1. Good advice for wrk safety. 😀

2. 5th time watching this video in the last year and my 1997 Suburban K1500 rear drum brakes started squeaking to indicate they need to be changed and I'm almost certain I'm just going to pay someone to do it but I'm so glad I watched it again because I'm now going to order rivited pads.

3. What are the names of the special tools you used in this video

4. Thank you so much! There is a special place in heaven for people like you.

5. They make a tool to remove the spring. I've used pliers for over 30 years.

6. Does the big shoe go in the back or the front

7. Is the 4×4 / 6 lug brake shoe 11” … I have a 2000 GMC Yukon Denali

8. Wondering if you know of a good video for the 10” shoes/drum

9. I think those are 11” shoes/drum… I have a 98 with 10” shoes/drum and the arrangements/springs are different… (98 had 11” also, but mine has 10”—maybe because it’s a 2 door Tahoe).

10. Can I swap these rear break set onto a 5 lug Tahoe to convert to 6 lug ?

11. Good Job on explaining each detail steps. Gonna look for my brake tools. Also, if you have crossed drilled and slant rotors. How long do they last and do you replace it again? Cause I hear they cannot be turned. They were installed new and now the pads need to be replaced .The last change was a full Rotor, Caliper and pad replacement. So this would be my first maintenance pad change. Plz. Let me know your thoughts about the front rotors. I will be inspecting them but dont have proper tools to measure the thickness.

12. how to do this when the doors are Stuck close?! ( because of broken inside/outside handles )

13. If you call those shoes are worn out I would hate to hear would you would think about the ones I took off of my 1988 Scottsdale a while back

14. I always put new gloves on when putting on new shoes and pads

15. You're the man my brother

16. Your spring tool will get someone hurt

17. Why do shoes only make contact in six spots of the backing plate?

18. No problem Jesus loves you and I in Crist

19. Car jacks. ???? No need for jackstands . lmao

20. I was very reluctant to tackle my rear brake shoe replacement on my 1999 Chevy Tahoe so i watched Eric's vidio on the topic 2X. Although the job took me about 5 hours from jack up to clean up and testing i have to say that I feel quite proud and satisfied with a job well done. I don't know exactly how much this would have cost me at the shop but I know that my brakes are "good' and i like the way that Eric showed how to clean up the entire brake housing area so that everything is in like new working condition again on something so important to my safety.

21. How about backing off adjuster before removing drum before a puller? Shoes could be inside worn ridge of drum, preventing removal.

22. x

23. Make sure you tell them the front shoe is the small one….

24. You are the best dude….

25. ?

26. eric the primary and secondary shoes are in the same position in the passenger side

27. thanks u for this video I never commented on a utube video before but this was a huge help so thank you

28. Eric I need help….I have a Tahoe just like this its a 99 and the front driver brake makes a screeching notice and when I come to a stop they lock up……what could this be??

29. try using dry graphite spray on the adjuster screw.

30. nice video I implore you to join us

    check out gmc4x4.com

31. yup! still using them on plenty of 2012 models too! Don't change something that works!!

32. eric hates his fans and is just here to absorb a check, he'll never answer you

33. ´murica…..

34. Disc-style brakes development and use began in England in the 1890s. The first caliper-type automobile disc brake was patented by Frederick William Lanchester in his Birmingham factory in 1902. The drum brake was invented in 1902 by Louis Renault. GM is still is still the king of cheap manufacturing but shocking sticker prices. Go figure.

35. really? a car from 99 with drums? seriosly usa, volvos had real disks and calliper in 1980

36. just replace the intake manifold on my 99 chevy tahoe, prior to putting the distributor back on… the rotor cap and rotor button was cleaned of carbon….it starts fine, but it putters when i drive…and smoothes out when i accelerate….any ideas how to fix the problem…thanx in advance.

37. I think that putting an engine on the bare floor is somewhat risky, i bet you could just put a tire under it

38. so my girlfriend drove my truck home with the E brake on. then she left it like that. so i had to check out the drums….they were worped into a oblong shape. becouse the metal cooled weired with the E-brake allplied so i thought im gonna lathe them my self by doing a hundred miles an hour and slam the truck into her house.

39. Why do you have a primary she was the back to the secondarys in the front. 2the dirt hole punches out and you can use a dirt plug. I watched a few videos and as a back back yard tech its shady. Some stuff you do scares me to think you can help and hurt them at the same time

40. Thanks for telling people to use safety glasses 🙂

41. Great Video! anyone have any videos on replaceing brake shoes on full floating axles

42. One time I got oil in my eye. It hurt. I wear prescription glasses to. Next time I will wear safety glasses lol.

43. i know you made videos on your tool box, but can you make a video or start a section on tools and gear as far as good buys, stuff to stay away from, explanation on what is for what, example anti seize vs copper anti seize etc.

44. Hey, is there a reason you decided to do another brake drum video? Aside from explaining the issue of the faulty shoes, isn't everything else pretty much the same as in that PT Cruiser version?

    Not complaining, just wondering.
