Struggling to get the rear disc off my Zed, everything stripped off, handbrake released but disc catching on the shoes, how do I release the shoes? How do you use the search on here, everytime I try it it just shows up as error?

Lift the leather gaiter lift from either side at rear slots in at front once lifted you will see the cables 9mm lock nut 12mm adjustment nut . Once new discs on adjust at shoes till locked then back off a bit then adjust the cables inside
Cheers Steve will do, which direction on the adjuster to slacken at the wheel? Gonna fit Mtec drilled & grooved discs/pads and a new shoe kit as the old discs are so rusted up but there is hardly any wear on them as car only did 13000 miles between 2002 & 2016 before I got it last October. Steve
Had to do it on the side of the road in France last week ,shine a torch in one of the wheel bolt holes slightly left or right out tdc dependant On which way the adjuster has been fitted insert flat screwdriver and flick up or down
