Hello dear reader

I need help in rebuilding my rear drum brakes (type see picture) on a 1988 model. I'm got lost which star wheel goes to which side of the car. Left-handed thread driver or passenger side?

I tried searching but got no usefull results.

Thank you for your help.

 

Interesting.
2 things I noticed in your pic, 1 good & 2 bad:
1) good you got the smaller primary shoe in front
2) bad the star adjuster lock lever is not engaging the star wheel. This may be a key to your solution?
3) bad that the parking brake lever is not protruding through the top left hole on the primary (left) shoe.

 

Thanks for your quick answer.

Sorry, I should have mentioned: I pulled the pic from google just for reference. These are not my actual brakes. I just need to be sure if the star wheel I built in is on the correct side with this type of brake.

 

The star wheels should be positioned such that as the adjusting lever moves downward, the threads screw outward. (lengthen)

 

Thanks for your help! Than I built them in correctly. Have a nice weekend!
