Oh yes, part of the repair process. A couple of cautions:
DO NOT breath the brake dust when you blow it off the brake drum - causes cancer.
DO NOT use trichloroethylene to clean brake parts - causes cancer
CAUTION using brake cleaner - even the stuff without TCE
INVEST in a brake tool to replace the return springs (unless you are really quick with two screwdrivers).
When bleeding the brakes, make sure the person pumping the pedal ain't half deaf (an eye full of brake fluid is painful).
Adjust the brake shoes back before trying to replace the drum - the new shoes are thicker
Drink no more than one beer per wheel
Got it -
