assembly and pedal sup-
port bracket (Fig. 23)
2. Position the brake pedal as-
sembly to the support bracket, then

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
BRAKE DRUM REFINISHING
Minor scores on a brake drum can
be removed with sandpaper. A drum
that is excessively scored or shows a
total indicator runout of over 0. 007
inch should be turned down. Remove
only enough stock to eliminate the
scores and true up the drum. The
refinished diameter must not exceed
0. 060 inch oversize.
Check the inside diameter of the
brake drum with a brake drum
micrometer.
If
the drum diameter is less than
0. 030 inch oversize after refinishing,
standard lining may be installed. If
the drum diameter is 0 .030-0.060
inch oversize after refinishing, over-
size
lining must be installed.
After a drum is turned down, wipe
the refinished surface with a cloth
soaked in clean denatured alcohol.
If
one drum is turned down, the oppo-
site drum on the same axle should
also be cut down to the same size.
ROTOR REFINISHING
The finished braking surfaces of
the rotor must be flat and parallel
within 0
.
0007 inch; lateral run out
must not exceed 0 . 003 inch total in-
dicator reading, and the surface finish
of the braking surfaces are to be
80/15 micro inches. The minimum
limiting dimensions (Fig. 2) from
the inboard bearing cup to the out-
board rotor face and from the in·
boarq bearing cup to the inboard
rotor face must be observed when
removing material from the rotor
braking surfaces. On all models, the
limiting dimensions are to be mea-
sured with a ball and ·puge bar
(Tool Rll02A).
BRAKE SHOE RELINING
Brake linings that are worn to with-
in

less'
than

lining) or have been contaminated

4. Disconnect the rear ends of the
cable from the parking brake levers
on the brake shoes. Disengage the
cable housing retaining grommets
from the carrier plates and withdraw
the cable ends and housings from the
inboard sides of the carrier plates.
S.
Slide the cable housings out of
the main side
brac~ets
and remove
the cable assembly from the car.
INSTALLATION
1.
Insert both cable ends and
housings
·
through the holes in the
carrier plates from the inboard side.
NOTE: Ensure that when fitting the
cable ends to the carrier plates that
they are fitted so that the flat irt the
D-shaped hole in the cable yoke is
uppermost.
2. Connect the cable ends to the
parking brake levers on the brake
shoes and engage the cable housing
retaining grommets to the carrier
plate.
3.
Position the cable housings in
the main side brackets and install the
hairpin retainers.
4. Position the cable yoke and
cable on the equalizer rod and install
the adjusting locknut.
The flat on the threaded section of
the equalizer rod must be uppermost.
5. Adjust the parking brake as
directed on Page 2-3.
with brake fluid, grease or oil must be
replaced. Failure to replace worn
linings will result in a scored drum.
Whea it is necessary to replace
linings, they must also
be
re-
placed on the wheel on the
opposite side of the vehicle.
Inspect brake shoes for distortion,
cracks, or looseness. If this condition
exists, the shoe must be discarded.
Do not attempt to repair a de-
fective brake shoe.
1. Wash the brake shoes thor-
oughly in a clean solvent. Remove all
burrs or rough
spots
from the shoes.
2. Check the inside diameter of
the brake drum with a brake drum
micrometer. If the diameter
is
less
than 0
.
030 inches oversize, standard
lining may be
installed.
If the dia-
meter is 0
.
030-0. 060 inches over-
size, oversize lining should be in-
stalled.
3. Position the new lining on the
shoe.
