a beep 9mm 12 point jobby, actually push the socket "into" the nipple and keep the ratchet supported, otherwise it'll snap the bloody nipple clean off :thumbs:

cheers guys, i can get the drum and shoes quite cheap but wasnt too sure about the actual wheel cylinder part, but if its cheap then its cool, il try giving it a good knock and using socket and ratchets :thumbs:

if you snap it its only a few quid for a new wheel cylinder.

Give it a few taps on its head with a hammer. Will loosen it up.
