2009 Silverado Rear Brake question

[flyboyron]

I found that the self adjusters on the rear brakes were froze solid. I got them working again and went to put it back together and am concerned about the D-ring in the picture I have attached.

The ring spins around the shaft it is on, I left it so the flat part is facing down.
Is this correct?

The part is number 14 on this picture.

Seriously, spend last than $20 and get new adjusters, springs, etc.  They wear out from use and heat cycling...

 

 

er... "less than"

Hey Flyboy, I found your answer.

The D-ring has an extrusion that fits into the notch of the adjuster end.

Those extrusions are on the opposite side of the flat side so when installing, the flat surface would face the backing plate.

That should solve your problem

I am attaching a picture of how it is installed.
