Scudo (Expert/Dispatch) Rear Shoe Auto Adjuster Questions?

[carmanmemoranda]

Thanks again John. Will get under there with some open ended spanners to gauge the size of the flare nut wrench needed. I only have one F N wrench which might be imperial. Halfords do some nice long flare nut wrenches in their professional range. Not too worried about the bleed nipple, as cylinder will be binned. Will make sure I crack off the new ones before fitting.

Same with the cyl seals - not too worried about overheating them as will be binned. I realise the good sense you're saying in just doing the seals. Not sure where I would source the correct seals. Could poss rob them out of the new Ferodo cyls I have coming - if the seals are the same. But knowing my track record with rubber things, cv boots, etc - I would end up getting it wrong with fluid leaking all over my nice new shoes.

I'm sure it will go ok.

Just a comment about that.

Sort out the cylinders and any new brake pipes needed before you put the new shoes on

Yes, thanks. New shoes won't be going anywhere near until I have non leaking cylinders installed. I've got a pre-assembled kit coming which includes adjusters, shoes, springs, cylinders. Saved messing around ordering things seperately. Cost £100 and went for Ferodo as some other brands were quite a lot more. Expect to double the van's value.

Will be back wanting details about how to replace the brake lines.

Or 6. Just scrap the thing

Plan B.

Good move.

Will save a lot of aggro
