Hi all,
I just got my sweet little 125 and it runs good but when you hit the brakes it sequels like a stuck pig! I thought I might take a look so I pulled off the tire and wheel, and removed the dust cover only to find no accessible brake components. There are two large nuts on the axle where it all comes together and I'm hoping there is a way to service the brakes without removing the right axle. How do inspect/replace the rear brake shoe(s)? Thanks in advance.

So if anyone else in the future has the same problem I wanted to come back and post the solution. The two large nuts next to the brake hub need to back off until you can slide them all the way to the end of the axle. This will not allow the axle to slide off or out of position, see first pic. This allows the brake hub to follow suit exposing the shoes and springs. Pretty easy once I realized that those two large nuts only keep the brake hub in place.
