How to change brake shoes on a piaggio typhoon 125cc moped?

My rear brake is not at all strong and there is alot of freeplay on the left lever. I have tightened the brake wire under the engine case to the fullest and there is no difference, so im assuming its the brake shoes worn out. (Its not a disc brake its a drum brake)



To change the brake shoes what will i need to do. Will i need to loosen the wire, then change the shoes, then tighten the wire back up?How to change brake shoes on a piaggio typhoon 125cc moped?

slow down, you probably dont need new brakes, there adjuster you need to tighten is on the brake drum lever, its just a nut that is screwed onto the actuating rod, you will see its threaded for 2 or 3 inches, you should just need to screw it in, if its that loose, you will probably have to screw it further on quite a bit, like 1/2 to 1 cm.
