To replace the rear drums and shoes, first lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheel (use axle stands and do not work under a vehicle supported only by a jack); then remove the cap at the centre of the drum, unscrew the underlying nut, release the handbrake, and extract the drum, possibly using a hammer or the appropriate puller; disengage the shoe support pins by pressing and twisting with pliers, unclip the springs, and remove the shoes; seal the brake fluid reservoir cap to prevent oil spillage during the removal of the shoe actuator cylinder; thoroughly clean the hub support and proceed in reverse with the installation of the new kit, which includes the cylinder and shoes: reset the handbrake cable adjustment before fitting the new shoes and ensure the springs are secured properly.
