Freelander 1 2006 TD4 rear brakes

Hi all

Anyone know of a good place near Wolverhampton where I can get rear brakes and drums etc replaced?

Cheers

Very easy to do yourself, especially if the cylinders do not need replacing.

Ask for Mick or Tony, they will sort you out i'm sure I am not attached to this garage but will recommend them

Just had a look at taking the offside drum off. It appears that the shoes my be catching the drum stopping me taking it off. Is there a manual adjuster to pull the shoes back in? If so where is it and how do I do it?

Much appreciated as always...

look on the back plate and there is a rubber Gromit pull it out and with a torch you will see the adjuster -a wheel with saw teeth on you can adjust it backwards also I bet on one of the clips has either come off or the piece that goes through the back plate and brake shoes has snapped

Do I need any special tools to lose the adjuster?

No you will only need a flat blade screw driver, once you have the drum off clean with wire brush all the back plate and shoes, also inside the drum, wear a mask.

No. You just flick the adjuster round with the end of the flat blade screwdriver.

Thanks again for the help chaps. Have changed the shoes, springs and drums today. Now I have a handbrake which is no longer an ornament...

Will it hold on Tettenhall rock to Bridgnorth hill though or even the Bridgnorth Hermitage it should do give the drums a clean out at least twice a year is best.
