Wear your platforms . Any long travel, the brakes are doing nothing. You're just using fluid to bring the shoes up to the drums, where they should be in the first place. One day, you'll run out of travel ...
Brakes and steering. Brakes and steering. All the rest is just fluffy add on bits. Can’t you find a genuine air cooled specialist near you to sort these properly, rather than an arthritic curmudgeon with the respiratory system of a pit pony?
I'm sure some less sweary kind hearted forum type will do the honours in no time, at that scrapheap challenge type thing you lot do in a field. Probably best to leave that chap to his combine harvester.
If you’re really unlucky, I’ll give it a go Saturday arvo- if that doesn’t get your arse in gear to fix it proper like, I don’t know what will!!
A medieval era challenge is proposed, whereby any Latebay contender, (known as the knight’s of the forum), that pulleth the @Merlin Cat brake drum free will be rightfully crowned King/Queen of Techenders.
Just make sure the shoes aren't too tight otherwise they will drag and heat up and start to smell as you're driving down to TE
mrs @Merlin Cat it would be a miracle if @CollyP was up atall before you had finished doing it with others
Mine did that after a visit to a garage - then they smoked and then the pedal went to the floor as the fluid boiled
