Hi All,
I bought some new brake shoes and this morning I pulled off the drums and the old shoes. I have read on this forum to check the cylinders to see if they were leaking. So I pulled back the rubber dust covers and this is what I found.
I didn't know what they meant when people have said to check for the brake fluid leaking - now I do. You can also see the rust in the brake fluid.
You can also see from the backing plate that the paint is stripped presumably from leaking brake fluid.
I guess I am off to the shop to get a couple of new cylinders. Thanks to this forum I knew what to check for and hopefully I will have better brakes soon.
David.
