I am doing a rear brake job and the po has the short pad to the front on one side and to the rear on the other side. Which is correct? Which shoe goes toward the front, long or short pad? Thanks.

thanks for the fast response. Is it the same for the front brakes? Does the short pad still go toward the front?
