Hi guys,

 

 

So ı need to change my rear brake drums,  ı bought new one and dismounted the wheel. After ı saw the old drum ı pullar on it but unsucessfully. It doesn't nove at all. I checked uf there was a screw place to pull it out,  nope. Do you guys have any technique to pull it oy or is there something elde ı need to do to change the drum.

 

I checked couple of video on how to do it (ex:ChrisFix) but couldnt figure out what ı was missing.  Do ı need to do"hammer time" on the old drum to remove it?

watch this

 

 

Great!!! Thank You Mr TURGUT !!!

 

May Allah make gold of what you touch.

Just unscrew the nut. Take all the washers out and the drum will come off. Clean it, lube it very well. 

And you are golden.

I already tried by removing the nots, but as I see on the video you need to take the cap off in order to remove the drum. Also I will check if The new Drum I got have bearing in it or not. 

 

The other videos I looked at (ChrisFix Channel, Link : 

The drum wasn't hold by anything other than the bolt. But it does not seem to be the case for the Favorit. Will check and get back to you guys on a DIY how to do it. 

Yes that is the case on cris fixes vehicle because it is a driven axle. 

On the favorit you need to remove the dust cap first then the nut, all the thrust washers and tap it and it should come off

You are all missing the most important thing at 2:20 in Skoda video.

chrisfix has nothing to do with mechanics for European cars. He is more like a marketing guy. A nicely wrapped package without substance.

Couldn't agree more bout Chris fix. 

He's not good for European and he's kinda cliche 

One other mention. The video about Skoda rear wheel bearings is part of a series I posted almost 4 years ago in Classic Skoda Guides. section

 

So after checking the new drums I got, I saw that they don't have bearing in t. So I will have to put a new bearing in place. Since I don't have a toold how do I get the cap off ? He uses some kind of special Plyer to pull it out, but how do you do it with common tools ?

The advantage on this channel is that it is really well made. Quality speaking the video is very good. It might be true that some information might be missing or that he is not a"mecanic". I am sure that his experience and knowledge are limited.

Come on, it's not so difficult. Use a screwdriver and a pair of channellock pliers. See video below.

 

To be honest I didn't checked the all of the post on Classic Skoda Guide. But I see that I missed loads of things. Apologies if I made a new post for nothing. BUT, I am planning to change the Drum at home, since it look pretty easy. I also found out that the inner bearing also need to be changed. since it is the end of the month I will not able to get bearing set right now. Also I will change the brake pads since I'am at it.

 

While oing this I will take photos and details the process. So in the future maybe this post will be seen by people in need (Not like me :S whom doesn't check in detail).

 

Thanks again !
