Having trouble with my rear brakes, this particular one has been binding. Black solid took the drum off eventually and found that the cylinder fully extended out but also noticed that the spring highlighted in the picture is that the wrong way round and will it cause a problem being that way round, as I believe both springs are the same for left and right, some help needed.
don’t seem to be able to upload the photo. The spring in question is the one that goes on to the adjuster does it go on the outside or on the inside?
does anyone know why I can’t upload a photos strange

Re: Rear brake spring
Thanks Maxstu for the video link. Have bought lots of parts from Brickwerks over the years but didn't know they did videos too!
Also make sure the adjuster levers are on the right way round as I'm sure I've seen that mentioned causing issues before. By that I mean the fork with the longer arm and a shorter arm. The long bit goes to the back if you want it working properly.
