Rear Brakes - Actuator Arm Position

Where should the actuator arm be positioned on the cam for NEW brake shoes?
Where should the "SPLIT" be located in relation to the "INDICATOR" mark on the cam?

Position it so that the adjusting nut is near the end of the threaded portion of the cable....to provide you the most available adjustment in the future. You might have to move it once or twice to get it in the right place.

so the cam indicator is lined up with the mark on the hub and the actuator arm is as far out (towards the rear of the bike) as necessary to give the most adjustment, as the brakes wear?

Every one of them on eBay looks to be in this position....use it as a starting point.

Thanks Dave, that picture looks similar to the setup in the manual.

welp, the rear brake change took about an hour and a half. Not that hard, really. I did notice that the pads looked almost new, only about a 1/4-1/3 of the pads towards the rear was worn, the rest looked brand new except covered in brake dust.
The hardest part was getting the axle and bushings back in by yourself. Especially the belt side. What a PITA. My girl had the misfortune of walking in the garage at a point when I was "struggling". She closed the door really quick.
