Barry the XRDT

[RAW]

I'm really crap at updating threads!

Few thousand miles into being used Kirsty started to complain that the handbrake was no longer holding the car very well, and I didn't think it was very good to start with to be honest, so a little brake service was in order.

Stripped the rear end down and decided to just change the lot:

Referred expanders and adjusters both sides
Cleaned and repainted backplates
New shoes
New drums with a coat of hi temp paint
New rear bearings (story in themselves)

First set of bearings (from GSF) were some crap brand, forget the name, first one on failed before being fully installed. Replacement bearings from ECP were much better quality, but of course ended up costing more monies to have the crap ones pressed back out again and the second set pressed in!





Drums later got a coat of silver after the bearing change as I wasn't keen on the black and it all got damaged changing the bearings since it hadn't been cured.



All good after
