The caliper is a one piece casting with the inboard
side containing a single piston cylinder bore.
The phenolic piston is 60 mm (2.36 inch) in diam-
eter.
A square cut rubber piston seal is located in a
machined groove in the cylinder bore. It provides a
hydraulic seal between the piston and the cylinder
wall (Fig. 4).
The molded rubber dust boot mounts in a counter
bore of the cylinder bore opening and in a groove
which is machined in the outer surface of the piston
(Fig. 4). This prevents contamination of the piston
and the bore area.
As lining wears, reservoir level will go down. If
fluid has been added, reservoir overflow may occur
when the piston is pushed back into the new lining
position. Overflowing can be avoided by removing a
small amount of fluid from the master cylinder res-
ervoir.
REAR DRUM BRAKES
The rear wheel drum brakes are a two shoe, inter-
nal expanding type with an automatic adjuster screw.
The automatic adjuster screw is actuated each time
the brakes are applied. The automatic adjuster screw
is located directly below the wheel cylinder.
REAR DISC BRAKES
The rear disc brakes are similar to front disc
brakes, however, there are several distinctive fea-
tures that require different service procedures. The
single piston, floating caliper rear disc brake system
includes a hub and bearing assembly, adapter, rotor,
caliper, and brake shoes. The parking brake system
on vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes, consists
of a small duo-servo drum brake mounted to the cal-
iper adapter. The drum brake shoes expand out
against a braking surface (hat section) on the inside
area of the rotor.
This vehicle is equipped with a caliper having a 42
mm (1.65 in.) piston and uses a 15 inch solid non-
vented rotor.The disc brake caliper floats on rubber bushings
using threaded guide pin bolts which are attached to
the back side of the adapter.
The adapter and rotor shield are mounted to the
rear axle. The adapter is used to mount the brake
shoes and actuating cables for the parking brake sys-
tem. The adapter is also used to mount the rear cal-
iper. The adapter has two machined abutments
which are used to position and align the caliper and
brake shoes for movement inboard and outboard (Fig.
5).
PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
The rear wheel service brakes also act as parking
brakes. The brake shoes are mechanically operated
by an internal lever and strut connected to a flexible
steel cable. The rear cables and intermediate cable
are connected to the front cable by an equalizer. The
front cable extends to the parking brake foot pedal
assembly.
PROPORTIONING VALVES
FIXED PROPORTIONING VALVE
The hydraulic brake system on all vehicles is diag-
onally split. This means that the left front and right
rear brakes are on one hydraulic circuit with the
right front and left rear brakes on the other hydrau-
lic circuit.
On vehicles equipped with ABS brakes, the brake
systems hydraulic control unit (HCU) is mounted to
the front suspension crossmember on the driver's
side of the vehicle. The (HCU) acts as the hydraulic
system junction block, diagonally splitting the brakes
hydraulic system.
All vehicles equipped with ABS brakes use 2 fixed
proportioning valves. The fixed proportioning valves
are mounted in a common bracket on the left frame
rail at the rear of the vehicle (Fig. 6).

normal. This may indicate:(1)Abnormal loss of
brake fluid in the master cylinder fluid reservoir
resulting from a leak in the hydraulic system.(2)
Brake shoe linings which have worn to a point
requiring replacement.
As the brake fluid drops below the minimum level,
the brake fluid level sensor closes to ground the
brake warning light circuit. This will turn on the red
brake warning light. At this time, master cylinder
fluid reservoir should be checked and filled to the full
mark with DOT 3 brake fluid.If brake fluid level
has dropped below the add line in the master
cylinder fluid reservoir, the entire brake
hydraulic system should be checked for evi-
dence of a leak.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
The stop lamp switch controls operation of the
vehicles stop lamps. Also, if the vehicle is equippedwith speed control, the stop lamp switch will deacti-
vate speed control when the brake pedal is
depressed.
The stop lamp switch controls operation of the
right and left tail, stop and turn signal lamp and
CHMSL lamp, by supplying battery current to these
lamps.
The stop lamp switch controls the lamp operation
by opening and closing the electrical circuit to the
stop lamps.
HUB/BEARING REAR WHEEL
The rear hub and bearing assembly used on this
vehicle is serviceable only as a complete assembly. No
attempt should be made to disassemble a rear hub
and bearing assembly in an effort to repair it.
The rear hub and bearing assembly is attached to
the rear axle using 4 mounting bolts that are remov-
able from the back of the rear hub/bearing.

(4) Remove the 2 bolts (Fig. 19) attaching the pro-
portioning valve to the frame rail.
CAUTION: When lowering the proportioning valve,
care must be taken not to kink any of the chassis
brake lines.
(5) Carefully lower the proportioning valve for
clearance to install the proportioning valve test fit-
tings.
(6) Install the required fitting from Pressure Test
Fittings, Special Tool 6833 (Fig. 20) into the inlet
port of the proportioning valve assembly, from which
the chassis brake line was removed. Install the
removed chassis brake line into the Pressure Test
Fitting (Fig. 20). Install the required fitting from
Pressure Test Fittings, Special Tool 6833 into the
required outlet port of the proportioning valve.
Install the required fitting from Pressure Test Fit-
tings, Special Tool 6833 into the required outlet port
of the proportioning valve (Fig. 20). Then install the
removed chassis brake line into the Pressure Test
Fitting (Fig. 20).
(7) Install a pressure gauge from Gauge Set, Spe-
cial Tool C-4007-A into each pressure test fitting (Fig.
21). Bleed air out of hose from pressure test fittings
to pressure gauges, at the pressure gauges (Fig. 21).
Then bleed air out of the brake line being tested, at
that rear wheel cylinder.
(8) With the aid of a helper, apply pressure to the
brake pedal until a pressure of 6895 kPa (1000 psi) is
obtained on the proportioning valve inlet gauge.
Then based on the type of brake system the vehicle is
equipped with and the pressure specification shown
on the following table, compare the pressure reading
on the outlet gauge to the specification. If outlet
pressure at the proportioning valve is not within
specification when required inlet pressure is
obtained, replace the proportioning valve.(9) Repeat steps 2 through 7 for the other propor-
tioning valve of the assembly.
CAUTION: When mounting the original or a
replacement proportion valve on the frame rail of
the vehicle install the mounting bolts in only the
two forward holes of the mounting bracket (Fig. 19).
HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE
CAUTION: The use of after-market load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle are
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sens-
ing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.
When a premature rear wheel skid is obtained on a
brake application, it may be an indication that the
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes is above the
specified output from the proportioning valve. This
condition indicates a possible malfunction of the
height sensing proportioning valve, which will
require testing to verify that it is properly controlling
the hydraulic pressure allowed to the rear brakes.
Premature rear wheel skid may also be caused by an
incorrectly adjusted proportioning valve actuator
assembly, or contaminated front or rear brake lin-
ings.
Prior to testing a proportioning valve for function,
check that all tire pressures are correct. Also, ensure
the front and rear brake linings are in satisfactory
condition.It is also necessary to verify that the
brakes shoe assemblies on a vehicle being
tested, are either original equipment manufac-
turers (OEM), or original replacement brake

pin bolts (Fig. 44).
(4) Remove caliper from steering knuckle, by first
rotating free end of caliper away from steering
knuckle. Then slide opposite end of caliper out from
under machined abutment on steering knuckle (Fig.
45).
(5) Support caliper firmly to prevent weight of cal-
iper from being supported by the brake fluid flex
hose. Supporting weight of caliper by the brake fluid
flex hose, can damage the flexible brake hose (Fig.
46).
INSTALL
(1) Lubricate both steering knuckle abutments
with a liberal amount of MopartMultipurpose Lubri-
cant, or equivalent.CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the steering knuckle, so the seals on
the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged
by the steering knuckle bosses.
(2) Carefully position caliper and brake pad
assemblies over brake rotor by hooking lower or
upper end of caliper over the machined abutment on
steering knuckle (Fig. 45). Then rotate caliper into
position at the top of the steering knuckle (Fig. 45).
Make sure that caliper guide pin bolts, bushings and
sleeves are clear of the steering knuckle bosses.
(3) Install the caliper guide pin bolts (Fig. 44) and
tighten to a torque of 41 N´m (40 ft. lbs.).Extreme
caution should be taken not to cross thread the
caliper guide pin bolts.
(4) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(5) Using a torque wrench, 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.).
(6) Remove jackstands or lower hoist.
(7)Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a
firm brake pedal.
