As you have to check the lot you may as well dismantle both sides
completely, clean, inspect the brake cylinders and replace the seals if
the bores are without any scoring or renew the cylinders all together if
at all scored and renew the brake hose(s), sparingly lubricate the
sliding surfaces, adjusters and pivot points with some aluminium or
copper grease but be careful not to contaminate the linings or the
drums. Fit the brake shoes the proper way (leading / trailing edge etc.).
