Hi all
Near impossible!! 2 days of head banging!! I was ready to through in the towel..
I have changed loads of drum brakes and have spring pullers and other gadgets from the white van with red writing, but this had me beat 2 frig'in days garrrrrrr.
I was told it would be near impossible without removing the Hub for access, it seems that this is the case unless you have the fingers of a stick insect with the grip of a free climber, rather than my sausage fingers!
Today a a friend from the "Darkside" (octagonal badge man) popped over to laugh at a man with "Wings" that takes two days to not change the brake shoes........
We came up with a cunning plan.
Remove the rear brake cylinder to gain access to the Automatic adjustment mechanism and top springs that are below the BC and behind the hub.
One and a half hours later we have removed the BC's fitted the shoes and re-fitted the BC's.. I'm now going to get some braided hoses, front and rear, to finish the job before bleeding the brakes.
Hope this is a help
