Excellent video on brake repacking
OK I stumbled on this video and this guy has the most comprehensive trailer drum brake repacking video that I have ever seen. I learned a lot from watching this and only wish that I had seen it before...

Wearing only one glove.... what's the point! LOL
I've never seen those brake show gauges. With his brakes being "self adjusting", that tool wasn't necessary. When I installed self adjusting brakes on my cargo trailer last year, I used the adjuster wheel to dial them in a little bit then left the self adjusting function to do its job to get all 4 brakes set appropriately.

I use a much larger piece of cardboard to contain my mess and keep it off the concrete driveway I do these projects on.
A better video on bearing repacking.
