Using the trusty jack that came with the car I remove the wheels and then the brake drums. I tweaked the manual adjuster to ensure no additional drag and to be honest the wheel bearings appear to be fine with no noise or additional play. The rotoflex couplings although a bit weathered are also okay and completely intact. There is a very slight amount of backlash when rotating the hub before the diff UJ moves, approx 2mm of movement I would say. Don't know if this is normal or if this indicates UJ wear so I will have to look into this. The brake shoes themselves also look good with plenty of life left in them. Also realised that I don't have Koni shocks all the way round as the rears are actually Spax with Koni just on the front. Also managed to get some grease into the handbrake cable guides.
