Installation

Drum Brakes:

1. Apply a light coating of caliper slide grease at points where brake shoes contact backing plate.
2. Apply a thin uniform coat of long-life lubricant to adjuster screw threads and socket end of the adjusting screw. Install stainless steel washer over socket end of adjusting screw and install socket. Turn adjusting screw into adjusting pivot nut to the limit of threads and then back off one-half turn.
3. Assemble parking brake lever to trailing shoe and lining assembly by installing spring washer and a new horseshoe retaining clip. Crimp the clip until it retains lever to the shoe securely.
4. Attach parking brake cable to parking brake lever.

Installing Retracting Spring And Shoe Assembly:

5. Attach lower shoe retracting spring to leading and trailing shoe assemblies and install to the backing plate. It will be necessary to stretch retracting spring as shoes are installed downward over anchor plate to inside of shoe retaining plate.

Adjuster Screw Assembly:

6. Install adjuster screw assembly between leading shoe slot and the slot in the trailing shoe and parking brake lever. The adjuster socket end slot must fit into the trailing shoe and parking brake lever.

NOTICE: The adjuster socket blade is marked R or L for RH or LH brake assemblies. The R or L adjuster blade must be installed with the letter R or L in the upright position (facing wheel cylinder) on the correct side to ensure that the deeper of two slots in the adjuster sockets fits into the parking brake lever.

7. Assemble adjuster lever in the groove located in the parking brake lever pin and into the slot of the adjuster socket that fits into trailing shoe web.
8. Install shoe holddown springs.

Upper Retracting Spring:

9. Attach upper retracting spring to leading shoe slot. Using an appropriate spring tool, stretch the other end of the spring into the notch on the adjuster lever. If adjuster lever does not contact star wheel after installing the spring, it is possible that the adjuster socket is installed incorrectly.
10. Position rear hub assembly on rear wheel spindle.
11. Install rear axle wheel hub retainer and tighten to 255-345 Nm (188-254 ft lb).
12. Install new rear hub cap grease seal using a 1-7/8 inch x 3/4 inch drive socket.
13. Adjust brake shoes/linings.
