Brake Drum: Description and Operation

The rear brakes are drum-type with internal shoes that expand against the brake drum when the brakes are applied. The rear drum brakes are of the 
single-anchor type, mounted to the same anchor, and  actuated by one rear wheel cylinder. The  wheel cylinder has two pistons. One piston exerts  force
against the upper end of the primary shoe; the  other against the upper end of the secondary shoe.
