[Vwdiesel] Vwdiesel Digest, Vol 152, Issue 2

[Doug Boes]

I'm ready to put the rear brakes back together, the rain has finally stopped! Is there any list/procedure for what order to install the springs to get the least resistance? It looks like the e-brake cable has to be attached first followed by the push bar. Does the tensioning spring need to be installed prior to attaching the shoes to the backing plate with the hold down springs. It looks like the up ever gets installed before the lower return spring and the adjusting wedge and spring get installed last. Correct?
