I am putting my brake together and having trouble figuring out where the outside pivot cup goes. From the pictures I can't tell if the cup goes on the brake shoe first then the pin,
or does the pin fit inside the cup then on to the brake shoe. If I put the two cups on and then the pivot pin there doesn't seem to be enough length on the pivot pin to put in the cotter pin. But when I put the pivot pin inside the cup I have enough length.
Could anyone please clarify this for me.
Thank you very much
Eric
