The hex bar for the new brake adjuster arrived at the start of the week.  First job was to finish cleaning and paint the outside of the N/S front brake servo.   Whilst this was curing, I prepared the brake shoes for the N/S/F, filled the grease retaining bushes with copper grease and hung them on their pins, ready for the return spring to be installed  I noted that the back plate seemed closer to the brake shoes, compared with the other side, so some adjustment may be necessary.  After fitting the spring and aligning the N/S/F brake shoes, I set about cleaning the loose rust and dust from the both front brake drums, ready for refitting.
