Hi Keith
Very wise idea at this time of year does not hurt to give the battery a little boost on charge.

Removed the gash caliper from the ZT, followed by the carrier, then the brake disc, and finally the hub bearing.

The handbrake shoes were next, then a clean up and derusting of the backplate, and servicing of the handbrake mechanism.

Disc was cleaned off with a coarse cup brush in the angle grinder, followed by a run over the inner drum with a flap wheel to remove the rust build up.

Hub bearing was next on the list, the oil seal was carefully removed, the inner races removed, then the balls removed from their plastic cages.

The dried grease was washed out with care, the outer races and balls checked for pitting and wear then everything reassembled and packed with fresh LM grease.

Handbrake shoes, were then cleaned, and deglazed under water with wet and dry paper, then dried and refitted to the backplate with new hardware (yes the backplate was in good order )

The overhauled bearing was refitted to the clean stub axle, with a smear of LM grease on the stub axle itself.

Coarse adjustments were made prior to refitting the disc, then finally adjusted through the wheel bolt hole.

The new caliper was mounted to the carrier after fitting the new brake pads, and the bleed nipple opened..........now where on earth did I put my easibleed ??????

Anyway, the light was starting to fail at this point , so I nipped up the bleed nipple and wracked my brain as to the whereabouts of the easibleed kit.

Tools cleaned and put away, disc and caliper covered up for the day, and a well earned shower were just the job

After tea, I remembered where the easibleed kit was........in Frosty's boot

So you can guess what tomorrow's job is going to be
