Probably designed and manufactured by someone else, that why they have lasted 13 years! |

The springs are supposed to be one behind, and one in front. This will give the shoes a neutral bias (won't want to ping outwards or inwards), so the hold down pins aren't taking excessive pressure from the shoes.

Usually the springs are behind the shoes completely, so the shoes pull towards the back plates, the shoes are designed to ride against small bumps/bulges on the back plate.

That's correct for normal brake shoes, but no for the Freel2 parking brake. The cable expander end has the spring behind the shoe, the adjuster end has the spring on front. Just like this. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

Never liked the drum in disc rear brake set up, glad to find the last cars had disc hand brake although I could do without the electric lever operation. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I used a screwdriver pushed in from the back plate to wedge and hold the guide pin.
