Star wheel brake adjuster, which side is which?
First off the drum brakes are temporary just working with what I got for now. I pulled the rear drum brakes apart on my Chevelle 12 bolt and found quite a few things that the previous owner didn't do the best job at. I am pretty sure he has the star wheel brake adjusters on the wrong sides. Does the left hand threaded adjuster go on the driver or passenger side? Thanks in advance

I would but it's a Chevelle rear end in a G-body. I don't need a Chevelle manual. I checked the factory G-body manual and others that I have and oddly enough it does not say

This video breaks down reassembly in detail: https://youtu.be/OIr04e1rkoA
I don't remember off the top of my head which side is left hand thread, but they are color coded (explained in the video). It's also easy enough to figure out - when the L shaped adjuster plate comes down and rotates the star wheel, the shoes must expand.- Ryan
