help installing a rear brake shoe on a '60 corvette!?

[Chris D]

I'm redoing a '60 corvette and I'm looking for an assembly manual or exploded view of one to help me while i install the rear brake shoe as i don't understand it fully understand the installation

I believe your rear drum brakes are very similar to later model GM drum brakes, so a repair manual for say a 70's model Camaro would have the same info you need .

If I were you, I would buy a detailed shop manual from a corvette restoration parts shop. You are likely to run into other parts of this resto that will cause questions.

Here's a link on how to install brake shoes.

it's not exactly your car but it is the basic rear brake for that era of chevy, mine has pictures too
