Now to pop the Cordoba stub axle and brake backing plate on. It's really cool the way these drum assemblies stay in one piece when you remove them. It makes it a pretty quick swap over.

And here it is bolted up, handbrake cable bake in and brake line re-connected. You can see 3 of the 4 mounting bolts clearly here. I had a look in my Haynes book of lies for a torque setting but couldn't see one in there. So I put some loctite on them and just did them up effing tight.




Now's a good time to re-pack those wheel bearings. I gave them a good blast out with degreaser and packed them with Wheel Bearing grease - don't use any other kind of grease or you'll have problems later on.

Apparently Wheel Bearing grease now comes in BLUE!



I'm not Joking!




Now just pop the regreased drum back on, do up the nut, replace the locking thingy , install cotter pin and grease cap.

If you haven't done so already you might need to release the self adjuster to allow the shoes to come back in before you can get the drum back over the shoes. In the shot of the brake innards above. There's a spring that runs vertically, the adjuster is the piece of metal on the top end of the spring. To release it just push it upwards with some pliers or something.
