Trying to assemble rear brake shoes after somebody removed everything.I can't find any good info on reassembling. Closest thing I can get doesn't show a small spring, I'm assuming goes on bottom somewhere and just shows 1 return spring on top. Mine has 2 return springs. Anybody have any video/picture/diagram showing this 2 return spring setup so I can get this rear drum back on. Please?

Adjusters may be different will be left hand screw for right brake and rh screw for lh side. Front brake shoe is smaller than rear on both designs there are two different designs pics are of both.

Thanks for answer and images.I don't see the small spring I'm talking about though, unless it is the one shown in left image between the shoe on the left and adjuster cable. If that isn't a return spring, and 'is' the spring that I'm talking about, where does it mount.

I'm not sure what small spring you are talking about if it's not in the pic it may not even be for your truck. Your best bet is to go to an auto parts and get the correct hardware kit and install that. It should include the springs and pieces for both sides and will have a better picture as the one I have isn't to detailed. You also have to know what you have as far as set up instead of just guessing as there are two different models of this system.
