PRIUS PROBLEMS Part 2: Rear Drum Brake Replacement, Adjust, & Bleed!

Описание: We are back with Part 2 of the Gen 2 Prius rear-end rebuild! In the last video, we knocked out the wheel hubs, and now it’s time to finish the job by completely overhauling the rear drum brake system.

In this video, I walk you through the entire process of installing new brake shoes and wheel cylinders, but I also cover the critical steps that often get skipped: properly adjusting the star adjuster and bleeding the brake system to ensure a firm pedal. This is the final step to getting your hybrid riding smooth and quiet again!
