I can't start dismantling until I know that I'm able to reassemble to the right torque settings (my wrenches have a max torque of 350Nm).

If its a 6 stud single wheel you can't get the half shaft out until the drum is off

So you're saying that I don't need to remove the hub to remove the drums - that's in contrast to what the Haynes manual reads, but I'm gathering that that's no surprise.
Regardless, if someone could help translate the specifics of my van (axel type etc), it would help me in future work, torque settings etc.
Thanks

Braking surface seems even and smooth.
Brake shoes are also smooth. However, they're uneven. Could this be causing the juddering and locking up of the wheels?
I did check LAV, with engine running and brake pedal being pumped. It consistently moves about 5mm-10mm...although, creaks a little bit.
