jamesey Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi Jamesy, on most Ibiza's the easiest way to fit the rear shoe assembly is to remove the hub. It's a single nut (32mm I think, but may be bigger) then the hub should just slide off, be careful not to get any grit or dirt inside the hub. Now you can assemble the spings and shoes and just fit them straight on the back-plate. When they are secure, you need to tighten the hub nut to 70Nm then a further 30 degrees with a bar. Be careful not to overtighten by jumping on the bar as some DIY mechanics tend to when a torque wrench isn't available! It's always recommended to use a new hub nut also when possible. Leave the shoes unadjusted when putting the drums on, adjust with a pointed tool or punch afterwards, through one of the bolt holes. Don't forget to tap the hub centre cap back on. ok chap , ive been trying to do them without removing the centre hub/bearing , the top spring looked immposible , thanks ill be carrying on with it tomorow afternoon.
