PB-6
PARKING BRAKE SHOE
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Lining Thickness Inspection

Check thickness of lining.
Drum Inner Diameter Inspection

Check drum inner diameter.
Other Inspections

Check shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.

Check anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.

Check return spring for sagging.

Check adjustor for rough operation.

Check either visually or with a vernier caliper to see if there is
any excessive wear, cracks, or damage inside drum.
INSTALLATION
Be careful of the following:

Refer to “Component Parts Location” and apply brake grease to the specified points during assembly.

Assemble adjuster so that threaded part expands when rotating
it in the direction shown by the arrow.

Shorten adjuster by rotating it.

When disassembling adjuster, apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil)
grease or silicone based grease to the threads.

After replacing brake shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not
function well, perform break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke to the specified stroke.
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag run) operation by driving
the vehicle under the following conditions:
3. After break-in operation, check lever stroke of parking brake. Readjust if it is no longer at the specified
stroke.

To prevent lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period of approximately 5 minutes after every
break-in operation.

Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may cause uneven or early wear of lining.Standard thickness (A) : 3.2 mm (0.126 in)
Repair limit thickness (A) : 1.5 mm (0.059 in)

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceADS000C4
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component status (wear,
damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION

Move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand. Make sure there is no looseness of wheel bearing.

Rotate wheel hub and make sure there is no unusual noise or other irregular conditions. If there are any
irregular conditions, replace wheel bearings.
Removal and InstallationADS000C5
REMOVAL
1. Remove tire with power tool.
2. Remove brake caliper with power tool. Hang it in a place where it will not interfere with work. Refer to BR-
26, "Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly" .
NOTE:

Avoid depressing brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.
3. Remove disc rotor.
4. Remove wheel sensor from axle. Refer to BRC-57, "
