(5) Install the outboard brake shoe on the disc
brake caliper
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
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. 56)
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 22 N´m (192 in. lbs.).
(8) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(9) 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 129 N´m (95 ft. lbs.).
(10) Remove jackstands or lower hoist.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm
brake pedal to adequately stop the vehicle.
(11) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoe linings.

WARNING: ALTHOUGH FACTORY INSTALLED
BRAKE LININGS ARE MADE FROM ASBESTOS
FREE MATERIALS, SOME AFTERMARKET BRAK-
LINING MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS. THIS SHOULD
BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN SERVICING A
VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN AFTERMARKET
BRAKE LININGS MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON
THE VEHICLE. ALWAYS WEAR A RESPIRATOR
WHEN CLEANING BRAKE COMPONENTS AS
ASBESTOS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM
SUCH AS ASBESTOSIS AND OR CANCER. NEVER

PRESSED AIR, USE ONLY A VACUUM CLEANER
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE REMOVAL OF
BRAKE DUST. IF A VACUUM CLEANER IS NOT
AVAILABLE, CLEAN BRAKE PARTS USING ONLY
WATER±DAMPENED SHOP TOWELS. DO NOT CRE-
ATE BRAKE LINING DUST BY SANDING BRAKE
LININGS WHEN SERVICING A VEHICLE. DISPOSE
OF ALL DUST AND DIRT SUSPECTED OF CONTAIN-
ING ASBESTOS FIBERS USING ONLY SEALED AIR-
TIGHT BAGS OR CONTAINERS. FOLLOW ALL
RECOMMENDED SAFETY PRACTICES PRE-
SCRIBED BY THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

CAUTION: When installing the tension clip on the
automatic adjuster, it must be located on only the
threaded area of the adjuster assembly (Fig. 66). 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. 66) attaching the
upper return spring to the automatic adjuster assem-
bly.

ing brake shoe of the rear brake assembly (Fig. 63).
(10) Install the actuating spring on the automatic
adjustment lever and leading brake shoe assembly
(Fig. 62).
(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 per Adjusting Rear
Brakes procedure in the service adjustments section
of the service manual.
(16) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(17) Push the park brake pedal to the floor once
and release pedal. This will automatically remove the
slack from and correctly adjust the park brake
cables.
(18) 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 130 N´m (95 ft. lbs.).
(19) Road test vehicle. The automatic adjuster will
continue the brake adjustment during the road test
of the vehicle.
BRAKE SUPPORT PLATE (REAR DRUM BRAKES)
REMOVE
(1) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual for required lifting procedure.
(2) Remove wheel and tire.
(3) Remove brake drum from hub/bearing.
(4) Remove brake shoes from brake support plate.
Refer to Rear Brake Shoe Removal in the removal
and installation section in this group of the service
manual for the required procedure.(5) Disconnect the park brake cable from the park
brake actuation lever.
(6) Remove the rear wheel speed sensor from the
rear hub/bearing flange (Fig. 74). This will prevent
damage to the speed sensor during removal and
installation of the hub/bearing.The rear wheel
speed sensor bolts to the hub/bearing. It can
not be removed unless the speed sensor is
removed first.
CAUTION: When working in the area of the rear
hub/bearing and when removing it from the rear
axle, care must be used so the teeth on the tone
wheel are not damaged. Damage to the teeth on the
tone wheel will result in false ABS cycling and cor-
rosion of the tone wheel.
(7) Remove the 4 bolts (Fig. 75) attaching the hub/
bearing to the flange of the rear axle .

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

CAUTION: Corrosion may occur between the hub/
bearing and the axle. If this occurs the hub/bearing
will be difficult to remove from the axle. If the hub/
bearing will not come out of the axle by pulling on
it by hand, do not pound on the hub/bearing to
remove it from the axle. Pounding on the hub/bear-
ing to remove it from the axle will damage the hub/
bearing. This damage will result in noise or failure
of the bearing.
(8) If hub/bearing cannot be removed from the axle
by hand, use Remover Special Tool 8214 (Fig. 76) and
following procedure to press the hub/bearing out of
the axle.
(a) Place Special Tool 8214-1 over tone wheel
and against cast flange of hub/bearing (Fig. 76)
(b) Put a dab of grease in the bolt pilot hole on
the back of Special Tool 8214-1.
(c) Insert Special Tool 8214-2 into the hole in the
bottom of the end casting on the axle (Fig. 76).
Special Tool 8214-2 should be against and sup-
ported by the axle plate (Fig. 76) when pressing
the wheel bearing out of the axle.If Special Tool
8214-2 will not fit into the hole in the end
casting, file or grind the flashing from the
hole until tool fits properly.
(d) Align bolt in Special Tool 8214-2 with pilot
hole in Special Tool 8214-1. Tighten bolt against
Special Tool 8214-1.
(e) Press hub/bearing out of axle by continuing
to tighten bolt in Special Tool 8214-2 against Spe-
cial Tool 8214-1.
(9) Remove the hub/bearing from the rear axle and
brake support plate (Fig. 77).
(10) Using a suitable tool such as a 14 mm box
wrench (Fig. 78) or an aircraft type hose clamp, com-
press the flared legs on park brake cable retainer.
Then pull the park brake cable out of brake support
plate.(11) Lower vehicle enough to access the brake
pedal.
(12) Using a brake pedal depressor, move brake
pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of travel. This
will prevent brake fluid from draining out of master
cylinder when brake tube is remove from wheel cyl-
inder.
(13) Raise vehicle.
(14) Disconnect brake tube from wheel cylinder
(Fig. 79).
(15) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the wheel cylin-
der to the brake support plate (Fig. 79).
(16) Remove the wheel cylinder from the brake
support plate.
(17) Remove the rear brake support plate from the
rear axle.
