Does anybody have a picture or drawing of the parking brake assembly at the wheel? I am repairing a 73 for my friend and when I removed the rear disc the 2 broken springs fell out.

Thanks

I don't have a picture on hand of the assembly, but there might be one in either the Chilton's or Haynes repair manuals. I don't know if the A.I.M. explodes that assembly well enough to be of any help either, but it would be worth a look to see.

Having rebuilt them last year I can tell you that the parking brake setup is just like most other rear drum brakes, but just a little harder to put back together.
