removing them; in this event the wheel should
be renewed, although you could consult a
specialist engineer who might be able to skim
the surface.
7 Measure the internal diameter of the brake
drum with a vernier caliper and compare the
result with the standard specification at the
beginning of this Chapter. Take several
measurements to ensure the drum has not
worn out-of-round. If the drum has worn, or is
out-of-round, consult a Peugeot dealer or
specialist engineer.
8 To check and lubricate the brake cam, first
remove the brake shoes (see Steps 10 to 12).
Note the position of the brake arm and spring,
then loosen the brake arm pinch bolt and pull
the cam out of the casing (see illustration).
Clean all traces of old grease off the cam and
shaft. If the bearing surfaces of the cam or
shaft are worn the cam should be renewed.
9 Lubricate the shaft with a smear of copper
grease; position the brake arm and spring and
install the cam in the casing, then tighten the
pinch bolt securely. Lubricate the cam and the
pivot post with a smear of copper grease and
install the brake shoes.
Shoe renewal
10 Remove the wheel (see Section 15).
11 If the shoes are not going to be renewed
they must be installed in their original
positions; mark them to aid reassembly. Note
how the springs are fitted.
12 Grasp the outer edge of each shoe and
fold them inwards towards each other to
release the spring tension and remove the
shoes. Remove the springs from the shoes.
13 To install the shoes, first lubricate the cam
and the pivot post with a smear of copper
grease and hook the springs into the shoes.
Position the shoes in a V on the cam and pivot
post, then fold them down into position.
Operate the brake arm to check that the cam
and shoes work correctly.
14 Install the wheel and test the operation of
the brake before riding the scooter.
