REMOVAL
• Use pullers Rou. 889 to remove the hub grease
cup.
• Loosen the wheel nuts only and place the rear of
the vehicle on stands.
• Remove the wheel nuts and wheel concerned.
• Release the handbrake and slacken the secondary
cables to allow the lever to return.
• Remove backplate plug (2) and visually check for
sufficient
clearance between
brake linings and
enable the drum to be removed.

because of the
position of the self-adjusting
system, pull the
brake lever stop (1) with a pair of pliers to allow
the shoes to back off further.
