If the shoes and drums are in place then yes but be very careful and test the hand brake often.

No shoes on the front of van , just the old cylinders , if the handbrake works independently I should be ok ?

Actually I think it's the back , anyhow I just left it were it was, I had planned to bring it up beside the outdoor tap , but I the end I just sprayed it down with a spray bottle , the brakes , just got everything loosened , putting new cylinders on tommorrow took me a good while as I couldnt open the 15mm hose bolt , my cheap spanners was just starting to round the bolt , in the end I used a 15mm spanner thingy that I bought for vintage bike pedals worked a treat anyway thank u , hopefully back on the road by the werkend
