7 Expand the shoes over the wheel cylinder
then release them from the bottom anchor.
8 Unhook the lever return spring and the
handbrake cable.
9 If necessary, position a rubber band over
the wheel cylinder to prevent the pistons
coming out. Should there be evidence of brake
fluid leakage from the wheel cylinder, renew it
or overhaul it, as described in Section 10.
10 Transfer the handbrake and automatic
adjuster levers to the new shoes as required.
Note that the levers and strut on each rear
wheel are different, and that the leading and
trailing shoes are fitted with different grade
linings.
11 Place the shoes on the bench in their
correct location and fit the lower return spring.
12 Apply brake grease sparingly to the metal
contact points of the shoes, then position
them on the backplate and reconnect the
handbrake cable. Locate the shoe ends on
the bottom anchor.
13 Engage the strut with the slots at the top
of the shoes, making sure it is located
correctly on the automatic adjuster lever.
Engage the upper shoe ends on the wheel
cylinder pistons.
14 Insert the steady spring pins in the
backplate and through the shoe webs, then fit
the springs and outer cups.
15 Fit the upper return spring.
16 Move the serrated automatic adjuster
lever quadrant against the spring tension to
set the shoes at their minimum diameter.
17 Check that the handbrake lever on the
rear brake shoe is positioned with the lug on
the edge of the shoe web and not behind the
shoe.
18 Refit the hub/drum as described in
Section 11, but do not lower the car to the
ground at this stage.
19 Apply the footbrake several times to set
the shoes in their adjusted position.
20 Adjust the handbrake, as described in
Section 15.
21 Repeat all the operations on the opposite
rear brake then refit the roadwheels and lower
the car to the ground.

Rear brake pads (1.9 GTI
models) - renewal
2
Warning: Disc brake pads must
be renewed on both rear wheels
at the same time - never renew
the pads on only one wheel as
uneven braking may result. Dust created
by wear of the pads may contain asbestos,
which is a health hazard. Never blow it out
with compressed air and do not inhale any
of it. DO NOT use petroleum-based
solvents to clean brake parts. Use brake
cleaner or methylated spirit only. DO NOT
allow any brake fluid, oil or grease to
