Rear brake spring placement?
 
http://www.oilburners.net/attachment...329-jpg.69710/I'm doing a 10.25 swap in my 86. It had a 10.25 originally but the pinion seal was leaking and instead of fixing I chose to get a newer version of the sterling with the longer splined pinion. I have the axle mounted (and didn't have to shorten the drive line) and when I took off the brakes at the beginning of the switch I forgot to take a picture of how the springs were. The pictures are of what I have done so far. There are some springs left over, one of the shoe hold down springs and two of the purple springs that resemble the blue spring I have on the bottom. Did I get the adjuster right? Also what are the silver u's for, the new parts came with 2.https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...815d0164f7.jpgLeft over parts, one shoe gold down spring and two purple springs.

I've never done brakes on a sterling, but it looks to me like you're missing a spring on the adjuster assembly?

I'll leave it for someone else to confirm or deny but from the drum brakes I've done usually there is a spring maybe in that little slot to the left of the L in the picture with the adjuster on it?

EDIT: I see it in the picture above it now, nevermind!

I have had kits accidentally come with extra springs before so idk.

Thanks chillman88. I guess all I needed was piece of mind. On another forum someone posted a diagram for the brakes.https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...2cf9da3f7d.jpg
