| Boy do I feel like a rookie I installed everything pertaining to the left rear drum brake, and all went well but the right side isn't set up the same in the adjuster area. I need a clear picture showing how the right side should look when fully assembled with the adjuster area clearly visible. The part that makes contact with the star wheel had a "R" for right side on it and seems to be placed differently than the left side. Never liked messing with drum brakes, to damn many parts to have to be placed in the correct location and order Wish it was 4 wheel disc! Any directional help is appreciated. Steve | |

| Make sure the adjuster is set the same on both sides.... Star OPENS when spun UP.
Also, there is no "right/left" think of it as "front/rear" | |

| The two sides should be mirror images. | |
