Morning to all.
I reviewed my MM and parts book. As we know there is a primary and secondary brake shoe. One has more friction material than the other. I forget at the moment which one is called the Primary.
The first drawing with the exploded view in the MM appears to show the shoe with more material on the left side when looking at it (presumably toward the front of the coach) with the other shoe, with less material toward the rear of the coach. Is that the correct placement for the shoes?
Ive see a few other photos and it appears the reverse. The parts book, while a drawing not a photo appears to show the shoe with more material toward the front of the coach as well.
Just wondering before I put it all back together. I have to believe it makes a difference otherwise all the shoes would be identical.
