I bought brake spring tools to change out the shoes on dad's car once.

Tossed them aside and used pliers.

Had no trouble using the pliers. And it's the only time I've done drum brakes.

Wow,
There was a time when drum brakes were on the front of all cars and trucks.

But did you know that not all class-8 semi tractors have front brakes?
