e-Brake lever postion.
« on: May 16, 2011, 10:17:33 AM »
This is prolly a silly question. For a 67 bus.. Anyone have an idea which side of the brake shoe the eBrake lever is supposed to go on?  Inside or outside of the shoe?

I took the rear brakes apart a couple of months ago,while I was removing the transmission for some spruce up work.  Yesterday I was putting the shoes back on I can't remember if the eBrake lever goes behind or on the front of the shoe.  

The Bentley book shows the lever on the outside.  But when I took the brakes off they were on the back side of the shoe.   I was having trouble putting things back together, so I stopped.  I still have a couple of days before the Arlo walk. Thank for any help.

To my knowledge, it's in front; check for interference when done.

Thanks Jon...

I found a photo on the samba someone had posted with the lever on the outside.   Someone put mine together wrong years ago. I usually put it back together the same way I found it.   That explains a couple of things...
