Having a devil of a time removing the rear drum brakes on my 2001 xlt.

Seems like the previous owner never did rear brakes... there's a NICE lip on the inside of the drum,..arg!

On top of that I pulled the right driver rear drum off and the damn wheel cylinder does NOT have the two little forks that go into the cylinder to push that bar to spread the brake pads apart.... I've looked everywhere and can't seem to source where to get them?

Any one know where these can be picked up? I just replaced the rear cylinder and these were NOT in the box, nor are they in any of the rebuild spring/parts kits I have....

attached a picture. the two things on the cylinder that are shaped like a fork.

Thanks,

Junkyard.

 

After really looking at it, it appears my setup doesn't use the those fork pins... just took the other side off and they weren't there and the brake shoes don't have the slots like the how to in thread on the forum...

got over worked for nothing..lol

wish there was a jy around me though.
