LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE group for the
proper lifting procedure.

the vehicle.

hub and bearing.

and bearing to the spindle. Remove the hub and
bearing from the spindle.

support plate. Refer to DRUM BRAKE SHOES in
this REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION section.(9) Remove the parking brake actuator lever from
the parking brake cable.

fingers on the end of the parking brake cable (Fig.

with the wrench, then pull the cable housing out of
the support plate. Remove the wrench as the parking
brake cable retainer is freed from the mounting hole
in the brake support plate.
