Re-installing Gap Insert
1.
Clean all mating surfaces completely with
mineral spirits and inspect and remove any
burrs. ALL MATING SURFACES MUST BE
ABSOLUTELY CLEAN!
2.
Lightly oil a lint-free cloth with way oil and rub
a thin film into pores of freshly cleaned mat-
ing surfaces. Next, place gap insert in posi-
tion on lathe bed.
3. Back off dowel pin jack nuts (see Figure 139
on Page 82) until they are flush with ends
of pins, then drop pins into pin holes in gap
insert.
4.
Jostle gap closer to its final alignment until
pins seat naturally.
5. Install and lightly snug four cap screws in a
sequence that will draw gap closer into align-
ment. Use blocks of wood and clamps to get
mating surfaces into alignment if necessary.
6. When alignment and flush-mating is accept-
able, tighten four cap screws in a pattern that
will maintain or improve the alignment.
7.
Wait 24 hours, and check for quality of mat-
ing. If unacceptable, use clamps and blocks
of wood, and loosen and tighten appropriate
cap screws to draw-in and release certain
areas of gap insert to achieve the required
alignment.
8.
When satisfied with alignment, tap dowel pins
the rest of the way into the gap insert until
they are in fully seated positions, and thread
jack nuts down until they just contact insert.
9.
Tighten preload cap screw until it contacts
headstock and resistance can be felt, then
tighten it an additional

of brake wear, measure from the following loca-
tions:
• If riveted linings are used, the measurement is
taken from the rivet heads to the lining surface
as viewed from the brake pad surface.
• If bonded linings are used, the measurement
is taken from the metal shoe surface to the
surface of the lining as viewed from the side
of the brake shoe.
If the drum pulley is bell-mouthed, cracked, or
shows deep groves, replace it immediately. For
minor scoring, the drum pulley can be dressed
with sandpaper or turned on a lathe.
