Hand brake cleaned

As the ouput shaft oil seal is leaking, the hand brake drum had been soaked with oil rendering it useless. I had ordered new brake shoes from the UK, but I ordered the wrong model and they don't fit :-( So I googled about alternative solutions and opted for burning of the oil with a propane torch. I think it worked quite well. After burning them I used a sandpaper so sand them down and they now look like new! We'll see about function when I have put it back together :-)

This is a pic of the hand brake assembly, less the drum. The propshaft attaches to the four bolts in the middle.
