What have I done wrong?
I have removed the drum from my drum brakes, but the rubber from the actuator has unsealed itself as can be seen. It is pink in colour. What have I
done wrong and how can it be eradicated?
Many thanks

Not a good pic, but if I'm seeing it right just clip the rubber back over the cylinder & gently squeeze the shoes down to push the piston
back in enabling you to get the drum back on.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

was it like this before you took the drum of though? if not, then push it back in as said, but if it was like that inside the drum, it needs more
fixing!

Poor picture but looks like the other end has'nt moved. So all movement has come from one end. Take off the shoes and check that if you push
in the piston at one end the other moves out by the same distance. Careful push to quickly and it will pop out the other end.....
If the other end doesn;t move suggest cyclinder is siezed.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.
