In this video, I show how to replace rear brake pads, brake rotors, and parking brake shoes on a 2015 Ram 1500 truck. In doing so, I also show how to remove a stuck brake rotor, and the tricks to getting the parking brake springs back in place.

A few warnings you should know:
- The Brake Pad slider clips can easily be installed wrong on this truck, as shown in the video, and cause you to ruin your new brakes quickly. Don’t make this mistake!
- The parking brake shoes often brake when you remove rotors from these trucks. So buying them in advance would be a smart move.
- Replacing the parking brake shoes on this truck is not very easy at all. In fact, I would say it’s on the harder sides of general automotive tasks. Be sure you are ready to have a bad time before starting the process of removing those parking brake shoes. Also the springs are tight, be careful and wear proper protective gear in case a spring goes flying.
- The video is for your entertainment only. I’m just some idiot on the internet working on crappy cars and trucks. So if you are following any of my video for actual knowledge - do so at your own risk.
