Brake Shoe Installation - Club Car Carryall 500 2016 Maintenance And Service Manual

WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLIES

BRAKE SHOE INSTALLATION

See General Warnings on page 1-1. See also Asbestos Dust Warning on page 6-1.
NOTE: Components of the front wheel brake assembly are identical to the rear wheel manually-adjusted brake
assembly. The front brake assembly is rotated 90° (when compared to the rear brake assembly) so the
adjusting bolt on each assembly is oriented to the rear of the vehicle rather than at the top of the assembly
(Figure 6-23, Page 6-14).
1. Position one shoe in the slots in the mounting block anchor piston and brake actuator (Figure 6-14, Page
6-6). See following WARNING.
WARNING
• When installing brake shoes, the shoes must be oriented with tips stamped J10 inserted into the
mounting block anchor piston slots rather than into the brake actuator slots (Figure 6-14, Page 6-6).
Incorrectly installed brake shoes will be too tight and make adjustment of the brake impossible.
2. Install the shoe retainer clip, using pliers to compress the clip (1) while turning the retainer pin (2) into position
(Figure 6-12, Page 6-5).
3. Attach the springs (with hooks pointing outwards) onto the trailing shoe already installed. Then hold the leading
shoe next to the trailing shoe, correctly oriented, and attach the springs to it (Figure 6-13, Page 6-6).
NOTE: With brake shoe tips marked J10 oriented to the mounting block, the stamping will be visible on one shoe only.
The other J10 stamping will be facing the backing plate and will not be visible.

4. While maintaining spring attachment on both shoes, position tips of the second shoe (1) in the mounting slots and
then push shoe into place. Hold shoe in position and install retaining clip.
5. After the shoes are installed, move them together up and down and side to side to make sure that they will easily
slide approximately 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch (6.3 mm to 9.5 mm) without binding. Make sure the shoes are positioned
vertically so the tips of the shoes are positioned flush with the top surface of the shoe mounting blocks as shown
in (Figure 6-13, Page 6-6). See following CAUTION.
