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.
