Guide to changing handbrake shoes

Once you HAVE the disc off, (and that can be the sticking point ), it's just like any brake SHOES.
Start by pushing the pins through while turning through 90 degrees. Once they are off, just dismantle the shoes. I suggest a pic first so you get it all back as was.
You DO have to use the same adjuster mechanism, so again, see how it fits on the leading shoe.

Done this at the weekend. Had no problems really. Just a bit fidly getting the retaining springs on. Handbrake just starts to bite on 3 clicks and then holds firm on 4.
Only thing I am missing in the inspection covers for adjusting the cog on each wheel. Should I be worried about crap getting in through there?
