[TR] Replacing rear brake cyls.

[Bob Danielson]

I just checked the Haynes manual which is useless........basically says to
remove the plates and installation is in the reverse order. So I checked the
"TR6 Repair Operations Manual" that I have in PDF format and that says to do
it in the same order as in the Buckeye article. Did something change from
the TR3 to the TR6? All I care about is that my rear brakes are properly
installed.

I don't think you are missing anything ... this is one of the rare cases
where I disagree with Nelson as well.  Here's the text from the TR3 factory
manual, that I believe is correct :

(b) Refitting the Rear Wheel Cylinder

Mount the wheel cylinder on to the
backplate with the neck through the
large slot. Replace the distance piece
between cylinder neck and backplate,
with the open end away from handbrake
lever location. The two cranked
lips must also be away from the
backplate.

Insert the spring plate between the
distance piece and backplate, also with
open end away from handbrake lever
location and the two cranked lips away
from the backplate.

Replace handbrake lever. Locate the
retaining plate between the distance
piece and spring plate (open end
towards the handbrake lever), tap into
position until the two cranked tips of
the spring plate locate in the retaining plate.

Fit the rubber dust cover. Attach the
pressure pipe union to the cylinder
and connection to the handbrake lever.
Replace the shoes, brake drum, and
bleed the system. Finally re-fit wheels,
