OK, I completly removed my drum brake assembly so that I could clean and detail the rear park brake cable and the brake stuff inside the drum.

Didn't think it would be this hard to find a diagram of how it goes back together so I didn't take a pic of it first or even really pay much attention to how it came apart. (I know, I know, ... big mistake)

Anybody know where I can find a diagram of how it assembles?

Thanks

This is the best I could come up with after a short internet search. Hopefully it'll help.

That is the exact reason I did one side at a time. The other side is perfect to look at. If you have 4 wheel drums, pop off another one and check it out. Consider this a lesson learned!

Yup, one side at a time. I learned this the hard way too. :)

Thanks fellows,

Well, I did get em back together last night. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.

I have the '70 sitting right next to the '69, so, I just popped the drum of of it and had at it. Took all of about 5 minutes per wheel.

Good thing i don't used the DIY websight for everything,holy cow if i have to replace the wheel cylinders and all the springs and hardware everything i change brake shoes that would get spendy, lol in our day nothing else was replaced unless it wore out. which in most cases never did. i have seen some cars that never needed anything but shoes for the life of the car. dunno about the DYI websight

Have you seen what a 35 year old brake cylinder looks like inside? For $10 a pop, it's good insurance to change them. The brake system is one of the most important things in your car, and it can be more spendy not to change them, you know. ;)
