circlip.
• Assemble the brake lining packet on the
transmission and tighten the three bolts and
washers by hand .
• Press the brake lever (1) backwards so that the

bolts with moment to 27 Nm (20 ft, lbs.), whilst
the drum is locked.

Install the brake spring with holder on the gold-
coloured brake arm by passing the recesses into

Firmly fix the spring holder so that the
holder's metal tabs (shown by the arrows)
point away from the transmission.
