Either by careful levering or by the use of grip
pliers, release one end of each brake shoe spring.
Take care not to lose the springs if they should
fly when released. Also, take great care not to
damage the spring retaining hooks on the brake
shoes.

The brake cover plate can be dismantled further
by detaching both ends of the expander lever tie
rod, removing the nut and washer from each expander
and lifting clear both expander levers. The
expander can then be removed for cleaning and
greasing and if necessary the gauze covers can also
be removed.

Reassembly of this brake is a straight reversal
of the dismantling procedure. The brake shoes are
identical. When reassembling the brake, lightly
grease the expanders and expander bosses in the
cover plate and also the pivot pins and working
areas at the ends of each brake shoe. Take care to
ensure that the brake shoe springs are properly
fitted at both ends, and that the circlips are
correctly located to the pivot pins.
