I'm having a very bad night w/replacing the rear brakes after total disassembly and painting. I even took photos that don't help. The cylinder end spring on the trailing shoe side- does the weirdly bent end of the spring go thru the parking brake lever also? Unfortunately (GRRR!)I didn't mark the levers when I pulled them out of their respective labeled baggies for cleaning/painting. Is there an easy way to tell them apart? My guess is the panhead of the rivet goes up?
 
There was a thread on this very subject within the last 2 or 3 weeks. Answers were given with pix of the assembled rear breaks. I can't find it but it was well attended so look for brake questions with more than 10 replies.
 
here's the reference picture - passenger side

Now copy that picture and paste it into a MS-Word Reference File and label as Spridget Technical Tips. After almost 10 years my Tech Reference File that I've copied and pasted over the years is almost 120 pages long with lots of stuff I've saved. Not indexed but a Control-F(Find) will find almost anything in a few mouse clicks.
 
and I can even send a full sized image if you pm me your email
 
That's what this forum is FOR.

All nonsense aside, the real answers are in the archives.
