MC012C-AS00 TRANSAXLE: HYDRAULIC AND PARK BRAKE SYSTEMS
NOTE: This vehicle uses a pair of identical brake shoes in each front and rear brake cluster. Each shoe
must be positioned so that the adjuster pin is inserted into the slot of the brake shoe (Figure 6-11,
Page 6-12).

FRONT BRAKE SHOE INSTALLATION

1. Install one shoe onto the back plate, positioning the bottom tip of the shoe into the brake shoe mounting
block, and the top tip of the shoe into the wheel cylinder piston.
2. Compress the spring with the cup washer (12) onto the pin of the adjuster assembly (3) (Figure 6-1,
Page 6-2) and rotate 90° to secure the brake shoe (Figure 6-4, Page 6-9).
3. Attach the tensioning springs onto the shoe with the smaller spring on top and the larger spring on the
bottom.
4. Position the bottom tip of the remaining shoe into the mounting block and the top tip into the slot in the
wheel cylinder piston. Attach the free ends of the tensioning springs to the loose shoe and push the shoe
into place.
5. Compress the remaining spring and cup washer (12) onto the pin of the adjuster (3) (Figure 6-1,
Page 6-2) and rotate 90° to secure the brake shoe (Figure 6-4, Page 6-9).
6. After the shoes are installed, move them together up and down approximately 1/4 to 3/8-inch (6.3 to 9.5
mm) to make sure that they will slide easily without binding (Figure 6-13, Page 6-13).
7. Install the front wheel brake drum. See Front Wheel Brake Drum Installation on page 6-14.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the remaining front wheel if necessary.
9. Bleed the front brakes as instructed. See Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-31.
10. Perform all of the brake system inspections. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-1.

REAR BRAKE SHOE INSTALLATION

1. Install one shoe onto the back plate, positioning the bottom tip of the shoe into the brake shoe mounting
block, and the top tip into the wheel cylinder piston.
2. Compress the spring with the cup washer (12) onto the pin of the adjuster assembly (3) (Figure 6-19,
Page 6-21) and rotate 90° to secure the brake shoe (Figure 6-6, Page 6-9).
3. Attach the tensioning springs onto the shoe with the smaller spring on top and the larger spring on the
bottom (Figure 6-11, Page 6-12).
