Title: Small washer from rear drums... where does it go?
Post by: Bird of Prey on August 19, 2016, 01:26:09 PM
While removing the rear brake shoes a small washer came out and fell on the floor.  Where does this washer go when I put everything back together?  Basic info about my car:  1984 Thunderbird with 7.5" rear axle and 9" rear drum brakes.

Thanks in advance!

The only washer I can think of off hand, is the one on the self adjuster.  Is it flat?  Pictures?

That's what I was thinking too.  Yes, it is flat and came off while removing the shoes.  At that point the self adjuster just fell on the floor too so I didn't catch where the washer came from.
