This car is generally pretty good but has a problem with both back handbrake drums/shoes. On this model the main brake is a disc with a small drum for the handbrake.
The nearside brake is noisy as if the shoes are worn out and gives little braking effect. The right hand side is not noisy but also has little braking effect. Both cables are free and operating the actuator at the rear of the drums.
Does the central hub nut have to be undone to get the disc/drum off? Like on the 106.
Or is it held on to the rotating hub by phillips or torx screws?
What size socket is required for the hub nuts if they have to come off?
Which direction do each undo ?
How easy is it to get the discs off without a puller? Any tips?
Thanks
Tony
