Assembled dust shield to nearside rear axle.  Cleaned out seal lands and bellows seals. Fitted new oil seal felt both sides then refitted bellows seals with clean oil to  mating surfaces.  Resurfaced brake linings (full ppe and breathing mask) to remove ridges that will otherwise mess up adjustment.  Cleaned brake shoe pivot pins ready to fit shoes.  Examined drums for wear and decided that apart from a score on inside edge on one, they will live.
