Kev,

Agree completely with the primary and secondary springs. The part of the job that always turns the air blue around me is trying to hold everything in place while trying to get the first spring or two on, like on the retaining pins.

Break text. While surfing through the forum today I came across a reference to setting the anchor pin eccentric properly on reassembly. What is the proper orientation for this eccentric? I tried to adjust the brakes using the major adjustment in the service manual, but couldn't get 0.010 at both ends of the secondary shoe without binding the drum on a different portion of the shoe, so I just got the clearance the same at both ends with the drum not dragging.
