This document is a labeled exploded/assembled-view line drawing of a rear drum brake assembly, uploaded as part of a service reference set for a 1978 Ford Bronco. The illustration shows the rear brake assembly as viewed with the drum removed, with callout labels identifying each major component: the parking brake link and parking brake link spring across the top, the parking lever pivot point, the secondary shoe and lining assembly on one side and the primary shoe and lining assembly on the other, the automatic adjuster spring at the bottom, the parking brake cable, the pivot hook, and the parking brake lever. An arrow marked 'FORWARD' indicates the orientation of the assembly relative to vehicle direction, which helps a mechanic determine which shoe is primary (forward-facing) and which is secondary. The drawing contains no part numbers, torque specifications, year/model statements, or procedural text — it serves purely as a component-identification diagram useful when disassembling, inspecting, or reassembling rear drum brakes and the integrated parking brake hardware.
