My mistake they’re 33/10.5r16. Want to do general off road course nothing too extreme but want her to look more rugged too. I don’t want to get into cutting or go more than 2”lift really

Recently got a disco 1 and looking to put some bigger tyres on it. Thinking of putting a 2” lift kit on. I don’t know what size tyres I can get away with but have been offered some 35/12.5r15s or am I better off with a more standard 235/85r16? Thanks in advance

As a 110 my shoes are symmetrical. Should have stc2797 fitted however they’re different to those already fitted. Same size but more shoe material than the existing which is causing the problem

help! just fitted new rear brake shoes on my 1986 110 The drum was a tight fit. assumed it was because the shoes were not aligned so tapped it on anyway. tried the brakes and have played with the adjusters but the drum is solid! no rotation on the hub at all! what have I done wrong? I've tried...

ok so my transmission brake shoes are now assembled correctly (I believe) unfortunately I can't stop the scuffing and have about 5 clicks on the handbrake. it almost stops rubbing then I apply and release the hand brake and its back again. I adjust it back another click and the same happens...

Totally although I’ve found trailblazers to be spot on otherwise. Trouble with the britannica one is the lack of light on his handbrake one!

I missed this post!!! totally agree with what your saying - notch by the expander and it'll look just like how they came off. what's confused me is the multitude of videos and forum pics of the notches on the adjuster side.

in this screenshot from trailblazers YouTube I have the style on the right. I have assembled them with the notches for the spring on the left at the adjuster as per his video but bottom right you can see there is an inch of plate with no lining. mine only has 10mm with no lining. I can't rotate...

I think that's what's confused me. photo shows a leading and trailing shoe, I thought I had 2 identical shoes each with a leading and trailing edge. taking it back to basics if I had the shoe in my hand how would I know what the leading edge is?

Thanks for this explanation, think I’m getting there! Probably very simple but hard to get my head around. The adjuster on the left is my pivot point? The expander on the right, pushes both pads to the drum Both shoes have a leading and trailing edge? Both leading edges should be on side of...

Thanks for those. I’d only watched his transmission brake one which made me think I’d installed them incorrectly. Can you confirm what identifies the leading Edge? Using the side with the lining set about an inch from the edge of the shoe or does something else signify it? The definition of the...

Thanks, yes I see that the trouble is I’ve watched loads of tutorials etc online and have seen it both ways. As for the shoe lining itself one side it starts at the edge of the shoe and the other has an inch of shoe before the lining begins. This would make it opposite to the old ones?

as in top to bottom or each one in same position but reverse face outward? How do you tell the leading edge?

problem solved, old mud Shield fits over the casing, new one fits onto the flange and sits just inside.

I've got myself totally confussled over the correct orientation of any transmission brake shoes. I've been searching YouTube and looking at pics but to me they all seem to be fitted different ways! could someone please confirm what is correct? 1st pic shows them as I took them apart, 2nd the new...

my transfer box was leaking into handbrake drum, I believe the cause to be a groove in the flange. hard to describe but the old flange was of one diameter along its length, the new one has a chunkier bit at the base of about 5mm depth. the old one had a mud seal that fitted over the gearbox...

Shame, I’ve got the one for the 110 and it’s a brilliant resource
