tubing to be flared. Close the jaws of the Flaring Tool
around the tubing to keep it from sliding out of the
flaring tool, but do not lock the tubing in place. See

Tool so that it is flush with the top surface of the
flaring tool bar assembly. (Fig. 41) )
(4) Install the correct size adaptor for the brake
tubing being flared, on the feed screw of the yoke
assembly. Center the yoke and adapter over the end
of the tubing. Apply lubricant to the adapter area
that contacts brake tubing. Making sure the adapter
pilot is fully inserted in the end of the brake tubing.

the adaptor has seated squarely on the surface of the
bar assembly (Fig. 41). This process has created the

PARK BRAKE AUTO ADJUSTER MECHANISM
RELEASE
The park brake pedal mechanism used in this vehi-
cle is designed so that the auto adjuster is not
required to be locked out when servicing the park
brake pedal and or the park brake cables.
This park brake pedal mechanism is designed so
that the adjuster mechanism will rotate only half a
turn when the tension is released from the park
brake cable. This eliminates the requirement to lock

brake pedal mechanism and cables.
Use the following procedure to release the tension
from the park brake cables and the auto adjuster in
the park brake pedal mechanism.

brake cable and pull rearward on it. While holding

ing pliers on the front park brake cable just rearward
of the second body outrigger bracket (Fig. 42).
