While troubleshooting the front brakes (pulling to one side) on a friends hydraulic brake equipped Model A I noticed the brake shoes, as installed, had the bigger shoe (the one with the most lining) on the front side. I remember being taught that the bigger, or primary shoe, should be on the rear side. Can't seem to find anything in my manuals to support this. Would appreciate any wisdom or comments. THANK YOU.
