With all due respect, the Danielson method is doing it the hard way. The
three pieces are orientated properly in the photos, but the order of
assembly should be:
1. Insert the long piece, with the locking tabs up, from the brake lever
side.
2. Insert the shortest piece, also from the brake lever side
3. Insert the brake lever
4. Insert the remaining long piece between the first two pieces from the
side opposite the brake lever until the tabs from the bottom piece lock in
place. You'll have to tap it home with a light hammer and a punch or screw
driver.
5. Install the dust cover. It does NOT go between the 1st plate and the
backing plate, but fits the periphery of the 3 plate assembly. If it was
placed under the first plate, it would prevent the assembly from sliding
along the backing plate easily.

And, yes, rubber grease, Girling green or equivalent, should be used
throughout, especially between the brake cylinder and the backing plate.
