Brake Shoes and Linings

Removal

1. Raise the vehicle so the wheels (1007) clear the floor, and install safety stands under the rear axle (4001).

2. Remove the wheel and brake drum (1126). Go to Step 4. If the brake drum does not clear the rear brake shoes and linings (2200), go to Step 3.

3. NOTE: Some brake drums will not come off easily.

   Using a screwdriver, move the brake shoe adjusting lever (2A176) off the brake shoe adjusting screw nut (2047) and, using Brake Adjustment Tool D81L-1103-C or equivalent, loosen brake shoe adjusting screw nut to obtain clearance for brake drum removal.

   Remove the brake drum.

   

4. NOTE: A small amount of brake fluid is always present and acts as a lubricant for the wheel cylinder piston.

   Inspect:

   • the rear wheel cylinder (2261) for excessive leakage that can contaminate brake system parts, and rebuild as necessary.
   • rear brake shoes and linings for contamination, and replace as necessary.
   • rear brake shoes and linings for minimum thickness, and replace as necessary.
   • springs for heat discoloration, and replace as necessary.

5. NOTE: Brake drum maximum inside diameter is molded into the face of the brake drum.

   Using Rotunda Brake Drum Micrometer 104-00046 or equivalent, measure the brake drum inside diameter.

   Replace brake drum if maximum inside diameter is exceeded.

   

6. Remove the brake shoe retracting spring (2296).

7. Remove the parking brake lever bolt lock nut, at the back of the brake backing plate (2211), and the parking brake lever bolt.
