Where can I find a diagram of rear drum brake assembly for a 1997 E350 turbo diesel van?

Answer 1

The best place is www.autozone.com. Select the year / make / model of your van and then click "repair info". Click brakes. Click rear drum brakes. Scroll down to heavy duty.

Autozone uses an abbreviated version of alldata online. They are frequently too stupid to provide all diagrams you need even though they have them under different simlar vehicles.

For instance, on my 1991 E-350, the pictures they have for the rear drums ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!!!

However, when I looked up the same info under a 1991 F-350, they had a real nice diagram.

(E-350 and F-350 use VERY similar brakes -- the F series bolt the parking brake cable down while the E series pass it through a metal loop. Other then that, their identical!)

So, if the diagram you need is not displayed, look under a similar vehicle.

Hope this helps! -- Since everybody else out there is just to retarded to even think about having a diagram of the heavy duty Ford brakes WHICH ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE GENERIC DRUMS FOUND ON MOST CARS!!
