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.

ible sections of the tubes. This is required due to
the movement between the ABS ICU and the master
cylinder while the vehicle is in motion.(4) Connect primary and secondary brake tubes to
master cylinder primary and secondary ports (Fig.
48). Brake tubes must be held securely when tight-
ened to control orientation of flex section. Tighten

PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The parking brake system is operated by a foot
operated parking brake lever. The parking brake
lever is mounted on the body of the vehicle to the left
of the brake pedal (Fig. 94). It is a automatic-adjust-
ing type lever. The vehicle has four flexible steel parking brake
cables. They are: ² Front
² Intermediate
² Left rear
² Right rear
The front parking brake cable extends from the
parking brake lever. A steel equalizer bracket con-
nects the front parking brake cable to the left rear
and intermediate cable. The intermediate cable is
connected to the right rear cable using a parking
brake cable connector. On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, the
rear service brakes also act as the vehicle's parking
brakes. Vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes use a
small duo-servo brake assembly mounted to the each
rear disc brake caliper adapter as the parking brake.
The inside of the brake rotor (hat section of drum-in-
hat style brake rotor) is used as the parking brake
drum.
DESCRIPTION - EXPORT
The parking brake system on this vehicle features
a hand-operated parking brake lever. The lever is
located between the two front seats and requires a
special front cable.
OPERATION
The automatic-adjusting feature in the foot oper-
ated parking brake lever continuously applies mini-
mal tension to the parking brake cables when the
parking brake lever is in the released position to
keep them in adjustment at all times. Due to this
feature, the parking brake cables require no periodic
adjustment. When the parking brake lever is applied, the
cables are pulled, thus applying the brake shoes
(rear drum brakes) or parking brake shoes (rear disc
brakes) at each rear wheel. The brake shoes are mechanically operated by an
internal lever and strut connected to the rear park-
ing brake cables. An equalizer bracket is used at the rear end of the
front parking brake cable to distribute tension
equally to each parking brake cable.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PARKING BRAKE
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER TENSION RELEASE
The parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism used
in this vehicle is designed so that the automatic
adjuster is not required to be locked out when servic-
ing the parking brake lever (pedal) or the parking
brake cables. This parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism is
designed so that the adjuster mechanism will rotate
only half a turn when the tension is released from
the parking brake cable. This eliminates the require-
ment to lock out the automatic adjuster when servic-
ing the parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism and
cables. Use the following procedure to release the tension
from the parking brake cables and the automatic
adjuster in the parking brake lever (pedal) mecha-
nism. (1) Grasp the exposed section of the front parking
brake cable and pull rearward on it. While holding
the park brake in this position, install a pair of lock-
ing pliers on the front parking brake cable just rear-
ward of the second body outrigger bracket (Fig. 95).
(2) Remove the left rear and intermediate parking
brake cables from the parking brake cable equalizer
(Fig. 96). (3) Remove the equalizer from the front parking
brake cable. (4) Remove the locking pliers from the front park-
ing brake cable. This will allow the adjuster in the
parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism to rotate
around to its stop. This will remove the tension from
the adjuster and front park brake cable (Refer to 5 -
BRAKES/PARKING BRAKE - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
