P-1. GENERAL
A
double-safety
hydraulic brake system in con­
junction with self-adjusting wheel brake units are
standard
equipment on all current production
'Jeep* vehicles. The
double-safety
brake system
Is
equipped with dual
stop
light switches that op­
erate independently of each other, thus eliminating
possible
stop
light failure. Service information for
self adjusting brakes starts with Par. P-14.
All
four-wheel-drive vehicles are equipped with a transmission brake that operates in the drive line

and
is mounted to the rear of the transfer case. Two-wheel-drive vehicles
(DJ-5,
DJ-6)
are equipped
with a hand-operated parking brake that operates at the rear wheels.

P The
standard parking brakes (Fig. P-3) consist of
cable-controlled linkage for applying the rear wheel

brake
shoes
mechanically. A single cable from the

parking
brake control lever is connected, by means of an equalizer, to cables leading to individual rear

brakes.
A lever attached to the secondary
shoe,

with a link acting against the
primary
shoe,
expands the
shoes
into
contact with the drums.
P-4.
Transmission Brake

The
transmission brake is mechanically operated
by a hand lever through a cable and conduit and is mounted at the rear output bearing housing on the
transfer case. The transmission brake and its
linkage are shown in Fig. P-4.
P-5.
Brake Maintenance
No brake can be
expected
to work well when grease
or oil is allowed to leak
into
the drum from the rear axle. Little braking friction can be obtained

between
brakes and drums when the surface is
covered with grease and oil. For this reason, take
care
not to over-lubricate wheel bearings, forcing

lubricant
past seals. Also, check condition of seals

if
leak is suspected or whenever brake drums

are
pulled.
Whenever
wheels
are removed, it is advisable to
wash the drums with a suitable solvent so that all
grease and dirt are removed. Linings with any
evidence of grease or oil on them should be replaced.
The
hydraulic system should be kept free of dirt

and
moisture.
Use only SAE standard J-1703 Hydraulic
Brake
Fluid.

Caution:
Keep mineral oils, gasoline, or kerosene
out of the system as
they
cause rubber cups to

soften,
swell, and distort, resulting in failure.
P-6.
Brake
Service

To
service the brakes,
follow
the procedure
below:

a.
Check the fluid level in the brake master cylin­
der.
See Lubrication Section, Par. B-40.
b. Check brake pedal adjustment. See Par. P-9.
c. Check brake pedal travel. If the pedal travels more than halfway to the floor, the brake system
must be checked and the self adjusting star wheel mechanisms checked for binding, also the brake
linings should be inspected as
they
may be badly

worn.
How much lining is
left
can only be deter­ mined by visually inspecting the linings. See Par.
P-l6 for relining brakes.

d.
If the brakes pull to one side after adjustment, check tire pressures. All tires must be inflated to recommended pressures to ensure even braking. If
the condition persists, examine the brake linings
for foreign material and clean as necessary. If clean­
ing
does
not correct the condition the linings should be replaced. If the side pull persists, check front
wheel alignment and balance.
e. Check the brake system for leaks by applying a steady pressure on the brake pedal. A leak in the
system
will
allow the pedal to "fall away". If the pedal "falls away" check for a leaking wheel cylin­
der.
Remove
wheels
and drums and carefully check
each cylinder. Also examine all lines and fittings.

Rebuild
or replace all wheel cylinders (Par. P-21)

if
one is
defective
as
they
are all probably in poor condition. If the leak has allowed brake fluid to get
on the linings, the linings
will
have to be replaced.
f. A
"spongy"
brake pedal indicates the pressure of air in the hydraulic system.
This
condition must
be corrected by bleeding the brakes. See Par. P-7.
g. Should the brakes
become
locked so that the vehicle cannot be moved, the brakes may be re­
leased by opening the bleeder screw on any one of the wheel cylinders. Before the vehicle is driven, correct the cause of the condition. The cause may

ADJUSTMENT

P-10.
Hand Brake

On
Model DJ-5 and DJ-6 vehicles the rear brake

shoes
are operated through cables and conduits to
form the hand or parking brake. A brake cable
equalizer and adjusting rod, Fig. P-6, is located directly back of the frame center cross member.

P-11.
Parking Brake Adjustment

•
Model DJ-5, DJ-6.

The
foot
brakes must be satisfactorily adjusted be­
fore attempting adjustment of the hand brake.

To
adjust the hand brake raise both rear
wheels

free of the floor.
Pull
up three
notches
on the hand

brake
lever and tighten the adjustment until the

rear
brakes drag slightly. Release the hand brake
lever and check the rear
wheels
for drag. The

wheels
must turn freely with the lever released.

P-12.
Transmission Brake Adjustment
The
transmission brake is located on the propeller
shaft at the rear of the transfer case, see Fig. P-4.
The
brake is operated by a cable connection from
the brake handle mounted on the instrument panel.

To
adjust the transmission brake, the following

sequence
should be followed:
Make
sure that the brake handle on the instrument
panel is fully released. Give due attention to the
cable and operating linkage to see that
they
do
not bind. If necessary free up the cable and
lubri­
cate it. Rotate the brake drum until one pair of the
three
sets
of
holes
are over the
shoe
adjusting screw

wheels
in the brake. Use the
edge
of the
holes
in
the brake drum as a fulcrum for suitable adjusting

tool
or a screwdriver, rotate each notched adjusting
screw by moving the handle of the
tool
away from
the center of the drive shaft until the
shoes
are
snug in the drum.
Back
off seven
notches
on the
adjusting screw
wheels
to secure proper running clearance
between
the
shoes
and the drum. Refer
to Fig. P-8.

To reline the brake
shoes
and make a major ad­
justment, first remove the four universal joint at­ taching nuts and lower the propeller shaft. Remove
the retracting spring clevis pin and the spring clip.
Remove the hug lock nut, the nut and washer from
the transfer case output shaft. Both the universal

and the brake drum may be readily removed by using puller Tool No. W-172

which
is illustrated in Fig. P-7. Remove the two

brake
shoe
retracting springs and the
shoes.

b. Clean all parts with a suitable cleaning solution

and
examine them for damage or wear.

Brake
shoes
may be distorted by improper lining
installation and the lining should be ground true
after installation on the
shoes.
For this reason it
is recommended that new or replacement
shoe
and
lining assemblies be installed.
c. To reassemble, first turn both adjusting screw

wheels
away from the center to "all off" position.
Place a light film of grease on the brake actuating

cam
and install the

h. The
position
of the brake operating lever, Fig.
P-8, must be correctly set. The
position
of this
lever
is determined by the adjustment of the cam or
brake operating
link,
which
spreads
the two
shoes.
The
operating
link
is adjusted by
means
of the

special
ball
nut to set the operating lever
with

[2,38
mm.] clearance between the closest
point

of
the lever and the brake backing plate.

i.
The
position
of
this
lever should be checked when

making
a major adjustment or when
relining
the
brakes and
if
found
incorrect readjust it to give this
clearance before adjusting the brake cable
clevis.

P-14.
Self-Adjusting
Wheel
Brake
Units
Self-adjusting
brakes are standard equipment on

all
late production
'Jeep'
vehicles.
The
wheel brake units consist of a support plate,

two
brake
shoes,
brake
shoe
return springs, self-

adjusting
operating parts, and a wheel
cylinder.
The
automatic adjuster continuously maintains

correct
operating clearance between the brake
lin­
ings
and the drums by adjusting the brakes
in
small

increments in direct
proportion
to
lining
wear. This
continuous
adjustment prevents gradual increase

in
the brake pedal
travel
as the
linings
wear. The
adjuster, therefore,
adds
the safety feature of
main­
taining
adequate
pedal reserve
during
the service

life
of the
lining.

After
the
lining
wears enough to require adjust­ment, the adjusting cable or
link
will lift
the lever

into
engagement
with
the next
tooth
of the
star

wheel
when the brake is applied. When the brake
is
released, the
shoes
return to the anchor. The
self-adjuster
utilizes
the movement of the brake

shoes
in a brake application to
actuate
the adjuster
lever.

This
action
will
repeat
on
subsequent
brake applica­

tions,
if
necessary,
until
the
shoe
to
lining
clearance
is
reduced to a
point
where the
shoe
movement

is
not enough to
cause
the cable to
lift
the lever

to
the next
tooth.

The
adjusting lever, adjusting screw assembly,

linkage
rods and lever crank parts are
left
hand
or
right
hand parts, NOT interchangeable, and
MUST
be kept
separated.

The
automatic adjuster on the brake system con­

sists
of an adjusting screw assembly, adjusting

lever,
two adjusting
links,
and a lever crank, (Fig.
P-10).

Note:
It is not
necessary
to remove the rear axle
shaft hubs to
perform
minor
brake service.

When
replacement of
oil
seals
is also required, hubs must be removed.

On
vehicles equipped
with
self-adjusting brake
assemblies, self-adjustment of the
front
wheel brakes
takes
place
during
reverse wheel brake ap­

plication
and the rear wheel brake adjustment
takes

place
during
forward
vehicle brake application.

P-17. Inspection
Inspect the oil seals in the wheel hubs. If the con­
dition of any oil seal is doubtful, replace it. Install
the oil seal with an oil seal driver as shown in Fig.

P-9.

Brake
shoes
may be distorted by improper lining installation and linings should be ground true. For
this reason it is recommended that new or re­
placement
shoe
and lining assemblies be installed.
Using
brake drum micrometer C-3920 or equi­
valent, check all drums. Should a brake drum be rough and scored, it may be reconditioned by grinding or turning in a lathe. Do not remove more
than .030"
[0,762
mm.] thickness of metal .060" [1,52 mm.] overall diameter. If a drum is recon­
ditioned in this manner, either the correct factory-
supplied, oversize lining .030"
[0,762
mm.] must be
installed or a shim equal in thickness to the metal
removed must be placed
between
the lining and

shoe
so that the arc of the lining
will
be the same
as that of the drum.

If
it is found when
wheels
are removed that there
is brake fluid leakage at any of the wheel cylinders, it
will
be necessary to replace or recondition the
wheel cylinder (Par. P-21) and bleed the brake lines (Par. P-7).
Whenever the brake lining is replaced in one front
or one rear wheel, be sure to perform the same
operation in the
opposite
front or rear wheel, us­
ing the same brake lining part number. Otherwise, unequal brake action
will
result.
