5. Remove the drum.
6. Similarly, remove the brake drum of the brake mechanism of the other rear wheel.
7. Measure the diameter of the working surface with a caliper. If the diameter exceeds the maximum allowable (see table. 9.1), the drum must be replaced.
WARNING: Replace brake drums in pairs (left and right at the same time).
8. When installing the old drum, use a file to remove the shoulder on the working surface of the drum, formed as a result of wear.
9. Reset the gap adjuster (see point 6 «Replacing the brake pads of the brake mechanism of the rear wheel»).
10. Flatten the brake pads with two mounting spatulas.
11. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
