Fig. 25 Backing Plate Removal and Installation
Remove the clevis pin securing the brake cable to the
brake lever.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Connect the brake
cable to the wheel brake with the clevis pin installed
from the top down and a new cotter pin. Install the brake
assembly or backing plate to the axle tube flange. Install
new hardware (locknut should only be used once) and
tighten to 23 - 28 ft. lbs (31 - 38 Nm) torque.

Brake Shoe and Adjuster Replacement

NOTICE
It is recommended that when brake shoes are replaced, the
adjusters and springs also be replaced. It is good practice to
do one side at a time, using the other side for reference.
Remove the three brake shoe springs and discard (1, 2,
3). Note the location of the heavy spring and the
adjuster spring (Ref Fig. 26). Hold the shoe clamp pin
(4) and compress and rotate the shoe clamp (5) 90° to
release it from the shoe clamp pin. Remove the brake
shoes, adjusters and remaining components.
Clean the backing plate with a commercial brake
cleaner. Allow to dry completely. Lubricate the friction
points of the shoes and moving anchor with Multi Pur-
pose Grease (MPG) lubricant (Ref Fig. 24).
Be sure that the adjusting screw is screwed into the
star wheel nut until only 1 - 2 threads are exposed
