Great [emoji106] done one side just the other to do no point changing shoes if I don’t need to!
With "normal" use and no leaks the rears are almost fit for life, that's the issue they never get taken off and inspected often they will last at least 10 years on a small car.
They look absolutely fine too me , loads of friction material left , Good job getting drum off

Thanks for the photos - now I know what they look like!
Looks like it'll be a fair while before mine need doing anyway. At the last service my mechanic reported my front brakes 20% worn and that was after six years on the road and just over 17k miles.
