its easy, as long as nothing has rusted on

if one has been leaked on, you will have to change the shoes. when changingh shoes, you must change both sides. if i were you i would change both cylindres as well, they arnt expensive, and at least you know it has been done:thumbs:

I would most certainly change both cylinders, if ones gone the other wont be far behind!

Brake shoes if it mine i would change them too but it depends how bad they have been leaking.

Depends how competent you are!

One of my cylinders has gone. Going to have a go at fixing it myself just have a few questions.

1. Am i best changing both cylinders or is this unessacery
2. Will the brake shoes need replacing as one has been leaked on
3. Is it a bitch to do

Anyhelp appreciated:thumbs:
