Just to clarify, because in some applications there is a large shoe, small shoe bias, front to rear, the drum type brakes usually assemble as mirror images of each other, that is what causes the adjuster to turn in opposite directions, depending upon the side.
...now if I could just remember if the bigger shoe goes in front or in the rear...ha! ha!
