How do you get the pins out to replace brake shoes? It looks like there is a pin that you remove a clip and push out the back of the backing plate but it looks like the pin has a sleave over and if it does it will now be one part. Thought may be some one has be there and done that before.

    Take a look over on YTMAG (yesterdaystractors). A quick search of "800 brakes" yielded some of the info you may be looking for.

    They talked about torching the shoes to get to the pins that held them but i will have these relined so that was out. I got one side apart. The pins are about 3/4" they have a pipe over them and they go through a hole in the shoe and stick out the backing plate. I heated the end up red hot and used a air chisel with a blunt punch. The end of the pin that is inside the drum has a clip on it. One was missing its clip but its not need after rust takes over.
