David Sparkes Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The brake anchor plates have different part numbers, Left 246565 and Right 246566. Recognising which is which is a bit more difficult!! Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mate, think I got the drivers side right from those numbers pic 1 but not sure about passenger side pic 2. adjusters work on drivers side but not on passenger.

steve b Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The set up is designed so that the top adjuster goes towards the front on the spanner to tighten the shoes - your first picture suggests you have the NS on the OS Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to find pics of both sides to copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 You have the back plates on the correct sides, but one side has the adjusters on back to front - if you look at the photo with both plates side by side, you’ll see all the adjusters look the same, but one plate should have them curl one way, and the other plate have them curl the opposite way, so the curls are symmetrical one each side of the vehicle, not just the positions of the adjusters. Whichever side they’re not engaging is the side you need to flip the cam plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
