Brake reassembly order

[A110235]

Hey everyone.  I am about to reassemble my rear drum brakes and i have a question about the order the pieces are supposed to go on the upper post of the backing plate.  When I took them apart both sides were different.  Looking at the pic, does it start with the copper washer and then go down in order from first to last?  Or does this even really matter?

the spring washer goes on the park brake lever & will not fit up top at all , , the upper plate goes on first , the park cable second & the springs last .

Ok, thanks Neil!  I guess whoever redid the brakes last time went freestyle and put a washer up on the post.  I compared the old one with the new spring washer and it isn't the same size.  I just saw the spring washer in the new pack and figured that is what it was.

Like Neil says, the spring washer goes over the stud on the emergency lever and the shoe goes over that with either a E-clip or a horseshoe clip to hold the whole contraption together. A dab of Lubriplate on the rubbing surfaces goes a long way, too. Just a dab, to keep it off the shoes. Lube the guide where the cable runs on it as well and don't forget the shoe contact points on the backing plates.
