TR2/3/3A TR3a Brake Shoes

[JohnnyMead]

Are the rear brake shoes removed by pulling the shoes off the adjuster and cyl slots with the return springs still attached?

Thanks,
John

In a word, "yes."

They're put back that way too. Assemble the pair with the springs, lift 'em up there and wiggle/pry 'em back into their slots.

Thanks. I know its a simple question, but I'm taking baby steps here!

I find it easier to take them off the adjuster first; and back on the adjuster last.
Of course, if you have the type with the hold-down springs, they have to come off before the shoes.
