D'oh! So I'm putting the brake back together so I won't lose any parts and it is not working. Where did that pin go on top to hold the springs? Why isn't the star wheel lining up with the access hole? Why aren't the pads going back far enough to connect with the wheel cylinder arms?
The answer is....I put the backing plate on inside out!
Took it all apart and turned it around (there's that pin!). Tightened the bolts up. Put the shoes and springs back in with the spring clamp on the retaining pins.
Next I greased the wheel bearings and put the drum back on. Put the outer wheel bearing in and washer. Tightened the castle type nut to tight and then backed it off to the first slot where a cotter pin could be inserted. Lastly, the grease cap went on.
