Marco, I'll need to look at the layout on our M8 more closely, but I don't think that schematic is what we have so you may be onto something.
Your schematic is in TM 9-1743 but I noticed in that manual the brake drum has one of the wheel bearings incorporated in it, while our M8 does not. After pulling a wheel, you remove three slot head screws and the drum just pulls off the axle flange. So was a major brake redesign done sometime? Anyway, I'll look more closely at ours to confirm what we have.
