Abstract
In order to facilitate assembly and disassembly of a vehicle, the invention provides a method of assembling and disassembly a drum brake (). In this assembly and disassembly method, the operating spacing of two brake shoes (and) inside a drum brake () is pre-adjusted. The invention makes it possible for the drum brake () to be delivered with the brake shoes (and) in a position where they are clamped against each other, corresponding to assembly clearance, while potentially retaining the spacing needed to match the operating clearance of the drum brake. A single action (A, B) on the hand-brake lever () enables the shoes to be moved from assembly clearance to operating clearance.
