Replacing Ranger Rear Brakes

Replacing Ranger Rear Brakes
I just replaced my rear brakes today, and thought I would post some photos, showing how the hardware should
be assembled. These were taken on the passenger's side, but the front-to-back is the same on the driver's side.
I've seen several post by people on how to get their rear brakes back together, hopefully these photos will help.
The self-adjuster has the most parts, one thing to look out for, the threaded portion of the adjuster faces the front
brake shoe on both driver's and passenger's sides:
And last, but important, especially if you live where the salt the roads, put anti-seize grease on the center hub. More important
if you have aluminum alloy wheels:

tsk tsk!!!
you should have used high temperature brake caliper grease not lithium
and you forgot to lube the slack adjuster engagement cable on the curve plate
always always clean out and lube both ends of the slack adjuster, including the threads
i have done numerous rear drum jobs ,, only to find out the slack adjuster was seized solid
( and they wonder why their parking brake never works )

I know this thread is old, but it sure has a lot of good pictures!!! Thanks to the original poster!! Okay, so he didn't replace the hardware.... not the end of the world... besides the springs still looked very good... not like mine... YIKES! One of them was actually broken.... That's where my noise came from!! I replaced the whole enchilada... shoes, hardware and drums!! The truck owes me nothing and has always been dependable, so figured it was worth it!!

Im having an issue with getting a drum off the drivers side of my 2007 ranger(10" drum). It seems that the drum has some grooving in it, so it wouldnt come off very easily. I was spinning the threaded adjuster from the back/inside in the upward position(hopefully thats right), and im still not able to get it off. If i spun it too far, would it cause the top of the shoes to extend outwards and lock the drum in place still?
sorry, im fairly new to doing rear drum brakes.
