1986 1.6 rear brake drum - macca
Handbrake is seizing on right hand side.
Presumably I need to remove the brake drum to free/ lubricate.
How do I do that?

Or is there another likely cause?

Thank you
Stevie

Remove wheel
Remove dust cap ( hammer and chisel or old screwdriver )
undo nut in middle ( 30 mm ) normal Left hand thread (can be tight )
Pull off drum.
Sometimes if it does not want to come off then refit the wheel and pull. this gives you more leverage.

can anyone else help with the torque setting of the large centre nut?
