I'm having trouble getting the emergency brake lever in and working with my drum brakes. any pics on the Correct assembly. The lever dose not seem to clear the spring holding the brake shoe. Witch side of the lever dose the e brake spring go on? I have pics of the brake assembled but dose not show lever.

I thought someone would be able to give me some help here.

I'd take a stab at it if I knew what was up. Please refer to the picture, and I'll see what I can do

I found this. I have been running a chevy 12 bolt since ’81, so it’s been a long time since I eyeballed a Pontiac rear.

If it helps

Pontiac and chevy used the same brake set up.

I have this one if it will help.
