Brake Shoes On Rear Drums R33gtst

[geraus]

Hey guys im geting a pair of project mu rear shoes to change, has anyone done it before? if so is it hard? please let me know as ive never done them before, ive changed disc's and change pads.. but not rear-shoes chheers.

I;ve only changed the drums once, and that was froma reakly old and fcuked hub. They are the same as most other drum shoe replacement jobs....fiddly but not hard.

If you haven't done them before just keep careful track of the direction of pins and clips and the order you take them off. Remember to adjust them after the disc is back on so that they don't quite touch with the handbrake off. Its a good opportunity to back off the adjuster in the cabin and take the slack with the adjuster on the cables under the car.

BTW why buy aftermarket drum shoes? standard ones are perfectly capable of holding (or if necessary locking) the rears when adjusted properly.

I adjusted the rear's so many times, at winton drifting, only 1 wheel would lock up! i eeven adjusted the shoes, its not locing up... so yhe. i brought project mu ones.

You'll be fine. Just take your time and do one side at a time, so if you get lost you can refer to how it should be on the other side. And take note of the shoe arrangement with the leading shoe towards the front of the car and the trailing towards the rear. This will become clear on inspection. Just make sure you have a good set of side/diagonal cutters and needle and flat nose pliers. Also scuff the inside of the drum up with some emery/sandpaper. Good luck.
