Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Rear Brake Diagram

[GOODE11]

Hey guys, do any of you have a rear brake diagram or pic?

I pulled the drums to check the rear brakes for the first time and the two sides look completely different from each other. They should be mirror images of each other shouldn't they?

My Haynes manual doesn't show a good diagram at all.



Thanks

invest in a real service manual. i believe there are many pics there.

I was hoping to see if anyone had a pic. Ordering the correct manual at this moment will leave my truck on jack stands more than it needs to be. I will have a "real" manual from my brother tonight. Just thought maybe I could get a quick response and slap it together this afternoon and not wait until 7pm when he gets off.



Thanks for the response--

rear brakes

I had a tire shop install new linings and the so called technition got the left side on wrong , that is the primary and sedcondary were reversed. whats confusing is that the emergency brake cable is routed different on the left side and if you try to match them you end up like mine. the shoe that was reversed wore out in about 60k miles and the other lining was good for about another 200k or so.
