Drum brake part # questions
Hello! I just bought a 1999 Ford Ranger 4x2, 5spd, 2.5 4cyl. I bought it cheap knowing that it needed entirely new rear 9" drum brakes. I just didn't know how bad they really were. After I pulled the driver side wheel off I discovered that the drum had actually separated into two pieces. The inside piece was stuck on the shoes and the outside piece was spinning with the wheel studs.
I pulled the passenger side wheel and saw that while the drum was still in one piece, it was loose on the studs, which I wasn't expecting. I pulled it off and a pile of mangled, rusted parts just fell out on the ground. It looks like something came loose in there while the truck was moving and it all just got ground up like hamburger.
Not a single one of the four shoes has any friction material at all left on it. These are absolutely the worst brakes I've ever seen.
Anyway... I can find most of the parts to put these back together. However, I can't seem to find the passenger side parking brake actuating lever piece that sits inside the drum or the little plate that slides onto the wheel cylinder and covers the ends of the shoes. The springs hook to the stud that it goes on. I can probably make this if I have to, I can use the other side as a pattern. The other piece, I have to find.
So, can anyone point me towards a parts diagram where I could find oem part numbers for these parts? I'm pretty sure they aren't av available at any of the usual parts places. The dealer probably no longer stocks them either, but a part number would sure help me search for them. Google wasn't much help looking for diagrams, I could find the 10" drum diagrams, but not the 9".
Thank you all for any assistance!
