Finally got around to assembling my rear drums. Without any detailed photos to reference, I have to assume that I followed my service manual's directions correctly. It got too cold and dark to actually adjust them, so I put the old drums back on for now. Sometimes later I'll have to finish installing brake lines to the wheel cylinders, put on the new drums, and get everything adjusted properly.

If you see something wrong in my photos, please let me know. This is my first time doing a full assembly of drum brakes. The pictures are showing the passenger side drum assembly.

Part numbers:

Rear Drums - ND 4401202 (12" x 2.5" / Lug holes are meant for 9/16" lug studs)
Self-Adjusting Hardware - Carlson H2555/H2554
Drum Hardware - Raybestos H7128
Wheel Cylinders - Centric 13462016/13462015
Brake Shoes - Raybestos 127PG (Semi-metallic pads)

And a note. The golden bracket you see in the photo is not replaceable. Earlier in this thread I mentioned how it was missing. I was able to track one down (Dorman HW2553) and then I had it copied and mirrored by a precision metal shop. It wasn't cheap to do. Don't throw them out!
