I know there are a few good posts on these but can someone tell me how tricky these are likely to be .Have been changing oil etc for literally decades but only did first brake pads over the Summer .How long should I allow working slowly ? So the adjuster is as fragile as glas and shouldn't be 'stabbed with a screwdriver '(!) Apart from drums themselves is anything else likely to be sticky .I tried vainly to tighten the rear / handbrake up a while ago by tighten cable adjuster AT the handbrake .I should loosen this a bit before starting ? Thanks for all opinions ,advice even if only to advise I drop it in to local mechanic.

Relatively an easy task even for the novice. A Haynes manual is a cheap investment & good place to start (if there's one available) Apart from the usual tools, some brake cleaner & copper grease are handy. Another item is plus gas or similar for rusty bits.

How long...well, how long is a piece of string? Depends how confident you are with the spanners. Give yourself an hour for the first side shall we say & the other side is a doddle after your learning curve. Have you a dry place to work on the car?
