Did this on mine a while ago. Now my handbrake doesn't work at all! The slits on my backing plates were so badly corroded that I suspect the spring pins have pulled through. Going to get it all apart again today now I have new backing plates. Just out of interest, when you put it back together, could you move the wheels by hand with the shoes adjusted and the handbrake off? That's the only part I'm unsure about.
Mark how about fitting them?? anyway the bottom spring on the shoes is a bit hard to get on.. i used decent string to pull it on the shoes.. also road test to bed them in then re adjust to get a good effort...

You Sir, are a better man than me. I would have taken 100 pictures with my phone from every angle. Every spring, pad, adjuster, everything! :)
excellente démonstration, merci à vous pour cette vidéo !
Great vision and great commentary. Thanks for this!
Much appreciated!
Make the job much easier. Just open the big nut on the hub and take off the hub.Then it's simple to do the brake shoes.
Thanks for tip ATB
Very good video, you explain absolutely everything thanks mate!
No problem 👍 Alexandru

Manual
Hello there, I need to replace the brake cover screws, do you know where I could get some replacements? Many thanks
main dealer or scrap yard or eBay
Thx :)
You're welcome!
Not recommended to do that without a axle stand, or at least put the wheel under the axle
👍
Saved a few quid by doing it yourself. Don't see the home front bringing bacon butties and coffee out
Hi Chris good point thanks for watching
I know it's your rotor but please don't hammer it like that, next time hammer in the middle...
