Rusty is correct, maybe the misunderstanding is in the terminology? "Faces and facing" can be confusing that's why "Primary and Secondary" shoes and "Rear and Front" are used in the manuals? The
primary shoe always goes to the rear! That's the shoe with the long lining. Short lining shoes are secondary and go on the front, regardless of left or right sides. The self adjusting levers are located on the primary shoes as well with the strut engaging the front secondary shoe. Heres a pic with some instruction,

except the shoes, simply swap positions of the shoes in your pic and your golden...One fix at a time because my RAM (random access memory) has gone from megabytes to minibytes in my sixty somethin years of breathing asbestos and lead...Good luck! ~Ghostrider~
