There are a few - but social distancing in Aus is probably quite easy

Yes the bedding in procedure - but you have to properly adjust the shoes in the drum first which is all in the Brake bible - if the shoes are too far from the drums, then they have to be pulled too far and the actuator runs out of travel. But if its squealing, the cogs are not going to last. You abs...
