Looking at the left rear brake shoes on my 1955 Ford....The Secondary Shoe (small lining) is towards the front and the Primary Shoe (large lining) is towards the rear. This doesn't look right to me....I think the previous owner put them on backwards. Doesn't the Primary Shoe (large lining) always go towards the front?   All input appreciated!!!!!!   Ron

That is correct-small shoe on the front.
