Recommissioning my A7 could somebody explain what's normal with regards to the rear brakes.
The vehicle has stood for many years and the initial test drive at time of purchase was limited but it was obvious the brakes needed attention i.e they didn't work!
Front brakes were fine but these only worked the front via the handbrake.
Removing the rear drums, showed signs of oil, not on the shoes themselves but on the stud flange and a trace at the bottom of the back plate. Question is this normal?
The shoes look fine although I plan to replace. The drums however are rusty and pitted, is it possible to skim? or should I replace these as well.
Cables look good no fraying but is it normal for the n/s cable to have two turn screw adjusters side by side, this seems strange not sure why I have two.
One again
Many thanks
Paul
