Reassembly of front brakes

This is the reverse procedure to dismantling. Ensure that the pull-off springs are correctly fitted to the holes in the webs of the brake shoes and that the shoes register correctly in the slotted ends of the pistons and the side mounting plate.

Upon assembly of the hub and brake drum assembly liberally pack the space between the two bearings with Fiat MR grease, and remount the hub according to the instructions in Chapter 8.
