Suggest you take the cover off the drum first, no need to remove prop, and have a good look around see if you need any other parts as well, linkeage etc

will do thanks

Benji:
Ive often wondered about this so correct me if im wrong.

Surely if the brake pads or shoes only come into contact when the vehicle is stationary then in theory the pad should never wear out, thus never need changing!

hobbit:
True, these transmission brakes do last longer, because unlike the drum brakes on normal vehicles they act as main and secondary brakes

Its the same with all round disk brake systems, with inboard handbrake shoes, dont change them very often, but can be sods to do

But sometimes they just need checking, cleaning and adjusting, rather than replacing, although long term use can lead to the condition of the friction material to be less efficient, especially with water and mud contamination
