Default rear brakes

I needed new rear brakes on my '96 SE so off to Napa I went. The guy at the counter asked the normal make, model, year, engine, and then 9" or 10"? I didn't know offhand, but asked him if it mentioned ABS vs non-ABS, and he said no. After looking at both I thought the 9" were the correct ones, so bought 'em and the replacement spring and hardware kit.

I started last evening and an managed to get the RR disassembled and then was interrupted by (2) thunderstorms and ran out of light (in my driveway). 9" was correct, but in my hurry to disassemble, I neglected to take pictures. Needless to say, I forgot exactly how it came apart. My Haynes manual was helpful, but not nearly so as the writeup here on CF.

After reading this I took another look and realized that the shoes were not identical and there were front and rears. CF saved my bacon again!

When I do brakes I only do one side at a time so I can use the other side as a reference if I'm not sure about something.
