Umm, I think I may have completely missed something on my rear brakes. I reassembled them exactly how they appeared when I took the drums off. But I'm looking carefully at pictures of other people's rear brakes it looks like my parking brake arms are completely wrong.
See the picture below. The parking brake arms were on the outside of the brake shoe when I opened the rears up, and that's how I put them back together. Other cars show the parking brake lever assembled on the inside of the brake shoe....see BigKev's pictures here: https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=57&post_id=19369#forumpost19369
The hold down spring is possibly keeping the parking brake lever from sitting all the way back. Behind the shoe there is only the hold down pin, allowing the lever more room to move back.
Am I correct on this?
