Excellent vid.


I have two recommendations.
First, use moly grease on brake parts, rather than axle grease.
Second, when you have the brake shoes off of the backing plate, take the time to make an index punch to show the relationship of the lever to the camshaft and then remove the lever. This allows you to remove the cam and apply a little moly to it for long life. If you don't lubricate the cam, it will create a sloppy hole in the backing plate over time.
