Thanks everyone for your assistance, a combination of WD40, hammer, breaker bar and better (6 sided) socket finally got them off! The shoes have been replaced and the mechanism cleaned up, the near side didn't work at all I don't think. It's nice to have a handbrake that somewhat works now

Thanks very much for the replies and advice. I'm hoping to have another go tomorrow morning

Thanks for the reply, I've just got a better 6 sided socket to try first. I've got a torque wrench as I managed to do the offside ones without too much trouble

Went to fit new HBrake shoes and clean up the mechanism/adjuster yesterday (first job ever attempted on a car!), I managed to get the off side done without too much trouble, however the near side brake caliper bolts are well seized and are now slightly rounding. Any help on how to try remove...

I've only had mine a couple of months but I get mid ish 30s from general driving. Did manage to get mid 40s on a country (50mph) run though

Thanks all! I''l try avoid the non FL threads for now then, I don't want to get too insecure about my acquisition just yet ;)

Hi all, Recently purchased my first Land Rover (11 Plate FL2) a couple of months ago. I thought it wise to join the forum and introduce myself as I'm hoping to do as much work on him as I can with my limited knowledge! So far very much enjoying the experience! Take care
