It's the self-adjust lever return spring - pic below for reference and orientation (from a C20, but same location/function on most brakes).

Well,, thats a real head scratcher because I have not taken the drum brakes apart. Also I stored that spring with the parking brake cable.

So, is the SA return spring still present on your rear brakes? I only ask because it is very possible you removed the spring to get at the parking brake cable attach point when you removed the p-brake cables. If it's still there and you also have this extra spring, then I agree it's a head scratcher.

I have never had the drums off the axle. I assume the return spring is still there.
