MECHANICAL BRAKES
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
B
Pay particular attention to the location of the inner brake drum
washer (6) inside the brake drum, which may be on the axle
shaft or attached to the rear of the drum hub. This washer must
be reinstalled when the brake is reassembled.
To install the brake drum, clean the axle shaft and the
splines on the brake drum to remove dirt, grease and
foreign matter. Apply a small amount of anti-seize com-
pound to the axle spline. Install the inner brake drum
washer (6) and slide the brake drum (5) into place.
Check to ensure the nose of drum hub is beyond the end
of the axle splines. If not, remove drum and install one
additional inner brake drum washer (total of 2) to obtain
required spacing.
Do not back off nut to install cotter pin.
Install the remaining hardware and tighten the nut to 80-
90 ft. lbs. (108 - 122 Nm) torque. Continue to tighten
until a new cotter pin can be installed through the castel-
lated nut and the hole in the axle. Maximum torque is
140 ft. lbs. (190 Nm).

Wheel Brake Service

Wheel brake service consists of disassembly, cleaning,
inspection, lubrication and re-assembly of the wheel
brake. Worn or damaged components must be replaced.
Wheel brake service is required periodically as a pre-
ventive maintenance measure (see Periodic Service
Schedule in Section A). The wear rate of brake shoes
and required service intervals will vary based on usage,
terrain and other conditions. It is recommended that
wheel brake service be performed periodically on a sam-
ple of vehicles within the service fleet to establish the
most efficient and effective service interval.
Remove the brake drum as described in 'Brake Drum
Removal and Installation'.
Wear eye protection and a mask when clean-
ing brake c omponents . Do not use com-
pressed air to remove brake dust from brake
assembly.
Do NOT use a commercial brake cleaner unless the

allow lubricant to contact the braking portion of the brake
shoes or the friction surface of the brake drum. Use only
recommended lubricants.
Lubricate the backing plate friction points of the shoes
and surfaces with Multi Purpose Grease (MPG) lubricant
(Ref. Fig. 22 on Page K-16).
