As above.
Went to do my handbrake cable, and the Drums / Shoes are all totally wankered.
Basically, I now have no car...
Do the Drums come with wheel bearings already pressed in if i went to a local motor factors for example?
The bearings in the drums are also shagged and so i might aswell just get the whole lot.
Its just a bit difficult getting about using trains and walking! lol
Cheers!

No you'll have to buy them seperate. £7- £10 each.
They wont come with the drums or rear set up when you buy those parts.

I wouldn't imagine they will come with bearings no and no the new bearings don't need pressing in.

They don't need pressing in?
Thats a relief if they don't - Thats the only bit i can't do myself...
It was all just a bidge, and i tried driving it like it is and there's no brakes at all now, the pedal goes to the floor and you just keep moving! lol

Nah I have no brakes because the shoes are broken, the drums are totally grooved and split in places, the handbrake cables have snapped and now the pedal goes to the floor because i took it apart and it all just crumbled away! lol..
Whole new back assembly should do it - If they're cheap i'll just do wheel bearings and Cylinders while i'm in there, though its only done 87k, might aswell just do it!
