FJ40 Wheel Cylinders (1 Viewer)

Can someone please explain to me how FJ40 wheel cylinders are differentiated? I was surprised to learn when purchasing that you have to purchase front/rear cylinders. They sure look the same.

It's been a while, but I thought the main difference was that the fronts have the toothed wheel that allows you to adjust the shoes with a screw driver thru the back of the drum. ???

Adjustment threads are left and right hand, so that screw driver handle swings outward to adjust shoes outward.

Ahh, makes sense. Many thanks.
