SOURCE: Rear Drum Brake Install

Removal & Installation

  1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
  3. Remove the drum retaining nuts, if equipped, and remove the brake drum.
If the drum will not come off, pry the rubber plug from the backing plate. Insert a narrow rod through the hole in the backing plate and disengage the adjusting lever from the adjusting screw. While holding the adjustment lever away from the screw, back off the adjusting screw with a brake adjusting tool. Be careful not damage the notches in the adjusting screw or the self-adjusting mechanism will not function properly.
  1. Inspect the brake drum for scoring and wear. Replace or machine as necessary. If machining, observe the maximum diameter specification.
To install:
  1. If a new drum is being installed, remove the protective coating from the drum using brake cleaner. Sand the drum lightly and wipe with a cloth soaked in denatured alcohol.
  2. Adjust the brake shoes according to the procedure in this Section.
  3. Install the brake drum and the wheel and tire assembly.
  4. Lower the vehicle.

The 2 links are diagrams for shoe placement and the automatic brake adjuster.
Be sure to have the drums turned before installing the brake shoes.

Hope this answers your question. Best of luck on your repair.

SOURCE: where doe's that spring go on rear brake drums 1996 chevy truck every thing is at top not at bottom, star wheel adjuster?

there should be several springs. first there are (2) real short springs that hold the shoes to the dust cover/back plate. they go in the center of each shoe. then there is a short spring that goes at the bottom where the adjuster is located. there should be a hole in each shoe. finally there is a long spring that goes at the top where your brake cylinder is and this is what gets attched last after your emergancy brake levers are placed between the shoes .

Where can I find a step-by-step diagram for where the springs go on a 95 ranger brake drum?

Drum brakes are actually fairly simple, if you don't get too far ahead of yourself. If you haven't pulled both rear brakes apart, you can remove the drum from the other rear wheel and look at the installation of that wheel's spring and such. The only difference is that the other side is installed as a mirror image, so you have to mentally reverse everything for the side you are doing.
