60FlatTop Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The shortest brake shoe is the primary and always goes to the front.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trp3141592 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hi,On a Bendix brake system (Star wheel adjuster at the bottom) the short shoe goes to the front. On a Lockheed-Wagner system on many non-GM cars (solid pivot at the bottom), the long shoe goes to the front.--Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
