Rear shoe springs

Hello, I'm rebuilding the rear drum brakes on my 1969 Rambler wagon. On the bottom of the shoe there are two holes. One large and one smaller. The spring that holds the bottom of the shoes together and attaches to the adjuster arm, does it attach through the small hole like this:


Or the big hole like this:



The small hole seems to be right, less likely for the spring to pull through and the adjuster seems to work better there. Any clue?? (Sorry for the crooked pictures)

All of the service manuals have pretty good pictures of the brake assemblies.   I usually have a service manual open somewhere near me when I am doing brakes because I don't do them every day.   Use the book.  Joe

Ah, just noticed how compressed that spring is when on the wee hole. That when looked at, is not good, there should be some stretch with the coils not so close when installed. So just a noticable condition when checking your spring installation.

I had been looking at the wee spring behind the one you had questioned about, thinking you zoomed in on the second shot, as the section seemed tight in view.

Cell phone pictures are priceless. Take pics of this stuff before you take it apart, and when you get ready to put it back together you'll have them to refer to.
