WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLIES
Brake Shoe Removal, Continued:
3. Remove the rear wheels and remove the brake drums. If the brake drums were easily removed, proceed
to step 5. See following CAUTION and NOTE.
ý
CAUTION
• Worn or damaged brake drums cannot be machined to refinish them. Replace as necessary.
NOTE: When servicing vehicles with self-adjusting brakes with badly worn brake shoes and
when the drums cannot be removed by normal methods, proceed to step 4 to mini-
mize damage to the brake cluster and brake components.
4. Removing brake drums with badly worn brake shoes.
4.1. On the back of each brake cluster assembly, locate the heads of two brake shoe retaining pins. It
may be necessary to remove sealant material around the head of each pin.
4.2. Insert a 1/2 x 5/8-inch cold chisel under the head 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 and allow the brake drum to be pulled free. After completing
step 5, skip step 6.
5. Remove the axle.
5.1. Using 90° snap ring pliers (CC P/N 1012560), remove axle retaining ring (1) (Figure 6-3,
Page 6-2).
5.2. Pull the axle shaft (2) from the axle tube (Figure 6-3, Page 6-2).
