Let’s see how to change the brake shoes in the drum on a Ford Ka. First, lift the car on a column jack to the desired height, then remove the wheel (using a telescopic spanner or air drill) along with the respective pins. Undo the locking pins of the drum cover with a socket spanner, and remove it from the wheel hub support.

Once you have undone the central pin, extract the worn brake shoes and fit the new ones. Prepare to install the new brake kit by reversing the disassembly steps.
