I noticed that the wheel cylinder in one of my rear wheel drums is leaking
slightly.
I have stripped out down to the removal of said cylinder. I am slightly hung
up on the bit in the BMC book which refers to the "wheel cylinder locking
plates".
Disconnect the handbrake lever..remove brake shoes...disconnect pressure
pipe..remove dust cover.all done.
Then "prise the retaining plate and spring plate apart and tap the retaining
plate from beneath the neck of the wheel cylinder".ho hum. The illustration
shows 2 flat plates and the car showed a mess covered in crud and brake
fluid. It seems that the plates cannot be flat? Maybe one is sprung and fits
into the other?
Anyone care to enlarge before I go into battle with something which is
probably child's play the second time round?
Thanks,
Simon.
