I know you're never supposed to disassemble both drums at the same time but this was a junkyard axle, didn't have much choice. Anyway, I'm rebuilding the drums with brand new parts but I can't figure out what these are for? Please help.

Pop your year make and modle into google and see if you can find a pic of what they look like complete. Then look for a write up because if there is anything that looks like that it'll tell you where it goes

I did all the searching and found explanations and none of the procedures addressed these little parts, but none specifically omitted them either. Just want to be sure. Thanks!

Thanks! I found a youtube video of a Ford Windstar brake replacement. These are used to secure the e-brake lever to the shoe. They're not used on the chry 8.25 because instead of a straight post the e-brake lever has a bent tab that slides into the shoe. They're useless to me. Learn something new everyday. Thanks everyone!

Those wave washers are #8.
Part #10 gets crimped into the groove of the pin on the lever #7.
