Tips for maintaining and servicing your rear brake shoes
1. Always check, clean and adjust rear brake shoes when changing front brake pads.
2. Adjust the handbrake adjustment all the way down before removing the
brake drum.
3. After cleaning, adjust the brake shoes first and then take up the slack on
the handbrake cable. This will ensure that the handbrake levers are in
the retracted position and that the shoes will wear evenly.
4. Do not use side cutters to remove the brake springs as it will
damage the springs and cause breakage.
5. Service the adjusters and use a copper based lubricant to
lubricate the threads or mechanisms of the adjusters.
