots of brake cleaner will be used ๐ -Enjoy!

How would you replace a bearing like that
Maybe I'm naive but can't believe Chrysler was still using drum brakes in 2008. Have to believe it's not cheaper to just use discs for everything.
Lol you didn't show how you got the drum off
What is the name of that tool used to clean out rust inbetween wheel bolts?
I must be getting old, but, I'd have sworn the adjuster was on the opposite end of the shoes from the slave cylinder on drums. I don't think I've done a drum brake in 40 years however..
One minute I'm watching a repair video and the next it's "The Godfather" with brakleen.
Thumbs up for ol lady ๐๐ฝ
First of all, anybody who has that round thing in the middle of the assembly, don't be a dingdong like me and make sure NOT to spray brake clean there. Just trust me on this one.
Second, I don't know how it is with the employees there at Napa Bath, but here in the city slicker land, they hire young kids. Sometimes first jobs. and they don't give a hooey about your rotors. Come back mostly gone and whittled away or warped or whatnot.. maybe you guys have better ethics near the amishland
Ps, the big pain in the ass thing also is to set the parking brake so it is about 3-4 clicks needed to hold. Big pain because sometimes that required taking part of the console apart so a lot of techs don't do it.
And something about partially assembling some of the springs and then slipping it over the hub. If the application permits. Otherwise you do that spring dance we all know.
Good job Weston like you alot
When you sprayed her down the second time and had that glorious music and the slow mo… just majestic… absolutely killed me lmao
I am not a mechanic although I have been repairing cars for almost 50 years. I have special tools for disc brake and drum brake repair. My wife catches me using long nose Vise Grips on drum brakes. I will try to explain to her now I am not the only one that does not use the "correct" tools all the time.Thanks for the help!
Late to the party on this one. Quick question if anyone knows. I was doing the drum brakes on a Ford Escape and the parking brake spring was not that easy to move back and forth? Is that normal to be so easy to do?
Slo-mo was hilarious.
Brakleen is my choice for cologne on date night. The Mrs is a big fan.
โSpread her openโ
Thatโs whatโs she said
that's one way to pay a speeding fine LOL
Hey Eric, My first car was a 63 Corvair I paid $15.00 for it. Had 4 diff tires, battery dead and shot oil out of the dipstick. Needed breaks. I went to the local junk yard (auto salvage for break shoes. Learned to bleed the breaks by myself using a concrete block leaning on the brake pedal. Ran alchohol to clean out oil passages.
why not replace the drums ? more cost effective for the customer. labor to turn is on par what drums cost
Rep that Napa !!!
I donโt mind doing drum brakes luckily I work for Toyota and we rarely see them all my cars except the two newest out of 6 have drum brakes one has drums all the way around but honestly I have owned each of those cars for years and havenโt had to do the drum brakes on them at all
I really like your videos. Absolutely pisses me off that they get interrupted by political ads……
No mask or eye pro ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ. That cleaner hits a splash back pocket and you are into an eyeful ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ. I know.
Thanks Eric. I've done a few back brakes in my day and yet, i still learned a couple of tricks. Cheers
Thatโs the thing with drums you need at least 3 cans of Break clean. Iโve used almost an entire can for the initial clean
Did the rear drums on my 3/4 ton GMC Van, that fucking SUCKED

Mrs. hell-O-nurse!
Please post another video. It has been eight days since this one, and I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms. A brake job. Anything with a wrench in it.
Here in Alabama married men don't wear wedding rings.
Love it. Never enough brake jobs, but would love to see another transmission swap, a rear main seal on a Honda, or a Subaru head job.
Bought a shirt and cup (love it) but would like a shirt with the pocket and little better material. Little to thin, just my opinion. Can we make that happen?
Really…mood music for a Chrysler !!!! ๐
I would like to see brake jobs on the new electric parking brake and how to reset the parking brake.
"Clickty-Clack, don't talk back" Your sense of humor mirrors mine exactly when i'm working on cars. Exactly something i would have (and probably have) said! Makes the videos even more enjoyable – on top of being the best teacher I've ever had. Keep out the great work (and jokes!)
Good video Eric O.
woaahhhh I never seen a Sebring with drums. All I have seen and owned was discs all around! Very very interesting!
Mr O, please wear some safety glasses especially when working with the springs. You never know when one will surprise you and we all love you too much to see you get hurt!
Hey Eric, what's the best way to extract a snapped off bolt? There's no rust, so I'm hoping I can get it out. I was installing a skid plate on my truck and got a little overzealous tightening a bolt into the frame. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ The good news is that I put anti-seize on it ๐คฃ.
What is that the game warden's ca? Always keep them happy!
Gotta love that soapy wooder ๐
Hi Eric wanted to ask you for a while love your diagnostic stuff but I do notice that you do spend a lot of time diagnosing faults, how do you charge for that, where I work most of the diagnostic stuff is done at one charge ยฃ48 I(n the uk) for 1/2 hour which usually will end up as just a fault code read and possibly some other small checks as time allows, for more complicated stuff we tend to phone the customer and ask for more time, do you do that, or do you have a higher charge for diagnostic stuff which allows you more time to start off with or do you lose money to properly diagnose.
Does this mean you lose custom as a result of the higher cost?.
I wanna know what trouble shooting light he's using in his videos. Seems like the cat's meow. I'd like to own one.
Good morning Eric. I watched your broken brake bleeder screw videoโ what easy out kit do you have / recommend? Love your videos, thanks a million.
Are you still doing the Eden gardening? Really enjoyed watching those vids. That new JD is nice, and I'm jealous but Old Red is one of my favorites. Maybe its because I worked for IH for 42 years.
Nice, fun too๐
I always wait for him to say โlight green crustyโ
What not 2 do, they will be disappointed……….
