I'm uninstalling the big brakes and puting the drums back on... I need a picture to reference, I don't remember how they go by memory.
mr. mechanic doesnt remeber how to instal drum brakes? pssh
o wait you work on VWs. cars that come with rear disc brakes after the 90s, like cars should, nevermind...lol
wish i had a pic for you but i jsut wanted to throw in that joke sorry. lol
My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again
I managed to find this:
If you need pics of something, lemme know, I have the full rear setup in boxes in my garage, I can easily "re-assemble" them, and snap some pics for you.
Just note the location of the hole in the backing plate for the e-brake cable in relation to the star wheel (#16 adjuster screw), and lock (#7 actuator lever)
That should tell you the correct direction/placement of the starwheel for each side.
and BTW, which car is this for??
That setup is for the older brakes, the 03+ are identical in assembly, but might look slightly different.
Its for an 03+ that exploded view doesn't even remotely resemble the 03+ setup, thats pretty much a traditional setup right there.
Lucky the 03+ only has a few parts so I figured it out
thanks though
Good to hear you got it figured out at least....post a pic so I can see the differences. They dont have the horseshoe spring do they??
Holy crap. I didn't even remember I still had that diagram still hosted. Nice find.

the 03-05 brakes are larger then the 95-02's.

That would imply the "next guy" would search.....and that he would still have the pic hosted somewhere.....the chances of both of those things happening are slim...

I think I've posted it before, but....
so they DO have the horseshoe clips....
I was lookin for that picture earlier.
sorry to necro post, but if the drums are kinda stuck on there, should i just smack it with a rubber mallot or sledge hammer to loosen it up?

between the 2....sledge, but i use a smaller version of one myself, or just a larger hammer. My everyday hammer is around 40oz.

I'm replacing the adjusting screws on my 99 2.2L Cavy. The guy I bought the car from apparently replaced them with either both forward or reverse thread adjusting screws, I can't remember now. My Haynes doesn't specify which screw is for what side. A little help would be much appreciated.
People can't learn common sense. You're born with it. Either you have it or you just don't!
Usually the adjusting screw has a R or L on it. If it's new you can see this. when you buy the new one, tell the people which side you need and you should receive the correct side for repair.

i need a picture of a 95 drum brake assembly, my ebrake broke (the clip that pulls on the parking brake lever) i need a picture so I can show some people what I am talking about so they can find me the part, or does anyone here know where I can get it, thx
yours would be the diagram posted first.
that diagram does not include a pic of the rectangular clip that comes off the brake line to hook and pulls on part #19 when you pull the ebrake
I'm hoping for a non-exploded view of that same thing. I get the joy of doing my rear drums either tonight or on the weekend and who-ever did them last really messed some stuff up and now it's a mess back there. luckly, my rear brakes still work, a bit. . .
I'm trying to install the Brake shoes of an '03 Cavalier but I ran into a little problem. The manual I was using said that the pin that attaches the brake lever to the Shoe slides right out but that is not the case. I could always destroy it to release the Brake lever but the autoparts store doesnt seem to have it. any tips would be appreciated.

Is there a choice for back brakes like hawk hps pads or does it matter?
