At the hand brake end one of the bolts spins freely when in doing it up - did i broke it or have i just pushed it back out of a slot or something ? Havr got round to taking it to bits yet but anything to save doing that would be appreciated !

the head of the bolt sits on a flange on the back of the drum and shouldn't turn but if ya push it backwards as you're undoing it it'll miss the flange and turn.
