    Does anyone know where to get a cross sectional or other views or drawings
    of how these work. I don't quite understand how the parking brake cam and
    adjustment bolt actually work, and how they make the cross hatched bolt that
    pushes on the inner pad rotate out. It's hard to believe that the cam is
    actually on the inside of the piston bore immersed in high pressure brake
    fluid yet actuated from an external level and not leak.

    My Chilton's manual has a pretty detailed drawing of the
    rear drum brake parts on my 91 Civic, so you might try other
    Honda manuals for whatever Honda you have.

    www.autozone.com has free online repair guides for Hondas
    1995 and older which are nearly identical to Chilton's.

    http://www.honda.co.uk/car/owner/workshop.html also has some
    repair guides for Hondas.
