I am rebuilding my rear drum brakes and have a question about the orientation of the automatic adjusters. I currently have the skinny side out and the beveled side out. Is this correct?

| There are good pictures, and answers to your questions, in the FAQ if I remember correctly. |

Yeah but unfortunately a lot of photos are no longer visible and there's a search for "vanagon brake adjuster + thesamba" returns some unrelated and maybe even unreliable info.
Here's a starting point for your searching https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=655319&start=0 |

Looking at photos, I am fairly certain that the skinny side, facing the rear of the van, of the adjuster faces out.
The end towards the front of the van is unclear. I have seen some photos with the bevel side out and some with it in. I'm not sure if its critical. |

I found this video that goes into detail. I believe my current setup is wrong but at least I have only done one brake so far. |

Pay very close attention to what Crazyvwvanman says and shows on page 1.
Print it out and put it in your bentley, page 46.6. |

I was able to take my drum off again and fix this yesterday. Thanks. |
