MG Midget '67 rear brake system rebuilt

After having solved the previous problem with the fuel pump and enjoying my drive, another issue came up (what a surprise!!).
I noticed that the rear right wheel was dragging a bit and at some point it started smoking. So I knew there was a problem with my rear brakes and I had to pull up my sleeves (once again) and look into it.
So in this video, I'm replacing the drums, the shoes, the wheel cylinders and the rubber brake hose. I also do an adjustment on the handbrake, ensuring a nice and safe braking of the rear brakes of my little Midget.
Please let me know what you might have done different and what have I missed. Please share your knowledge with me and teach me things!

Great job. Very good description of each part of the job. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChrisSofos]

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to be of help :)

[@AndrewLale]

Just about to do this on my 68 Midget. Thanks for all the useful tips and info.

[@ChrisSofos]

You're very welcome

Another job done good. Do they make a disk replacement kit. I got a 66 mustang and anytime I did the rear brakes I would say next time I’m putting in disk brakes even though I kept it mostly original

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks so much, Marc! They do have kits to convert it to disc brakes, and it'll be much better with that, giving zero issues. But like you said, the reason I keep it that way is to keep it original

6:42 how did you apply that retention ring? It feels like we have to stretch it.

[@ChrisSofos]

I have to admit that I found it very difficult!! It took me ages to put it in place. I used a small hammer in the end to force it into its groove!

[@watershmeep9305]

@@ChrisSofos that’s what we did too. We figured there might be another way.
