The Parts

The front wheels have discs, pads and calipers. The rear wheels have drums, shoes and pistons. Here we have the piston at the top, the shoes down either side and a load of springs.

The Special Tool

I have just rewritten this page and taken new photos. This way only possibly needs 1 special tool. The ones I used here are Sealey VS054. Just search on Google or eBay for VS054. You may not need them at all depending how strong the handbrake cable spring is. When new, the spring is very tight.
