Figure 6-1 Loosen Equalizer Nut
4.2. Insert a 1/2 inch x 5/8 inch cold chisel (1) under the head (2) of each pin and shear them off as illustrated
(Figure 6-2, Page 6-2). This will release the shoes from the backing plate, allowing them to pivot away
from the inside of the brake drum (3), which should then allow the brake drum to be pulled free. After
completing step 6, skip step 7. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Although step 6 allows easier access to the brake shoes, it is not imperative to do so in order to remove
the brake shoes.
5. For electric vehicles: Remove the axle shaft. See Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Removal, Section 17, Page 17-1.
For gasoline vehicles: Remove the wheel hub assembly. See Rear Hub Removal, Section 24, Page 24-4.
6. Using needle nose pliers, turn the clip retainer pin (1) 90° to remove the shoe retainer clip (2). See following
CAUTION.
CAUTION
• The brake shoes are under spring pressure and can release suddenly when brake shoe retainers are
removed.
7. Grasp both brake shoes and pull them, together with the springs, out of the brake assembly as shown.
