One good thing about this experience is in a few days I will have the necessary tools to do a remote change if necessary. I will have a spare drum with bearing mounted all ready to go.
I am doing the job in a boatyard but even here I had to run out to borrow the 36mm spindle nut. Dexter, in their wisdom, is metric so my ample supply of everything else does not contain any 19mm sockets or ring spanners for the brake plates which are also being done.
Sheesh! Expensive week. Fresh rubber going on too. As a wheel comes off it is run over to the local garage to be changed while I do the brake & drum side of things.
