Drum brake shoe install
« on: March 04, 2024, 01:48:23 »
The attached picture shows my drum shoe reinstall mockup. Do I have the parts in the correct relationship?  The hand break return spring doesn’t look correct.

From memory and the attached diagram, I think you've got it right.  Don't forget to turn the adjusters all the way "in" to get the drums on.

Cheers,
