I'd reccomend for someone else to do the job, horrible things those handbrake shoes are.


Are you sure it is the shoes that are knackered, and not just adjustment that is needed?

Both the 'star' type adjuster through the hole in the discs and the compensator bar under the car in about the middle.

My handbrake was awfull, resulting in me fannying about changing the shoes. I reckon just changing the disc and adjusting would have solved the problem a lot easier.
