For Further Information If your brake pliers do not have all four features, then you cannot rely on them to complete a drum brake job. You might need an additional hand tool. When you step on the brake pedal, a hydraulic wheel cylinder in the drum brake assembly pushes the shoes outward against the drum. The lining on each shoe rubs against the side of the drum creating friction that stops the wheel from rotating. When you let go of the brake, the return springs pull the brake shoes off the drum and the wheel can rotate freely again. Bite the brake shoe lining with the other jaw. This jaw will act as leverage. You can use a piece of wood underneath to avoid damaging the lining. Some people call them multi-tool brake pliers because of their multiple functionalities. Others call them dual-end pliers because both ends of each plier have a tool for working on a specific type of spring in the drum brake.

Attach the brake adjuster cable to the spring pin. Make it go around the cable guide you have just installed in the previous step.There are two top springs that hold brake shoes together. Their work is to return the brake shoes in position when you let go of the brake pedal. Besides being heavy-duty, the most outstanding feature of the OTC 7069A brake pliers is their replaceable tip. So, when you break it, you don’t need to buy new pliers. You just replace the tip and continue using the pliers like they were new. This feature makes these pliers so versatile Product must be currently advertised in print or electronic media (Including newspaper, catalogue, radio, television advertising or online)

The first thing to look at when buying any pliers is how they are built. Pliers should be strong and sturdy to withstand pressure and abuse. The same applies to brake spring pliers. Good brake pliers should be solid enough to work on the heavy-duty brake springs without bending. At the very least, the pliers should be forged from steel. 2. Multi-tool Now hook the other end of the secondary return spring onto the spring stud. Use the notched handle end of the brake plier to lever the spring hook and slide it onto the stud. A good pair of drum brake pliers and a hammer are all you need to do a drum brake job. You do not need other pliers. Ideally, the brake pliers should have all the tools you need to remove or install the different types of springs that hold the drum brake hardware in place. That is why they are called multi tool pliers. Once the brake shoe is off, you simply remove the bottom spring by hand. The bad thing about this approach is that you have to disassemble almost all drum brake hardware. Attach one end of the secondary return spring to the trailing brake shoe. Make sure you put the brake adjuster cable guide underneath.Brake spring pliers are special types of automotive pliers for removing and installing brake shoe springs and springs that hold drum brake hardware in place.
