I wanted to check I order the correct rotors with this not so accurate improvised caliper before taking things apart
yes, close enough for government work
getting the old rotor off is a bit of struggle requiring a sludge hammer even after manually retracting the parking brake shoes through the not too obvious access hole on the hub
the drum surface is smooth
drum brake shoes are hardly worn as they should be and the mechanism are in good shape
this rotor is badly pitted hence the reason for the abnormal ware rate of the pad down to backing plate
squeeze the pistons back in
after cleaning the slider pins I opted to reuse the original rubber collars as the one that came with the pads look inferior; I did the same with those on the Mini
