DId I do this right

Took my brakes apart months ago and just put them back together, just making sure I did it right. Did I get all the springs in the right spot and are they right.

Re: DId I do this right

So according to the link, the spring on the adjustment arm that contacts the star should be flipped over? The one on the left just above the green hold down spring...please excuse my general terminology.

Re: DId I do this right

Sorry but I think you have your shoes reversed. If we're looking at the left rear brake, the short (primary) shoe should be on the front.

Let me rephrase that. The short primary shoe should always be in the forward position. If we're looking at the left rear brake the shoes appear to be reversed.

Yep I can see that now, it was late. No springs or trailing arms, and obviously a front spindle instead or a rear axle flange!
