<VV> brake shoe length location

[jlstuk at juno.com]

Corvairs use a duo-servo brake system.  In this system the short lining faces the front of the car while the longer lining faces the rear on each wheel.  On Corvairs the narrow linings go on the front axle and the wider linings go on the rear axle. Do one wheel at a time so you have something to look at if you're not sure.  Careful with the adjusters.  These are easy to mess up.  If you have automatic adjusters these are mounted on the long lining.  The spring that holds the linings together at the bottom does not rub on the star wheel.  Jim
