-
Be careful with this part, as the brake shoes are under load. It took me a couple of tries (and different methods) to accomplish this properly.
-
Carefully spread apart the round side of the brake shoes and place them through the round bolt on the brake drum assembly.
-
Then, spread apart the flat side of the brake shoes and place them through the flat bolt on the brake drum assembly.
-
The shoes should now be sitting as shown.

Step 13
¶
-
Replace and tighten the 22 mm lug nut with a ratcheting socket wrench.
-
Use a hammer and pair of vise grips to slide the wheel retaining pin back into place.
-
Follow the directions in step 2 in reverse order to reattach the brake cable.
-
Adjust the brake cable adjustment nut as necessary. The rear brake lever should be about 0.8" to 1.0" away from the handlebar when fully engaged.
