Hi all,
I've had a rather loud clanging sound when going over bumps coming somewhere from the rear right for quite a while... When I finally decided to have a look at the virtually non-working hand brake (I've always been able to find some rocks to put under the wheels when parking on a hill so I didn't think it was that important ) things started to make sense.
First of all, it was clear why the hand brake didn't work.
But I also noticed that the two brake shoes were moving front to back freely, so that also explained the clanging I'd been experiencing! Removing the brake shoes revealed a bit of damage
I'm trying to figure out what this loose ring is to order a replacement (red circled in above picture). From the parts diagram I got https://partsouq.com/tesseract//asse...41/413171A.gif it appears to me that the "brake drum oil deflector" https://partsouq.com/tesseract/asset...4244160060.jpg has split in two, probably because that hand brake shoe was rattling around in there, banging on stuff.
I'd be curious to hear anyone else's opinion on this?
Also, how hard would it be to replace that brake drum oil deflector and the axle oil seal?
It looks like I'd have to remove the axle bearing, assuming I'd need to use a press? Could I reuse the old bearing when putting it back toghether?
Thanks for any advice!
