I know - I can hear all the groans out there. This question probably has been asked thousands of times before. I did a search on the forum and came up with nothing.

I need to pull the brake shoes from my 1953 WD because the lining is gone. I know from previous posts that the hardest part is pulling the pins. Can anyone tell me, or direct me, to instructions on changing the brake shoes?

I live on very steep land and having no brakes is very dangerous.

Again, sorry for the asking a question that may be old hat for you guys.

306A. To remove brake shoes, remove
brake compartment covers. Disconnect
and remove front and rear
shoe return springs (1 & 8). From lower
side of transmission housing, remove
brake shoe anchor pin lock, and
remove anchor pin (15). In the event
that the brake anchor pin cannot be
removed by prying, it may be necessary
to drill and tap the anchor pin
so that a suitable puller of the stud
and sleeve type may be used. Remove
adjusting nut from clevis (6). Front
shoe should be removed first, through
compartment cover opening. Remove
rear shoe in like manner.
Reinstall the front shoe, as an assembly
made up of the brake shoe,
toggle levers, toggle pin and adjusting
clevis and pin. The large brake shoe
return spring (1) is for the rear shoe
and the smaller spring (8) is used for
the front shoe.
