Chris.

i would not say so drums are drums at the end of the day cant see them being that hard to do just go steady with it you should not have a problem

ok, cheers mate.

Just done mine. Bit of a pain to get drums off, shoes have bedded into drum. This leaves a groove which catches on the shoes as you try to get the drum off. I ground the groove off before putting drum back on. This helped during re assembly. Also, shoes are a bit tricky to adjust for the gap between shoe and drum. Patience is the answer. Hope this helps.

How do you adjust them mate? is it a screw adjustment?
Chris.

Its got an auto adjust system, if you find that ya cannot get your drum orft [making sure your h/bake is off] then there is a blanking grommet at the back of the brakes and after taking out the grommet ya get a screw driver and turn a knurled ratchet thingy, trouble is its hit and miss as to what way , however the object is to undo the auto adjust so enabling ya to get the drum orft , once past that bit it's just didley doo . . .

It was the knurled rachet thingy that I had the most fun with. Almost impossible to adjust. Then again, I am a tit!!

Tip earthling . . . when ya put your drum back, set your auto adjust thingy to min [will pay you to spray it with wd40 and free it up ] making sure ya do not spay your new drums, fit it all back together , then just pump your brake pedal bout ten times this should auto adjust it , then check your h/brake is not binding, if it is adjust h/brake,and dont forget to put that grommet back ... ... ...
