Poor offside brakes!

The van was dug out of its winter slumber, it was taken to the MOT station for a check over, all was well apart from very uneven front brakes.
Back home, its time for a strip down. 
Wheel and brake drum removed, contaminated brake shoes were revealed.
Also the piston in the lower cylinder was a bit sticky due to slight corrosion of the aluminium.
The shoes were contaminated with grease which the hub seal had let pass.
No problem, all the parts needed were on the spares shelf in the garage.

Removing the inner wheel bearing.
