The shoe with the least lining always goes in front, the one with the most always goes in back and some budget lining came with two different compositions that were marked primary and secondary. kind of like a tan lining and a gray lining.
Well, as maybe suspected .... both primary shoes were on one side, and both secondary on the other. Landing pads are pretty groovy and the contamination from the rear was a bit worse than initially observed.
New seals and shoes on the wayyyyyyyy.

Now the return springs ... pri and sec look identical, same color (blue), same wire gauge and all. Were they the same on these models ? I saw no mention in the shop manual of them being different.
Thanks again.
