tintop question
hi all, i got a saxo a few months a go for a car to learn to drive in. it is a saxo, 1.1, forte, year 2000 if it makes any diffrance, and i want to
change the rear drums and shoes. as i have changed the front disc and pads.
i was wondering were would be the best place to get the drums and shoes from?
i have looked on ebay and they are 45.00 for the drums and 15.00 for the shoes, are these about the right price or not? plus postage of £10 for the
drums and £5 for the shoes
thanks
stuart
p.s. it is 4 stud as they make a 3stud saxo.

look at the online catalogue on here, i always think they are reasonably priced.
note: check for drums being sold in singles and not pairs.

You may want to change the rear wheel bearings as well as they have to be pressed out of the drum in order to reuse them . Also get new hub nuts as
they have to be "staked" into the stub axle groove. Probably worth fitting new rear wheel cylinders as well then you should be able to
forget about the rears for a while

Don't go mad just fit new shoes and check the wheel cylinders for leaks.
It is normal practice only replace the drums if they are badly scored. -- in any case the rear brakes on a Saxo don't do any stopping ----
95% of the stopping is done by the front brakes.

it is just that the handbrake is not good, and the drums do need replacing, as i took them of and had a look, before i brought them.

I had a 3 stud 106 - the handbrakes are never all that good (as I'm sure Mango & McSpeedy will tell you)
keeping them adjusted properly is you best bet - I replaced the whole lot, wheel cylinders, levers, shoes, drums, bearings - and it hardly made any
difference in the end (apart from being easier to work on each time they needed a adjusting)
