PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
or equivalent with Adapter, Special Tool 6921, to
pressurize the hydraulic system for bleeding.Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instruc-
tions for use of pressure bleeding equipment. (1) Install the Adapter Master Cylinder Pressure
Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921 on the fluid reservoir of
the master cylinder (Fig. 2). Attach the fluid hose
from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special
Tool 6921.
(2) Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw
at one wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar con-
taining fresh brake fluid. (3) Open the left rear wheel bleeder screw at least
one full turn or more to obtain an adequate flow of
brake fluid.
CAUTION: ªJust crackingº the bleeder screw often
restricts fluid flow, allowing only a slow, weak fluid
discharge of fluid. This practice will NOT get all the
air out. Make sure the bleeder is opened at least 1
full turn when bleeding.
(4) After 4 to 8 ounces of brake fluid has been bled
through the hydraulic system, and an air-free flow is
maintained in the hose and jar, this will indicate a
good bleed of the hydraulic system has been
obtained. (5) Repeat the procedure at all the other remain-
ing bleeder screws. (6) Check pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive
or has not been improved, enough fluid has not
passed through the system to expel all the trapped
air. Be sure to monitor the fluid level in the pressure bleeder, so it stays at a proper level so air will not
enter the brake system through the master cylinder.
(7) Perform a final adjustment of the rear brake
shoes (when applicable), then test drive vehicle to be
sure brakes are operating correctly and that pedal is
solid.

TIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
(OSHA) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY (EPA) FOR THE HANDLING, PROCESSING,
AND DISPOSING OF DUST OR DEBRIS THAT MAY
CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS.
INSPECTION - DISC BRAKE SHOES
Visually inspect brake shoes (pads) for uneven lin-
ing wear. Also inspect for excessive lining deteriora-
tion. Check the clearance between the tips of the
wear indicators on the shoes (if equipped) and the
brake rotors. If a visual inspection does not adequately deter-
mine the condition of the lining, a physical check will
be necessary. To check the amount of lining wear,
remove the disc brake shoes from the calipers. Measure each brake shoe. The combined brake
shoe and its lining material thickness should be mea-
sured at its thinnest point. ² For front disc brake shoes, when a set of brake
shoes are worn to a thickness of approximately 7.95
mm (5/16 inch), they should be replaced. ² For rear disc brake shoes, when a set of brake
shoes are worn to a thickness of approximately 7.0
mm (9/32 inch), they should be replaced. ² Typically, if front shoes are worn out, both fronts
and rears need to be replaced. Make sure to check
rears. Replace
bothdisc brake shoes (inboard and out-
board) on each caliper. It is necessary to replace the
shoes on the opposite side of the vehicle as well as
the shoes failing inspection. If the brake shoe assemblies do not require
replacement, be sure to reinstall the brake shoes in
the original position they were removed from.

assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin
bushings do not get damaged by the mounting
bosses.
(6) Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over
rotor and onto adapter, reversing the removal proce-
dure (Fig. 15).
CAUTION: When installing the caliper guide pin
bolts extreme caution should be taken not to
crossthread the guide pin bolts.
(7) Install the caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten the
guide pin bolts to a torque of 35 N´m (26 ft. lbs.). (8) Install the wheel and tire assembly. Tighten
the wheel mounting nuts in proper sequence until all
nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat
the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of
135 N´m (100 ft. lbs.). (9) Lower vehicle.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm
brake pedal to adequately stop the vehicle. (10) Pump brake pedal several times to set brake
shoes to rotors. (11) Check fluid level in reservoir.
(12) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoe linings.

DRUM
REMOVAL - REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOES
(1) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE). (2) Remove the rear wheel and tire assemblies
from the vehicle. (3) Remove rear brake drum to hub retaining clips
(if equipped), then remove rear brake drums. (Refer
to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/DRUM
- REMOVAL)
NOTE: When creating slack in the park brake cables
by locking out the automatic adjuster, (Fig. 18) be
sure that the park brake pedal is in the released
(most upward) position.
(4) Create slack in the rear park brake cables.
Slack is created by grabbing exposed section of front
park brake cable and pulling it down and rearward.
Slack is maintained in the park brake cable by
installing a pair of locking pliers on the park brake
cable just rearward of only the rearbody outrigger
bracket. (Fig. 18)

(4) Install the automatic adjuster screw on the
leading brake shoe. Then install the trailing brake
shoe on the park brake actuating lever and park
brake actuating strut (Fig. 26). Position trailing
brake shoe on brake support plate. (5) Install the brake shoe hold down pin and
spring on the trailing brake shoe (Fig. 25). (6) Install the brake shoe to brake shoe upper
return spring (Fig. 24).
CAUTION: When installing the tension clip on the
automatic adjuster, it must be located on only the
threaded area of the adjuster assembly (Fig. 23). If
it is located on a non-threaded area of the adjuster,
the function of the automatic adjuster will be
affected.
(7) Install the tension clip (Fig. 23) attaching the
upper return spring to the automatic adjuster assem-
bly. (8) Install the brake shoe to brake shoe lower
return springs on the brake shoes (Fig. 21) and (Fig.
22). (9) Install automatic adjustment lever on the lead-
ing brake shoe of the rear brake assembly (Fig. 20). (10) Install the actuating spring on the automatic
adjustment lever and leading brake shoe assembly
(Fig. 19). (11) Verify that the automatic adjuster lever has
positive contact with the star wheel on the automatic
adjuster assembly. (12) When all components of both rear brake
assemblies are correctly and fully installed, remove
the locking pliers from the front park brake cable. (13) Adjust brake shoes assemblies so as not to
interfere with brake drum installation. (14) Install the rear brake drums on the hubs.
(15) Adjust rear brake shoes.
(16) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(17) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 135 N´m (100 ft. lbs.). (18) Lower the vehicle.
(19) Push the parking brake lever (pedal) to the
floor once and release pedal. This will automatically
remove the slack from and correctly adjust the park-
ing brake cables. (20) Road test vehicle. The automatic adjuster will
continue the brake adjustment during the road test
of the vehicle.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT - REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOES
NOTE: Normally, self-adjusting drum brakes do not
require manual brake shoe adjustment. Although, in
the event of a brake shoe replacement, it is advis-
able to make the initial adjustment manually to
speed up the adjusting time.
NOTE: Before raising the vehicle, verify the parking
brake lever is fully released.
(1) Raise the vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE). (2) Remove rubber plug from rear brake adjusting
hole in the rear brake support plate. (3) Insert a thin screwdriver through the adjusting
hole in the support plate and against the star wheel
of the adjusting screw. Move handle of the tool down-
ward, rotating the star wheel until a slight drag is
felt when tire and wheel assembly is rotated. (4) Insert a second thin screwdriver or piece of
welding rod into brake adjusting hole and push the
adjusting lever out of engagement with the star
wheel. Care should be taken so as not to bend
adjusting lever or distort lever spring. (5) While holding the adjusting lever out of
engagement, back off the star wheel just enough to
ensure a free wheel with no brake shoe drag. (6) Repeat the above adjustment at the other rear
wheel. (7) Install the adjusting hole rubber plugs back in
the rear brake support plates. (8) Lower the vehicle.
