   Ive finally got a replacement axle for my 1.1 desire, come off a furio with 58000 on the clock, got the axle and cables for £60.
   Its going into the garage to get fitted on saturday morning, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do it to make the drums run smoother etc. Im obviously going to get as much rust off as I can but I dont expect that to help dramatically,
   Any help?
   Cheers

   new bearings and reset the rear brakes, possibly new shoes and measure the drums to see if there round and within spec...

   ^ as he said also you can't say to to a quick coat of paint to protect it for the future

   New bearings would be my first point of call
