3. Remove the brake disc (might need a few smacks from a rubber mallet on the disc face)

You can now get access to the 2 brake shoe pads!

4. Using needle nosed pliers or (preferably) a spring removal tool (£5 on Amazon) release the 2 springs that hold the shoes in place. Short one at the top and longer one at the bottom

5. Once free, the brake shoes should just pop out as they are held in with retaining springs but make sure you keep the H shaped spacer bar that sits between the top of the 2 shoes.

6. remove the old retaining clips and replace with the new ones

7. Slip in the new brake shoes making sure the base rests against the block at the bottom and the notch sits in the handbrake cam section (it's self explanatory when you see it. And make sure they sit nicely behind the new retaining clips

9. Replace the bottom spring

10. Replace the H sparser bar

11. Replace the top spring

12. Refit the calliper

13. Refit the wheel and test


This took me about 40mins of working it out 1 side and then 10mins the other side - it's really easy!!
