The "nut" is a small bolt that locates the disc on the hub, lining up the holes in the disc with the threads in the hub for the wheel bolts. You need to remove it to take the disc off.
Make sure your handbrake is free! |

Rear Brakes
Also if you rotate the disc while pulling it off make sure its forward (clockwise) if the shoes are binding or tight backwards (anticlockwise) makes them grip really tight.
Great piece well done Dave |

Re the stubborn disc, I know it's elementary but have you released the handbrake? Also, you sometimes get a ridge on the drum surface behind the shoes and you have to hammer the whole thing off, almost bringing the shoes with it!

Yes have taken the handbrake off, not as daft a suggestion as it may seem, Iv'e done similar in the past! Your probably correct in that its the damn shoes causing the problem. cannot see it being much else as like I said the I've noticed that there is copperslip between the hub and disc at present. Will get the angle grinder on it this morning.

Finally got the disc off. Lots of thumping and swearing. Both shoes had scored a ridge into the drum. Can only assume that the release mechanism on this side isn't working, and every time the handbrake was used the shoes pulled tight to the drum and not released until a bit of driving had worn some away. Resulting over time in the worn ridge, prventing the disc coming off. Other side was fine.

I have just done my handbrake shoes the other day and at first I couldnt get the discs off. But I went and slackenend the adjusting nut off on the cable adjuster to give maximum slack and the discs came off with no problem at all.
The hardest bit was getting the 2 springs off which hold the shoes to the back plate. I had to rive these out then straighten them out again. I also took a picture of the shoes and spring positions before hand with my mob phone just to make sure everything went back in the right place. Took me about an hour in total to do the whole job.

Remember the pads tighten up in the drums, but aren't fixed to the hub in any way and still rotate a bit with the drum until it reaches the "stop". When the wheel is still jacked up you can rotate the wheel each way about 20deg until it hits the stop with a clunk. |

One other problem not mentioned here is that there is often a ring of rust and scale on the inside lip of the brake drum that prevents the disc sliding over the handbrake shoes, even if the adjustment has been slackened off. The only answer here seems to be brute force, which will wreck the retaining springs, so make sure you have some new ones to hand. |

Any chance we could ask the forum people to get this good write up moved to the articles section for good reference?
