Message: [QUOTE="cowboy_dan, post: 90531, member: 258"] One thing you HAVE to make sure of is that you get the front shoe on the front, and the rear shoe on the rear. The friction material on one shoe will be longer than the other for each side. I can never remember which is the front, so make sure you check against the existing shoes when you pull them off. If you get them backwards, it's like driving with the parking brake on. When I do drums, I like to get both drums off and lay them directly under the backing plate. They're handy for holding things like screwdrivers or spring tools. Then lay out one pair of shoes, a set of new springs, and your tools (pliers, vice-grips, and sweet iced tea). Now sit down and slowly remove the springs. If you take a spring off the right (as you're sitting down) of the assembly, put it on a tray or on the floor to your right. If you take a spring off the left side of the assembly, lay it to your left. Same with the shoes. That way when you go to put everything back together, you know instantly which side of the assembly something goes on. Then if you have any questions, you can also look at the other side. [/QUOTE]
