5. Remove the lock nut (item 1) that retains the brake
drum. Slide the brake drum from machine (Fig. 7).
NOTE: If the brake drum is severely worn, it may be
necessary to loosen the brake shoes before removing
the brake drum. Loosen the brake shoes by turning the
star wheel adjuster (item 7) inside the brake drum as-
sembly.
6. Remove the four (4) lock nuts, hardened washers
and socket head screws that secure brake assembly
and outer seal plate to axle housing (Fig. 8). Use the
hole in the axle shaft flange to gain access to the lock
nuts.
IMPORTANT: Hold the socket head screws with a
wrench to prevent the screw head from rotating and
damaging the axle tube.
7. Pull the axle shaft and brake assembly out of the axle
housing (Fig 9).
NOTE: Remove the bearing race from the axle housing
with a bearing puller if necessary.
