kirk10 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 do 1 side at a time then if you get stuck on how they go back together you have the other side to look at you can adjust the rachet your self a few clicks untill you can just slide the drum on and off
caprinerd Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 one tip cake man when you take them apart clean and copper grease all moving parts not heavy but smear it on oh and once done and the drum is back on pull the handbrake cable a couple of times to adjust the brake shoes mate just remember which spring goes where and which way round it goes, and rough the face of the shoe a little
