1985 Ford Bronco V8 Four Wheel Drive Manual

I can't remember which brake shoe is the leading shoe and which is the trailing shoe. I keep getting conflicting answers from parts stores. One shoe has more pad than the other and I can't remember which one goes in front

The easiest way to find out which brake shoe is leading is to do your brakes one side at a time and look at other rear brake assembly and use it as a guide before disassembling both sides.
