Hi. Redoing the brakes on my 63. Finished with the front. Issues included shoes reversed and one adjuster couldn't move due to a wrong spring.
Moving on to the rear, the shoes on it side to side don't match but both have a smaller shoe on the front. I guess they were changed and different times. Replacement shoes are the same size lining. Is this an issue on the rear?
Replacement hardware is nearly identical to the front. Currently the springs holding the shoes in place are both the same and looks correct. Kit only has on long spring for each side so I may have to reuse one on each side. The springs for the shoes are different with a yellow and a green spring which is heavier. Again, only one of each for both sides. What should I use? Thanks. It been 30 years since I did one of these.
