Replacing Drum Brakes on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Brake drums and shoes

Loosen the wheel bolts of the affected wheel, lift the car with a jack, and completely remove the bolts to take off the wheel. Remove the pressure-fit cover by inserting a flat screwdriver into the gap and prying it off, as shown in the video. Unscrew the 22 mm central hub nut (to be tightened to 240 Nm later). Give the drum a few taps with a hammer and pry it off in the gap to free it from its seat. This operation requires a lot of patience. Once opened, release the clips and the tension adjuster, and remove the brake shoes.
