Glad you got it back together... Mitch.. I do it separately so I can check my shoe alignment with my gauge with the rear axle housing race before I mount the e-brake... if I have to do something to adjust it is much easier without the e-brake carrier and lever already in place. Just my process of assembly and test before I button it up. Have done lots of brake jobs over the years and just fine this is what works best for me. Don't mind learning shortcuts or better methods.

Here's one for you generator users... Ever need to get the fan belt off but don't want to mess with your generator bolt.... remove the front generator pulley bolt and using the same wrench between the generator and the pulley give it a slight nudge off and the pulley and belt come loose. Installing is easy back on.. just make sure the generator pulley bolt is good and snug back on.
