I got some E-brake shoes from Napa but as seen in this picture, they are missing the small cylinder piece that the adjuster fits into, and therefore I do not think they will work. Do you guys think they gave me the wrong ones? Other than the cylinder piece they look very similar. I did read on here that those e-brake shoes are only available at a dealer? Or a shop can re-shoe the old ones?
Also, is there a how-to anywhere for replacing the e-brake shoes?

You need a new adjuster. One with two Y shaped ends to fit into the OEM position. All aftermarket ones (that I've seen) are Y shaped.

Yes you are correct, an adjuster with two Y shaped ends would be perfect, but I can't find one. Know where to get one online? |

that piece you have circled is a separate piece that you use to adjust your brake once you put the hub back on. When you buy the small parts kit, it is included along with a little package of white lithium grease. Make sure you put them in correctly on both sides of your car so that to expand the ebrake shoe you turn the spindle up, Clockwise. Then the largest hole on your hub needs to line up with that so that you can use a flat head screw driver to adjust it nice and tight when you ebrake handle is at the height you want. Its an annoying system of adjust, but it does the trick. good luck with all the springs and such, they are pretty bothersome to install on this setup, or at least they were for me.

Ya I figured out that's a separate piece, it was just rusted and needed to be smacked with a hammer. I kinda felt like an idiot.
