Rear shoes on correctly?
I think this is right but I'll defer to the experts. These are the Napa shoes for a 510 (TS359A). Thanks!

I believe the rule is: The towards the front of the car is always the smallest...the trailing shoe is the one towards the rear of the car and always has the most material on it..

Re: Rear shoes on correctly?
Thanks Ray,
I've also heard that rule of thumb but all the shoes appear to have the same surface area (LxW), which was partially why I was unsure about the fitment. However, it seems like I might have a different (related?) issue because the drum won't rotate on the driver side when I put it on there. Without it, the axle is able to rotate freely so maybe I need to get the drum turned? The brake shoe adapter is fully contracted so I'm not sure what else could be causing that amount of friction to the system.
Update - quick wire wheel to the rust took care of it. Drums now rotate freely.
