Diagram of rear brake springs and pin orientation?
 

Can anyone point me to a good diagram ( or picture - I seem to recall Tom Wesenberg posted one ) of rear brake spring positions and pin orientation for rear service and emergency brakes .

I assume you are looking for the location of the brake springs inside the rear hubs. Attached are 2 Ford drawings one shows the emergency brake assembly and springs while the other shows the service brake assembly and springs.

Thanks Bruceincam and Frank55a. I always need a pic when reassembling brakes! - never remember which hole the springs go in, or which way for the pins .....pictures now clearly show them.
Service brake all pins have heads on the inside ( cotters on the outside)
Emergency brake all heads on the outside ( cotters on the inside ). Thank you

I have found it helpful to take a picture with my phone camera before I disassemble, then if I get stuck putting together I have a reference photo.

I try to take pictures also, hopefully the last person put things together correctly! if not then your back to square one, then that’s when Bratton’s pictures are much appreciated!

You should not have to have an account to view the catalog. But if you can't, you can download their catalog here https://www.brattons.com/CURRENT-CAT...roductinfo/10/

There is a lot of usful info in Bratton's catalog, for example bolts sizes and threads, exploded diagrams of assemblies, torque specs.
