Brake Shoe Installation, Continued:
7.2. Using 90° internal snap ring pliers (0.090 tip) (CCI P/N 1012560), attach the internal retaining ring
into the axle tube hub so that it seats against the axle bearing assembly and into the machined slot
in the inside wall of the axle tube hub (Figure 6-3, Page 6-2).
7.3. Place a 1/4 to 3/8 - inch (6 - 10 mm) diameter rod against the retaining ring and tap lightly at four
or five locations to ensure it is properly seated. See following WARNING.
∆
WARNING
• Be sure retaining ring is properly seated in groove. If ring is not properly installed, the axle
assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other
components. Loss of vehicle control could result in severe personal injury or death.
∆
CAUTION
• Before installing axle shaft, clean any residual oil from the exposed end of the axle tube and
from the oil seal area.
8. Install the brake drum, and make sure that it is properly seated. See following NOTE.
NOTE: If drum installation is difficult, the brake shoes may need to be adjusted vertically in the mounting
slots.
9. After the drum is installed, make sure the axle and drum turn freely and then install the wheel. See Wheel
Installation, Section 8, Page 8-1.
10. Adjust brake cable equalizer. See Brake Cable Equalizer Adjustment on page 6-8.

BRAKE CABLE EQUALIZER ADJUSTMENT

See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1. See also Warning on Page 6-1.
1. After maintenance on the the brake system is complete, lower the vehicle onto the floor. With the brake
pedal in the full up or at rest position, adjust the turnbuckle until the proper brake tension is achieved. The
turnbuckle is properly adjusted when the distance from the top of the equalizer to the upper flange sur-
face is 2 inches ± 1/16 inch (51 mm ± 1.6 mm).
2. Ensure that both threaded rods are visible in the witness holes of the turnbuckle before the jam nuts are
tightened (Figure 6-18, Page 6-9).
3. Tighten the jam nuts on each end of the turnbuckle to 13 ft-lb (17.5 N·m) to lock it in place. For optimal
performance, drive the vehicle and apply the brakes approximately 20 times to burnish the shoes, center
the clusters, and adjust the brake mechanism.
4. Once steps 2 and 3 are complete, recheck the 2-inch specification listed in step 1. If the measurement
has not changed, the adjustment is complete. If the measurement has changed, perform steps 1 through
3 again.
5. Replace access panel and floor mat. See GCOR, Section 5, Page 5-3.
