Well, I finally got the seized brake drum off and the wheel cylinder out. Now, how do I get the brake shoes off? They seem to be held in with a pin and a wrinkled looking washer. Also, if I break any of this, is there a source for new parts? I’ve never seen anything like the setup that holds the brake shoes in. At least there is only 1 spring and it seems to be in good shape.
