Here are a few shots from a 2011 Silverado. It had a diff oil leak so it’s a bit dirty. In the upper left is that pesky L bracket GM was using. The drums are a store brand from Lordco Auto Parts, who are big in British Columbia. I’ll see how they weather the salt brine. Also, I slathered anti-seize on the inside corner of the hub prior to mounting the drum. You can just make out a ring of it where it attaches to the drum. I pretty much had to pull the shoes all the way in with the star adjuster just to get the drum on. Next time I would order shoes that have a E brake arm already attached to one of the brake shoes. It was a real PITA to pull the C clip to get the arm off the existing shoe and reattach it to the new shoe. Also I would buy new spring hardware. The best tool to do the work? A pair of pointy nose vise grips. Enjoy.
