So I had the 6 in the garage the other day (Nationwide Autocentres Huddersfield, who have been really good up to now) for a few niggling bits and while they had it in I thought I'd take advantage of a "free no-obligation brake check". As I suspected, the rear brakes are somewhat FUBAR'd.
Apparently there's no way of getting the drums off without damaging the wheel bearings. New drums and bearings will cost me £300.00 (£180 for the bearings and £120 for the drums), and then another £100 on top of that if it needs new brake shoes.
Now I don't doubt that this work is necessary, I've been suspecting as much, but £400 is a fair bit more than I want to pay. I could do the work myself (read "get my stepdad to do the work for me") but I was just wondering what else I'd need other than the parts listed above. You know, any grease packs, nuts, etc. Anybody know?
Cheers
