Rear wheel cylinder blew out on the way to work today
So is this a relatively easy job? Or should I have a garage do it. Brakes are the one thing I worry about. If I screw up something and the car wont run, no one gets hurt. If I screw up the brakes and someone gets hurt I could not forgive myself.
No its not an easy job.
I hate working on drum brakes,
the springs are a pain to remember where they go back,
especially; being several different types/sizes.
so always do one side at a time, that way you can look at the still together side for reference.
Do you have a tubing cutter, how about a flaring tool?
More than 50% of the time, it seems, the lines will break, {even when you use your
special tubing wrenches to loosen the brake line} going into the rear
of the wheel cylinders. :(
If you have never done this type job before get help from an old fart,
that has worked on drum brakes.
Here is a quick video thaat leaves out as much as it shows, LOL,
boy I never got the darn parts to come off so easy.
