Here goes again . The anchor bolt isn't as wide as the original anchor bolt. The sliding pin that goes through the anchor bolt is longer than the anchor bolt is wile . this allows the pin to slide , side to side .The slot in the lower wedge contacts the sliding pin rather than the anchor bolt . The sliding pin allows the wedge to center as it moves downward . this gives side to side centering of the lower part of the brake shoes .
