WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLIES

FINAL BRAKE CLUSTER ADJUSTMENT

1. To adjust the brake shoes, turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise five clicks.
2. Repeat step 1 at other brake cluster(s).
3. Install the rubber dust covers (4) over the brake adjustment bolts (5) (Figure 6-29, Page 6-13 and
Figure 6-30, Page 6-13).
4. Carefully support the vehicle with the lifting device, remove jack stands and lower the vehicle to the
ground.

TEST DRIVE VEHICLE

1. With the vehicle on a level surface, release the park brake and push the vehicle by hand. If brake drag
exists, readjust cable tension and brakes. See Brake Cable Equalization on page 6-16. See also Final
Brake Cluster Adjustment on page 6-17.
2. Pedal free play should be less than 1 inch (2.5 cm). If free play exceeds 1 inch (2.5 cm), check pedal
group adjustment, and readjust cable tension and brakes. See Brake Cable Equalization on
page 6-16. See also Final Brake Cluster Adjustment on page 6-17. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Brake pedal free play is the distance the brake pedal can be pressed before the brake
actuator arm (at the brake cluster) moves.
3. Test drive vehicle. Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under mod-
erate pressure, it should not go more than halfway to floor, and the vehicle should come to a smooth,
straight stop. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to
stop, check pedal group adjustment, and readjust cable tension and brakes. See Brake Cable Equal-
ization on page 6-16. See also Final Brake Cluster Adjustment on page 6-17. Brake adjustment
must be maintained so the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floor under any circumstance.

BRAKE CLUSTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See also Warning, on Page 6-1.

REAR BRAKE CLUSTER REMOVAL

1. Place chocks at the front wheels, loosen the lug nuts on the rear wheels and lift the rear of the vehicle
with a chain hoist or floor jack. Place jack stands under the axle tubes to support the vehicle.
2. Release park brake and loosen equalizer retaining nuts (1 and 5) on equalizer rod (2) to slightly loosen
brake cable (Figure 6-27, Page 6-13).
3. Remove the rear wheels and then the brake drums. See following NOTE.
NOTE: When servicing vehicles with self-adjusting brakes with badly worn brake shoes and
when the drums cannot be removed by normal methods, perform step 4 of Brake
Shoe Removal on page 6-2, then continue with this procedure.
4. Remove the axle:
4.1. Using 90° snap ring pliers, remove the axle retaining ring (1) (Figure 6-3, Page 6-2).
4.2. Pull the axle shaft (2) from the axle tube (Figure 6-3, Page 6-2).
