BLEEDING
a.
Before the master cylinder is installed on the
car,
the unit must be bled.

b.
Support the cylinder assembly in a vise and

fill
both fluid reservoirs with approved brake fluid,

e.
Loosely install a plug in each
outlet
of the

cylinder.
Depress the push rod several times until

air
bubbles cease to appear in the brake fluid.

d.
Tighten the plugs and attempt to depress the piston. The piston travel should be restricted after
all
air is expelled.
e.
Install
the master cylinder on the car and bleed
the hydraulic lines at the wheel cylinder. Refer to
Par.
P-7.

a.
To remove a wheel cylinder,
jack
up the vehicle

and
remove the wheel, hub, and
drum.
Disconnect
the brake line at the fitting on the brake backing
plate. Remove the brake
shoe
return spring which

will
allow the brake
shoes
at the toe to
fall
clear of the brake cylinder. Remove two screws holding
the wheel cylinder to the backing plate.
b.
Remove the rubber dust covers on ends of

cylinder.
Remove the pistons and piston cups and
the spring.

c.
Wash the parts in clean alcohol.

d.
Examine the cylinder bore for roughness or
scoring.
Check
fit of pistons to cylinder bore.
e. When reassembling the cylinder, dip springs, pistons and piston cups in brake fluid.
Install

spring
in center of the wheel cylinder.
Install

piston cups with the cupped surface towards the

spring
so that the flat surface
will
be against
the piston.
Install
pistons and dust covers.
f.
Install
wheel cylinder to the backing plate and connect brake line and install brake

g. Replace wheel, hub, and
drum.

h.
Bleed the brake lines (Par. P-7).

P-22. TROUBLE
SHOOTING

P-23.
Squeaky
Brakes

In
most cases, squeaks are entirely eliminated by

correct
adjustment of the brakes. Squeaks may be
caused however, by glazed linings, lining wore thin
to the point of
exposed
rivets or by vibration. A

drum
will
not vibrate when the brake is securing

uniform
contact over the entire lining surface, ex­
cept when due to improper conditions such as the
linings becoming glazed.
Glazed
surface of the

brake
linings may be removed by a stiff
wire
brush.
Occasionally
squeaks are caused by roughened
sur­

face of the
drum,
which can usually be remedied
by rubbing down with emery cloth and by wiping
the brakings surface clean. In extreme cases it may
be necessary to reface the drum in a lathe. Should
this be done, do not remove a metal thickness greater than .030" [0,762 mm.] - .060" [1,52 mm.]

overall
diameter.

P-24. Rattles
in
Brakes

See that the tension of the springs in the brakes

and
attached to the control system are sufficient to

return
brakes and brake mechanism to their normal
position.
Return
springs are so placed that they
keep all slack out of the control system by tension on all joints.

Brakes
will
not rattle inside the
drum
if the springs
holding the
shoes
are kept at the proper tension. 333

Q-4. Checking
Front
Wheel Bearings

Raise
the front end of the vehicle with a
jack

so that the tires clear the floor.

Grip
the tire and
test
sidewise shake of the wheel.

If
bearings are correctly adjusted, shake of the
wheel
will
be just perceptible and wheel
will
turn

freely with no drag.

If
bearing adjustment is too tight, the rollers may

break
or
become
overheated. Loose bearings may cause
excessive
wear and noise.

If
this
test
indicates bearing adjustment is neces­

sary,
follow
the procedure given in Par. Q-5. Loose
bearings
will
cause sidewise shake that is evident

around
the entire circumference of the wheel. A shake that is evident only when gripping the
wheels
in
a plane parallel to the ground, but not evident

around
the entire circumference, probably indicates
looseness
in the steering linkage.

Q-5.
Front Wheel Bearing Adjustment
With
the vehicle on the
jack,
the following proce­

dure
should be followed to adjust the front wheel
bearings on four wheel-drive vehicles.
a. Remove the hub cap, snap
ring,
capscrews, and
washers that attach the driving
flange
to the hub.

b.
Using the
Front
Axle Shaft Drive Flange Puller

W-163,
pull
the driving flange.
c. Bend the lip of the nut lock washer so that the

locknut
and lock washer may be removed.

d.
Rotate the wheel and tighten the adjustment nut until the wheel binds.

Note:
Front
tire and wheel must be rotated by

hand
as the adjusting nut is
tightened
to ensure positive seating of the bearing.

Then
back off the adjusting nut about one-sixth
turn
making sure that wheel rotates freely without
sidewise shake.
e. Replace the lock washers and locknut. Bend
over the lock washer lip.
f.
Check
the adjustment (Par. Q-4). Reassemble the driving
flange
and hub cap. Make certain the
gasket is properly installed
between
the hub and
the flange.

•
Model DJ-5, DJ-6

On
two-wheel drive vehicles, remove the hub cap
and
the wheel retaining nut cotter pin. Rotate the
wheel and tighten the wheel retaining nut until the wheel binds.
Then
back off nut about one-sixth
turn
or more if necessary making sure wheel ro­

tates
freely without sidewise shake. Replace the cotter pin and hub cap.

Q-6.
Rear
Wheel Bearing Adjustment —

Flanged
Axle Shaft

Vehicles
equipped with the
flange
type
rear
axle
shaft require no wheel bearing adjustment. The flanged axle shaft is equipped with a single row,

pre-adjusted,
tapered roller unit-bearing capable of
accepting thrust in either direction. The unit-

bearing
adjustment is built in at the factory mak­
ing shimming or bearing adjustment unnecessary.

Refer
to Fig. Q-6.

Q-7.
Checking
Rear
Wheel Bearings —
Tapered
Axle

Raise
wheel on which adjustment is to be made
by placing a
jack
under the axle housing.
With
hands,
test
sidewise shake and in and out play
of the wheel. If bearings are correctly adjusted,
shake of wheel
will
be just perceptible and the 337

GENERAL
The
body
is of
all
steel construction with mountings
that provide a secure attachment to the frame.

All
major panels are of No. 18
gauge
steel. All
open

edges
of the panels are turned under, reinforced

and
flanged to provide strength. These panels are reinforced with
"U"
sections
and welded. All com­

ponent
panels are seamed and welded
together.
The
body
is insulated from the frame with insulator shims placed
between
the
body
and frame and

body
bolts.

The
instruments and controls, mounted on the
instrument panel are within clear view and easy
to reach.

Note:
A new floor pan cover plate has
been

released on late CJ-5 and CJ-6 models, that is
identified by a stamped oval-shaped bubble or
relief, located to the right of the accelerator treadle.

Remove fabric
tops
from their protective covering
immediately after they are received. Store in a

dry,

place. If the material is damp, the
top should be installed on the vehicle immediately

and
washed with a mild soap; then
give
the top a

quick
and thorough rinsing.
