DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Remove the wheel. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. Release the parking brake. Remove the drum. Refer to Drum in this section. Measure the lining thickness. The minimum lining thickness is 0.5 mm (0.02 inch).
DRUMS
Whenever brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected to see if the drums are cracked, scored, deeply grooved, or beyond the specified outofround limit. S A cracked drum is unsafe for further service andmust be replaced. Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum. Smooth out any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause excessive brake lining wear and may require refinishing the drum braking surface. If the brake linings are slightly worn but are still reusable and the drum is grooved, polish the drum with a fine emery cloth but do not refinish it. Eliminating all grooves in the drum and smoothing the ridges on the lining would remove too much metal and lining. If left alone, the grooves and ridges match, and satisfactory service can be obtained. If the brake linings need to be replaced, refinish a grooved drum. A grooved drum, used with a new
CAUTION : To avoid injury when servicing brake parts, do not create dust by grinding or sanding the brake linings or by cleaning the wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air. Important : Replace the shoe and lining assembly in axle sets only. 6. 7. 8. Install the drum, if removed. Refer to OnePiece Drum or TwoPiece Drum in this section. Install the wheel, if removed. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. Lower the vehicle.

Using the rear brake adjuster nut, turn the adjuster assembly in until there is a sufficient amount of drag on the brake drum. Make sure that the parking brake lever stops are against the edge of the shoe web. If they are not, loosen the parking brake cable at the equalizer. Refer to Section 4G, Parking Brake.
Tighten
Tighten the drum detent screw to 4 NSm (35 lbin). 2. Install the rear wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. Important : The brake pedal must be operated more than 10 times. When the clicking can no longer be heard, the clearance between the brake shoe and drum is adjusted. 3. Apply the foot brake several times until the clicking of the adjustment actuator can no longer be heard. 4. Adjust the parking brake. Refer to Section 4G, Parking Brake.

Disconnect the upper link of the connecting link spring of the leading shoe to relieve tension on the upper return spring. Remove the upper return spring and the adjuster.
9.
Disconnect the trailing shoe and lining assembly on the right side. 10. Detach the lower return spring.
Installation Procedure
1. Measure the minimum brake lining thickness. Refer to Lining Inspection in this section. 2. Clean the adjuster assembly and apply grease. Notice : If any parts are of questionable strength or quality because of heat discoloration, excessive stress, or wear, the shoes, the springs, or the adjuster assembly should be replaced. 3. Inspect the threads of the adjuster assembly for smooth rotation.
4.
Install the trailing shoe and lining assembly with the holddown spring, the washer, and the pin. 5. Make sure the parking brake cable is properly routed and attached to the shoe lever. Notice : Do not overstretch the lower return spring. 6. Fasten the lower return spring on the shoe.
Install the adjuster assembly. Turn the adjuster in as far as possible. Position the spring clip toward the backing plate. Install the leading shoe with the holddown spring.
13. Attach the leading shoe upper linkspring connection, which applies tension to the upper return spring. Notice : Do not overstretch the upper return spring. 14. Install the upper return spring from the spring connecting link to the brake shoe.
Notice : The nut must not lock firmly at the end of the adjustment assembly. 15. Before installing the brake drum, make sure the adjuster assembly nut is drawn all the way to the stop.

BACKING PLATE
Removal Procedure
1. 2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Remove the brake shoe components, including complete removal of the parking brake with the retainer. Refer to Shoe and Lining in this section and Section 4A, Hydraulic Brakes. Remove the nuts that secure the wheel hub assembly to the backing plate. Remove the brake line and plug the opening in the line to prevent fluid loss or contamination. Remove the wheel cylinder assembly. Refer to Wheel Cylinder Assembly in this section. Remove the wheel hub assembly. In case of ABS brake, disconnect the cable that goes to the wheel speed sensor. Separate the backing plate and the gasket.

Assembly Procedure
1. Inspect the wheel cylinder bore and the pistons for scoring, nicks, corrosion, and wear. 2. Use a crocus cloth to polish out light corrosion in the wheel cylinder bore. Important : If the bore will not clean up with a crocus cloth, replace the assembly.

Clean all the parts in clean denatured alcohol or brake fluid. Dry all the parts with unlubricated compressed air and lubricate the new seals, the pistons, and the wheel cylinder bore with clean brake fluid before assembly. Thinly coat all the parts except the dust caps with brake cylinder fluid. Fasten the bleeder valve and the cap to the wheel cylinder.
of shoes that have been in service, as this may render the selfadjustment feature inoperative and result in increased pedal travel. Notice : To avoid damaging the vehicle, observe the following directions: S S S Replace all the components included in the repair kits used to service this drum brake. Do not use lubricated shop air on the brake parts, as damage to the rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the braking system. Replace the shoe and linings in axle sets only. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. Perform service operations on a clean bench that is free from all mineral oil materials.
