Fiat 500 Rear Brake Shoes Replacement, Remove Hub Or Not? same as ford ka

The Rear Wheel Kept Jamming, Not Rotating like the handbrake was jamming on, the issue was down to the rear brake shoes loosing their linings.
In this video I replace the brake shoes,
It can be done without removing the rear hub but it's difficult.
The easer way is to remove the hub. I show both options in the video.

this is easily the best rear brake servicing video .. i am 78 yrs and have recently serviced a 2021 Fiat Panda Hybrid .. I love mechanicing on vehicles ..the rear wheels were not spinning freely at only 25,000 km from new . one hub was dragging and the other drum was catching slightly .ECONOMY?. with the shoes and hub removed I washed the backplate using brake cleaner .. Brushed a liberal coating of 3M cavity wax rust preventer all over ., Greased all of the brake shoe contact points and reassembled. taking care to copper grease everything which slid or moved . spraying some chain lube into the springs coils and the pivot on the handbrake shoe . The slightly rusty edge on the brake drum was removed using a pad made out of 150 grit emery paper .

Fantastic…wife’s 500 rear brakes failed as the wheel cylinder sprung a leak and I was looking for the procedure to go about replacing it all ( including drums that are 13 years old)…found your vids and they are superb! Thanks so much for posting as it saves rummaging through 5 or 6 pages of a Haynes manual and invariably cocking it up. Top job buddy

Cheers for the help. Actually doing work on mk2 Ka as same as the 500 and easier to find 500 videos. Sister's car failed mot as the hsndbrake was barely working on 1 side. My and my mate took it apart to have a look to see what was wrong and the shoe fell apart. The pivot point was stuck but needed new shoes. Got 1 done tonight. Will replace the other tomorrow

Great vid , hopefully help me replace rear brakes on my 500 . Any advice , if I may ask ? Can’t get rear drum off one side . If I slacken handbrake cable off inside the vehicle , will this aid in removing the drum ? Thanks in advance for any advice. Happy new year.

[@aaanton11]

use the bolt holes on the drum like I show later in the video to wind it off, defiantly slacken the handbrake, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Great info , ive opened up a KA 09 adjust the hand brake but found the adjuster is broken , the little clip that id click it on is detached and spinning , i see i can buy them separate does that mean i can do them without changing the whole back brake system ? Thanks
