A quick Polo brake drum question?

Mark 14 April 2005 14:32:58
 I've got the nephew bringing his old 1988 Polo 1050cc for me to check
the brakes over. I just wanted to know in advance if the rear drums on
these cars are straight forward removal or does the hub nut also need
removing?
Thanks.

IIRC it's pretty much the same as for other VWs of that age; prise off
dustcap, pull out split pin and lift off the castellated locking washer
(-it's a bit like a crown cork beer bottle top!). Undo the big nut and
remove the thrust washer. The drum comes off with the bearings inside .
Good idea to have a new grease seal for when you replace it. You may as
well replace the outer bearing when you re-assemble the hub, or at least
clean and inspect the old one and then re-pack it with grease. When you
have done with the brakes, put it all back together. Do up the nut until
you can just move the thrust washer by pushing it sideways with a
screwdriver. Use a new split pin when putting back together. Some new
grease in the dust cap and it's done. Shouldn't take too long.

Thanks for that, t'was just as you said. Do you know if the bleed screw
uses a special spanner to undo? It looks square shape rather than a
standard nut shape. I have an old square spanner from the days of manual
brake shoe adjusters but it won't fit over the end of the bleed nipple.
I'd rather wait till I get the right fitting spanner than round it off
with a bodge job.

ISTR it is a normal 8mm one.

It looks like its already been rounded! A new cylinder should only be a
few squid and judging by the state of the original I doubt it would
survive a turn without snapping off anyway.
