Hi Has anyone got a diagram of the rear brake shoes bosch type with abs I had to cut the holding pins off and use brute force to remove the drums due to the drums being stepped I have fathomed out where most go except the auto adjuster spring and how does the auto adjuster work. Any help/tips would be appreciated. Cheers I will take photos of the shoes once fitted for future reference and post the photos.

I have these pictures, which may be helpful. I don't know if they are the Bosch system of auto adjuster, but its worth a try.

Job now completed. Apart from getting the drums off and the local motor factors supplying the wrong wheel cylinder/brake shoes even though their computer system said they was.
Brake drum shoes for a Citroen C3. Bosch and Lucas comparison.

Photo attached shows the difference between the Bosch and Lucas type shoes. Bosch on left and Lucas on right the wheel cylinder for the Lucas system is larger than the Bosch and mounting hole on backplate don't line up.
I hope this information is useful to someone attempting to renew rear brake shoes (Bosch) type. Incidentally I used new brake spring fitting kit and hub nut another tip when changing the wheel cylinder fitting the bleed nipple cover over the end of the brake pipe flange stops brake fluid loss.
