You have gotten some tremendous help from a lot of experienced/great guys. The only thing I can add here is from my "personal" experience and hardship: Note V8Coopmans very first picture in his first post and the one thing that is right on both rear's pictures you posted and that is the installation of the pin and horseshoe clip on the rear most shoe that holds the EBrake arm. Note that the "Pin" installs from the "inner side" (nearest the backing plate) of the shoe and the horseshoe clip on the outer (drum side) of the shoe. It makes the installation/connecting of the spring Wwaaayy easier that way. NOTE "My" photo and ask me how I know!!!! ALSO the lower adjuster/eccentric washers can be finicky sometimes and not fully seat on the studs so also make sure and loosen the nut and spin the studs and make sure the lower half of the shoes move like they should before slipping the drums back on.
