did the rear drums today. 2 hours do both. and found out the drivers side wheel as loads of play in it at 9 o clock

anyway on with the drum colour

before any work



a wire brush and water wash down



1st coat going on - 1st coat done




4th coat (still slightly wet)




with wheel on. much better than looking at rust




and last alloy needing to be buffed up . came up well.

cool,
did you strugle getting that nut off.. did it just keep turning ?

[Gary406]

no it came off straight away

it was a torx in the end of it (i'm guessing genuine links)

so i put a T40 in a 1/2 inch drive ratchet and a 16mm spanner over the nut and it came of with ease.

tip-x'd the inner bolt to ensure it went on same way.

also got inner bolt off with ease as well with my tools its easy. got a load of extension bars to get socket and ratchet in.

took a piccy when i'd finished.
