1. Remove the brake drum (1a). If necessary, to facilitate the removal of the brake drum due to rust on the contact surfaces, use three 10 x 1.25 bolts (1b) that should be inserted in the special openings (1c).- If the operation proves difficult, loosen the handbrake cable, insert a screwdriver in one of the openings for fastening the wheel and position this opening in line with the handbrake lever. At this stage push towards the vehicle to compress the shoes to release the drum. Then restore the correct handbrake adjustment.
1. The maximum permitted internal diameter for the brake drum after wear is given below; if the figure is higher than this the brake drum should be replaced.- In the case of deterioration or deep grooves, the surfaces of the brake drum should be skimmed with a turning machine: when the operation is completed the internal diameter of the brake drum should not be higher than the figure given.
