Is the central adjuster fully loosened/backed off?
Are the shoes fully backed off?
Do you have adjusters in the drums? - are they backed off?

Cheers

Oh, I see what you mean.
You think perhaps you have 2 of one side, instead of a pair, 1 left 1 right.

Where did you get them from, part numbers??

Edit - looks like they re both the same - Part number 30793828
