freebacking brakes question

Thanks, I thought so but the picture was labeled as right from the website I d/loaded it from .... it had me second guessing. If you look close at the picture, notice that the backing plate mounting holes for the brake parts can be either right or left - just depends on which side you are mounting it. I think the large shoe needs to be on the back side of the assembly. On either side. On cars with rear drum brakes, the larger shoe is in the front... |

No, the larger shoe always goes towards the back. the front brake actuates the rear brake. Causing more force to be appled to the brake. therefore the large shoe on the back. |

Please explain HOW there is "more force" applied to the secondary shoe??? The PRIMARY shoe, which is the front, is largest. |

The PRIMARY shoe, which is the front, is largest. The rotation of the wheel carries the front one top to the front, and bottom to the back. The rear brake, being anchored at the top, is wedged against the drum with extra force applied by the front shoe to the bottom of the rear brake. |
