Pictures and instrucitons related to the wheels and brakes

That's the view on rear right wheel with unmounted braking drum (before cleaning and painting).
 
In case you need to unmount the braking cylinder (nr 1), I would recommend you the following order:
  • Remove the spring (nr 2 on picture)
  • Remove the fixators nr 3
  • Now the braking pads are not fixed. Note that they are not connected to at points nr 4, they are just touching that place.
  • Unscrew the braking fluid pipe from behind the cylinder, then unscrew braking cylinder from behind the wheel.
  • To assemble, reverse the process above.
