Brakes.
They are pretty straightforward really, have you got the Workshop manual Andrew?
The drums should come off hopefully once you slacken the adjusters off, there should be a threaded hole towards the middle somewhere that you can fit a bolt into if they need some help. If you can, try to keep the original drums, some of the aftermarket ones can be a bit dodgy.
Wheel cylinders can probably be resleeved, or just buy a complete new set, avoid Britpart here, safety critical parts!
Probably a good idea to replace the 3 flexible hoses, the military ones need to be longer than the standard ones due to the military suspension height.
I have used a vacuum bleeder for the last few, it gives really good results with a firm pedal. ( A bit of grease on the bleed nipple threads helps stop air entering the thread here which can look like air coming out of the system).
Once the system is bled, it’s all about adjustment, the workshop manual has the correct procedure for this.
There are a lot of war stories about Series brakes, but I have found that the vacuum bleed method works really well.
Good luck Andrew, let us know how you go!
Cheers,
Mike.
