MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
BRAKE DRUM REFINISHING
Minor scores on a brake drum can
be removed with sandpaper. A drum
that is excessively scored or shows a
total indicator runout of over 0.007
inch should be turned down. Remove
only enough stock to eliminate the
scores and true up the drum. The refi-
nished diameter must not exceed 0.060
inch oversize.
Check the inside diameter of the
brake drum with a brake drum mi-
crometer (Tool FRE-14^1).
If the drum diameter is less than
0.030 inch oversize after refinishing^
standard lining may be installed. If
the drum diameter is 0.030—0.060
inch oversize after refinishing, oversize
lining must be installed.
After a drum is turned down, wipe
the refinished surface with a cloth
soaked in clean denatured alcohol. If
one drum is turned down, the opposite
drum on the same axle should also be
cut down to the same size.
ROTOR REFINISHING
Rotunda Disc Brake Attachment,
FRE-2249-2, is the only recommended
tool to refinish the disc brake rotors.
The step-by-step resurfacing procedure
provided with the tool must be ad-
hered to.
The finished braking surfaces of the
rotor must be flat and parallel within
0.0007 inch; lateral runout must not
exceed 0.003 inch total indicator read-
ing, and the surface finish of the brak-
ing surfaces are to be 80/15 micro
inches. The minimum limiting dimen-
sions (Figs. 11 and 12, Part 2-1) from
the inboard bearing cup to the out-
board rotor face and from the inboard
bearing cup to the inboard rotor face
must be observed when removing ma-
terial from the rotor braking surfaces.
On all models except Lincoln Con-
tinental, the limiting dimensions are to
be measured with a ball and gage bar
(Rotunda Kit FRE-70160).
BRAKE SHOE RELINING
Brake linings that are worn to with-
in 1/32 inch of the rivet head or are
less than 0.030 inch thick (bonded lin-
ing) or have been contaminated with
brake fluid, grease or oil must be re-
placed. Failure to replace worn linings
will result in a scored drum. When it
is necessary to replace linings, they
must also be replaced on the wheel on
the opposite side of the vehicle.
Inspect brake shoes for distortion,
cracks, or looseness. If this condition
exists,
the shoe must be discarded. Do
not attempt to repair a defective brake
shoe.
1.
Wash the brake shoes thoroughly
in a clean solvent. Remove all burrs
or rough spots from the shoes.
2.
Check the inside diameter of the
brake drum with a brake drum mi-
crometer (tool FRE-1431). If the di-
ameter is less than 0.030 inches over-
size,
standard lining may be installed.
If the diameter is 0.030—0.060 inches
oversize, oversize lining should be in-
stalled.
3.
Position the new lining on the
shoe.
Starting in the center, insert and
secure the rivets, working alternately
towards each end. Replacement lin-
ings are ground and no further grind-
ing is required.
4.
Check the clearance between the
shoe and lining. The lining must seat
tightly against the shoe with not more
than 0.008 inch clearance between any
two rivets.

7.
Dip three new valve body O-
rings and teflon rings in C1AZ-
19582-A lubricant. Install the O-rings
on the valve body being careful not to
twist them. Slide the three teflon rings
into place over the O-rings being care-
ful not to stretch them any more than
necessary.
8. Lubricate a new dampener O-
ring and install it in the spool groove.
9. Assemble the stub shaft in the
valve body making sure that the
groove in the cap engages the pin in
the body. Tap the cap lightly with a
soft-faced hammer to seat it in the
valve body.
10.
Dip the valve spool in C1AZ-
19582-A. With the notch of the spool
toward the valve body, carefully slide
the spooi over the shaft and into the
body rotating it slightly to permit easy
entry. Make sure that the dampener
O-ring is distributed evenly to prevent
TEFLON RING
damage. Guide the spool to engage
the notch with the dowel in the body.
11.
Place the spool spring on the
stub shaft with the larger diameter
toward the spool. Work the small end
of the spring down over the shaft until
the small end is seated in the groove
of the stub shaft.
12.
If, during the assembly of the
valve, the stub shaft and end cap as-
sembly is allowed to slip out of en-
gagement with the valve body pin, the
spool will be permitted to enter the
valve body too far. The dampener O-
ring seal will expand into the valve
body fluid grooves preventing with-
drawal of the spool. Attempt to with-
draw the spool with a slight pull and
much rotary motion. If this does not
free the spool after several tries, make
sure that the spool is free to rotate;
place the valve body on a flat surface
with the notched end up, and tap the
spool with a wooden or plastic rod
until the O-ring seal is cut and the
spool can be removed. Replace the
dampener O-ring seal and proceed
with the assembly procedure as be-
fore.

Apply Lubriplate liberally to one of
the ball return guides and install the
six remaining balls in the guide. Place
the other half of the guide in position
and insert them into holes in the
rack-piston. Be sure that the dark ball
in the guide is installed next to the
polished ball in the rack-piston. Install
the ball return guide clamp with
screws and lock washers. Tighten the
screws to 8-12 ft-lbs.
8. The worm groove is ground with
a high point in the center. V/hen the
rack-piston passes over this high point
there should be a preload of 1-4 in-
lbs.
Clamp the rack-piston in a vise
with soft jaws with the worm shaft
pointing up. To avoid distortion, do
not tighten the vise too tight.
9. Place the valve assembly on the
worm, engaging the worm drive pins.
Rotate the worm until it extends 1
1/4 inch from the rack-piston to the
thrust bearing face. This is the center
position.
10.

with a 3/4-inch-deep wall 12-point
socket on the stub shaft, and rotate
the wrench through an arc of approxi-
mately 60 degrees in both directions
several times, then take a torque read-
ing. The highest average reading ob-
tained with the worm rotating should
be between 1-4 in-lbs.
