Diagram of rear brake springs and pin orientation?

[johnbuckley]

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 .

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.

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!
