Hi folks Just took the boys Micra down for MOT and all it failed on was the rear brakes low efficiency. The handbrake passed the test fine though so the guy reckons it's wouldn't be the shoes, possibly leaking cylinders? It's absolutely pissing it down out there today so I'm not gonna look at it till later in the week but any suggestions would be most grateful. I've not touched shoes and drums before although I've done front discs and pads on a Micra before and it was really easy, once the front wheels and calipers were off the discs just dropped off as they are held on by the wheel nuts. Are the rear drums gonna be as easy? As you can probably gather I'm a novice mechanic but I'll have a go! Many thanks Gareth
