1991 BRAKES
Disc & Drum
Chrysler Motors: Ram-50;
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION
Brake system consists of a master cylinder, vacuum power
brake unit, proportioning valve and self-adjusting assembly. Pickup
and Ram-50 models have a Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV). All
models are equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Parking brake assembly activates rear brakes.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
Montero
Bleed brake system in following order: right rear, right
front and left front (one circuit handles both rear brakes).
Pickup & Ram-50
Bleed brake system in following order: right rear, left rear,
LSPV, right front and left front.
ADJUSTMENTS
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT & FREE PLAY
1) Separate connector from stoplight switch, and loosen lock
nut. Position switch so it does not contact brake pedal arm. Adjust
brake pedal height by rotating master cylinder push rod (yoke, if
equipped) until distance from top of brake pedal to floor board is
correct. See BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) DO NOT depress push rod. Tighten lock nut, and ensure
brake pedal height is within specification. Start engine to evacuate
brake booster chamber. Stop engine, and apply brake several times to
remove vacuum from brake booster.
3) Using hand pressure, depress brake pedal to measure free
play before resistance is felt. If distance is incorrect, bleed the
brake hydraulic system, and check for misadjusted brakes. Refer to the
BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.

length. If spring length is not 6.97-7.09 in. (177-180 mm), adjust
cable or support until correct length is obtained. See Fig. 1.

MASTER CYLINDER PUSH ROD
Check and adjust clearance between back of master cylinder
piston and power brake push rod. See PUSH ROD CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS
table. See Fig. 2. After adjusting push rod clearance, adjust pedal
height, and bleed brake system.

PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE
NOTE: Adjust service brake before adjusting parking brake.
Montero
1) Start engine, and apply brake pedal. Pull parking brake
lever with a force of 44-45 lbs. (20.0-20.4 kg). Parking brake lever
should move up 4-6 notches.
2) If necessary, turn adjusting cable nut located under
console or at end of cable rod. See Fig. 3.
Fig. 3: Adjusting Parking/Emergency Brake (Typical)
Courtesy of Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America.
Pickup & Ram-50
Fully release parking brake, and allow slack in rear cable to
prevent brake shoe drag. Adjust turnbuckle for 2WD models (turn
adjusting nut on equalizer for 4WD models) to obtain a brake lever
stroke of 16-17 notches with a force of 66 lbs. (29.9 kg). Ensure
equalizer is at right angle to joint.
REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOES
Set adjustment assembly so brake shoes outside diameter is 9.
97-9.98 in. (253.2-253.5 mm). After brake drum installation, depress
