[Brakes] Rear shoes.

[dunc391]

HI everyone. Can you please tell me if it is really necessary to undo the wheel cylinder when changing the rear brake shoes, as Im afraid of shearing the bolts and turning it into a big job! The car is a 2007 1.6 16v. Thank you.

^ ^ what Geoff says

Ignore Haynes' idea - preassemble all the springs/adjuster and fit like the guy does on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_UIUbsMr-Q (skip to about 6 minutes in)

That's a 206 but quite similar.

Take a photo of the brakes first - makes life easier if you forget.
