96 Golf GL 65K miles and I'm replacing rear shoes on drum brakes. Have
Bentley 93-97 manual but illustrations and instructions for this task are
vague and incomplete. For example manual says to replace upper return spring
but no illustration or text clearly shows connection points to shoes.
Similar for lower return spring. Where can I find clearer instructions? BTW
this is first replacement and shoes were barely worn however pad on one shoe
was cracked.
