I wish Nick well in his journey through the brake shoes. having recently changed those on the front I have 'fond' memories of shoe retaining springs!
A question I have pondered on when setting up after replacement 'where does the auto adjusting lever go' - away from the axle or towards it.
A plea to those who know.
Thanks
 
Hi Rob

I cannot find an image anywhere of the self-adjusting brake mechanism for the front brakes. However, you can view the rear Bendix brakes set up on this website and home in on the mechanism as it is similar.

Auto adjuster lever going towards the axle -> shoes set closer to the drum.
