This is a video response to a question posed by Readymade777 who wanted to know when the discard time was for drums. Yet another in the quick tip series. Keep the questions coming and I will do my best to answer them.

This one goes out to BigLoveZone who posed this question to me while I was editing the video. I hope this is helpful to those that watch. I tried to collect as much accurate information as I could for you but if you have any other questions you can post them to this video or visit the EricTheCarGuy fourm under “Car Questions” and I will take it from there.

After making this video I discovered a way to use the hook and lug wrench to jack the car up much faster. I will make an amendment video in the future.

Here is a brief overview of the basic set up and operation of drum brakes. I’ve had a couple of requests for this one and I’m happy to address those questions here. I will be making a longer version of this video that will eventually be for sale on the ETCG website. This video will not only cover the operation but it will also cover brake shoe replacement. As always you can visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com which is now slightly smaller for those of you with smaller viewing screens.
