Easy job,put new oil seal in and burn the shoes with a torch or stick em in the oven. It burns the oil outa em!!!!! 5 min job!

you might want to recon the mechanism in there to... theres like 2 round cylinders that go up a litle slope to expand the shoes. I had this recently where the handbrake was lose but shoes would not relese. I just cleaned them up with wd40 and then regreased. its like new now.

Drain about a litre of oil out of the transfer box first, otherwise it comes out of the gearbox flange when you slacken the nut off.
