MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTSDISC BRAKE MAINTENANCE
Checking Brake Fluid Level
The brake fluid level in the brake fluid container
must be checked during predelivery inspection, then
every 3,000 miles during inspection and preventive
maintenance servicing.
The brake fluid level must not be higher than the
inscription “MAX” and must be at least up to
“MIN”. Replenish brake fluid, if necessary.
Because of the relatively large brake caliper bore
cross section and the self-adjustment of the disc
brakes, resulting in a greater piston travel to compen-
sate for friction pad wear, the brake fluid level drops
faster than in fluid containers for drum brakes with
their smaller wheel brake cylinders. For this reason
pay special attention to the fluid level in the brake
fluid container.
Drop of brake fluid level can be due to friction pad
wear and may not be due to leakage in the braking
system.On loss of brake fluid due to leakage, the brake sys-
tem must be checked thoroughly.
Friction Pad Adjustment
Friction pad adjustment is not necessary on the front
wheel disc brakes as this is done automatically by the
pistons in the brake calipers.
Lubricating Front Wheel Bearings
When removing one or both brake discs, check lu-
brication of front wheel bearings and the cavity of
the wheel hub and replenish if necessary (see operat-
ion
“Removing and Reinstalling Brake Disc”).
When carrying out other work on disc brakes which
does not necessitate the removal and installation of
the brake disc, lubricating wheel bearings is not
necessary.Checking Disc Brake Friction Pads for Wear
Whenever a disc brake equipped car is in for periodic
service, while the car is raised, the friction pads in
both brake calipers should be checked for wear by
making a simple measurement. Worn or oily friction
pads must be replaced.
Measure friction pad wear as follows:
1. Remove friction pads.
2. Using a one-inch micrometer, measure the thick-
ness of the pad and friction plate. See Figure
5B-23.Figure 58-23 Checking Brake Friction Pad Thickness
3. If any one of the four measurements is less than
-.280, replace all four friction pads. (Partial replace-
ment of friction pads would cause unequal braking.)
Removal and Installation of Friction Pads
1. Raise car and remove front wheels.
2. Drive dowel pins out of brake calipers toward
center of car. See Figure
5B-24. Dowel pins must be
driven inward because they are secured by enlarge
fluted inner ends.
3. Remove friction pads from brake calipers. See
Figure
5B-25.

DISC BRAKES5B- 21caliper half collars and the clamp rings are correctly
positioned on rubber seals.
12. Install brake caliper on steering knuckle, torqu-
ing bolts to 72 lb.ft.or with an equivalent part, if replacement becomes
necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser
quality or substitute design. Torque values must be
used as specified during reassembly to assure proper
retention of this part.
CAUTION: This disc brake caliper attachments fas-
tener is an important attaching part in that it couldatExt the performance of vital components and sys-
tems, and/or could result in
ma@r repair expense. It
must be replaced with one of the
same part number13. Attach brake pipe to caliper and torque to 22

DESCRIPTION OF BRAKE MECHANISM
Wheel Brake Assemblies
Each rear wheel brake assembly uses two brake shoeswhich are actuated by a single wheel brake cylinder.
The center of the brake shoes are held against the
backing plate by a hold down pin, spring and re-
tainer. The bottom of the shoes pivot in a support
plate, and the top of the shoes rest directly on the
wheel brake cylinder push rods. The brake shoes are
connected by upper and lower return springs which
pull the sh6es back to resting position after applica-
tion. See Figure
5C-40.Two adjusting eccentrics at each wheel provide in-
dividual adjustment for each brake shoe to obtain
clearance with. the brake drum. An arrow on the
brake backing.plate circumference,shows direction in
which eccentrics must be turned to make adjust-
ment.

Parking Brake Control System
The hand-operated parking brake lever is mounted
between the front seats on the propeller shaft tunnel.
A paw1 is riveted into the parking brake lever and is
actuated by a control rod provided with a spring
loaded push button. When the parking brake is ap-
plied, the parking brake lever is locked by the
paw1which engages the teeth on a stop plate. The parking
brake is disengaged by pressing the spring loaded
push button. See Figure
5C-41.

the exception of the additional transmittal lever at
the floor panel, identical with that of the Opel mod-
els. The transmittal lever is attached to the propshaft
tunnel by means of a mounting support. See Figure
5C-42.The parking brake lever is connected with the front
parking brake pull rod. By means of an equalizer, the
front pull rod is connected to the forward portion of
a center cable. The center cable is routed rearward
through retaining guides and attaches at either end
to the lower end of a parking brake lever. See Figure
5C-43. The parking brake levers and struts actuate
the rear wheel brakes.
Service Brake Control System
-Standard Brakes
The service brake control system is a pedal operated
hydraulic system which applies the brakes at all four
wheels with equal pedal pressure. The hydraulic sys-
tem consists of a master cylinder (and attached trans-

disconnected, or when cables have been stretched
through extended use. Need for parking brake ad-
justment is indicated if the service brake operates
with good reserve, but the parking brake handle
can be engaged, more than eight ratchet clicks
under heavy pressure.
After making certain that service brakes are in good
adjustment, adjust parking brake mechanism as fol-lows:1. Fully release parking brake lever; check parking
brake cable for free movement.
2. Loosen equalizer nut or adjusting nut, depending
upon whether. tension is to be increased or decreased
on cable.
3. Pull parking brake lever up by three (3) clicks. In
this position, adjust equalizer with adjusting and
lock nuts so that rear brakes just begin to bind. Take
care that rear brake action is equal on both rear
wheels. In case of unequal brake action, apply lubri-
cant to equalizer and brake cable.
4. After adjustment, tighten lock nut. Be certain that
equalizer is in horizontal position. Check operation
of parking brake. If parking brake adjustment doesnot result in proper brake action, inspect linings on
both rear wheels for possible replacement.
Filling Brake Master Cylinder
ReservoirThe master cylinder reservoir must be kept properly
filled to insure adequate reserve and to prevent air
from entering the hydraulic system. However, be-
cause of expansion due to heat absorbed from brakff
and from engine, master cylinder must not be over-
tilled.
The plastic brake fluid reservoir is attached to the
master cylinder which is located under the hood on
the left side of the cowl.
Thoroughly clean reservoir cover before removal to
avoid getting dirt into reservoir. Remove cover and
add fluid as required to bring level up to “MAX.”
marked on reservoir.
Use Delco Supreme No. 11 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
or equivalent.
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid
which contains mineral oil. Do not use a container
which has been used for mineral oil. Even a trace of
mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of rub-
ber parts in the hyrdaulic brake system.
Bleeding Brake Hydraulic SystemA bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whe-
never it is introduced into the hydraulic brake sys-
tem. Since air is compressible and hydraulic fluid is
not, the presence of air in the system is indicated by
a springy, spongy feeling of the brake pedal accom-
panied by poor braking action.
Air will be introduced into the hydraulic system if
the brake pedal is operated when the fluid is too low
in master cylinder reservoir. Air will also enter the
system whenever any part of hydraulic system is
disconnected.
It will be necessary to bleed both hydraulic systems
if air has been introduced through low fluid level or
by disconnecting brake pipes at master cylinder. If
brake pipe is disconnected at any wheel cylinder,
then that wheel cylinder only need be bled. If pipes
are disconnected at any fitting located between mas-
ter cylinder and wheel cylinders, then the wheel
cylinder(s) served by the disconnected pipe must be
bled.
Sequence for Bleeding Wheel
Cylinders or CalipersIt is advisable to bleed one wheel cylinder or caliper

DRUM BRAKES5c- 31
remove grooves, and the ridges in the lining should
be lightly removed with a lining grinder.
If brake linings are more than half worn, but do not
need replacement, the drum should be polished with
fine emery cloth but should not be rebored. At this
stage, eliminating the grooves in drum and smooth-
ing the ridges on lining would necessitate removal of
too much metal and lining, while if left alone, the
grooves and ridges match and satisfactory service
can be obtained.
If brake linings are to be replaced, a grooved drum
should be rebored for use with oversize linings. A
grooved drum, if used with new lining, will not only
wear the lining but will make it
diff%xlt, if not im-
possible, to obtain etXcient brake performance.
Out-of-Round DrumAn out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe
adjustment impossible and is likely to cause excessive
wear of other parts of brake mechanism due to its
eccentric action. An out-of-round drum can also
cause brake pulsation. Maximum permissible drumrunout is 004”. A drum that has more run-out than
this should be rebored. Runout can be accurately
checked by using an inside micrometer fitted with
proper extension rods.
When measuring a drum for run-out, take measure-
ments at open and closed edges of machined surface
and at right angles to each other.
Turning Brake DrumsIf a brake drum is to be turned, enough metal should
be removed to obtain a true, smooth braking surface.
Measure brake drum diameter; standard drum inner
diameter is 9.060”. Drums may be turned to an over-
size of ,030”. If maximum inner diameter after turn-
ing exceeds 9.090”, brake drum will have to be
replaced. Removal of more metal will affect dissipa-
tion of heat and may cause distortion of the drum.
1. Remove rear wheels and drums.
2. Mount brake drum on brake drum lathe and turn
drums as necessary, within limits.
3. After turning, check drum diameter. Inner diame-
ter not to exceed 9.090.
4. A newly-bored drum should always have center
contact with brake shoes. For this reason, arc grind
linings to
.OlO” under drum radius, or to ,020” under
drum diameter.
5. Clean and install drums and wheels.
BRAKE WHEEL CYLINDER OVERHAUL1. Remove wheel, drum, and brake shoes. Be careful
not to get grease or dirt on brake lining.
2. Disconnect brake pipe or hose from wheel cylinder
and cover opening with tape to prevent entrance of
dirt. Remove wheel cylinder from backing plate.
3. Remove boots, pistons, cups, and spring from cyl-
inder. Remove bleeder valve.
4. Discard rubber boots and piston cups. Thoroughly
clean all other parts with hydraulic brake fluid orDeclene. Do not use anti-freeze, alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, or any other cleaning fluid that might con-
tain even a trace of mineral oil.
5. Inspect pistons and cylinder bore for scores, scrat-
ches, or corrosion. Light scratches may be polished
with crocus cloth. Do not use emery cloth or sandpa-
per.
Shght corro~on may be cleaned wth tine steel
wool. If scratches or corroded spots are too deep to
be polished satisfactorily, the cylinder should be re-
placed since honing is not recommended.
6. Dip internal parts in brake fluid and reassembly
wheel cylinder. When installing piston cups, use care
to avoid damaging the edges.
7. If the rear wheel backing plate is removed: Always
install new paper gaskets one on each side
- on the
backing plate. Prior to installation, lightly coat paper
gaskets with chassis lubricant. Torque backing plate
to rear axle housing bolts to 43
lb.ft. and wheel brake
cylinder to backing plate bolts to 5
lb.ft. Install wheel
cylinder on brake backing plate and connect brake
pipe or hose.
8. Install brake shoes, drum, and wheel, then flush
and bleed hydraulic system.
9. Adjust brakes, then road test car for brake per-
formance.
CAUTION:This brake backing plate to rear axle fis-
tener is an important attaching part in that it could
affect the performance of vital components and sys-
tems, and/or could result in major repair expense. It
must be replaced with one of the same part number
or with an equivalent part, if replacement becomes
necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser
quahty or substitute design. Torque v&es must be
used as specified during reassembly to assure proper
retention of this part.
REPLACING BRAKE PIPESAny brake pipe assembly which is needed must be
made up from service bulk tubing and fittings. All
brake pipes must be made of tin or copper coated
wrapped steel tubing with the ends double lap flared.

5C- 321973 OPEL SERVICE MANUAL
Never use copper tubing because copper is subject to
fatigue cracking which would result in brake failure.2. Cut tubing to length. The correct length may be
determined by measuring the old pipe using a cord
and adding l/8” for each double lap flare.
To make up a brake pipe assembly, proceed as fol-
lows:3. Double lap flare tubing ends, using a suitable flar-
ing tool such as J-8051. Follow the instructions in-
cluded in the tool set. Make sure fittings are installed
1. Procure the recommended tubing and fittings of
the correct size. (Outside diameter of tubing is used
to specify size.)before starting second flare.
4. Bend pipe assembly to match old pipe.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE CONSTRUCTION
Engine UsageThe 1.9 liter engine is standard equipment on all 1973
Opel
1900, Manta and GT models. This engine has
a compression ratio of
7.6:1 and operates on“regular” low lead grade fuel.
Engine ConstructionThe
cyfinderhead is made of high-grade chromium
grey cast iron. The valve guides are cast intergal with
the head. The overhead camshaft is supported in four
bearings in the cylinder head.Location of the
vzllve seats in combustion chamber
is above the center of cylinder bore. The spark plug
is positioned in the center and near the highest point
of combustion chamber. This arrangement provides
for short flame travel, uniform combustion and good
cold start prop&ties. Exhaust valves have seat in-serts of highly heat and water resisting material. The
head surface is alumetized and so are the seats of the
inlet v&es Alumetizing makes the valve heads
non- scaling and promotes long life. All engines have“rota-caps”.
The forged, five main bearing crankshaft has large-
diameter main and connecting rod bearing journals
with considerable overlap for vibration-free operat-
ion. T&metal bearing shells are used for main and
connecting rod bearings. The crankshaft end play is
controlled by the rear main bearing.

ENGINE MECHANICAL AND MOUNTS6A- 5
incorporating a gear-type pump driven by the dis-
tributor shaft. The pump body forms part of the
timing case. A passage cast in cylinder block and a
suction pipe connect the pump to the screen cover
assembly in the sump of the oil pan.
The oil pump pressure relief valve is located in the
engine oil pump cover. See Figure 6A-3. The pres-
sure relief valve serves to feed surplus oil back into
the suction passage should the required oil pressure
be exceeded. The old oil pressure relief valve which
is located above the oil filter is inoperative. A heavier
spring has been installed to keep the valve seated at
all times.
The oil filter is of the full flow type. With it in paral-
lel is a by-pass system controlled by a valve in the
timing chain cover above the oil filter which ensures
oil circulation directly to lubrication points if ele-
ment becomes clogged by dirt or oil is too thick to
pass through. Only when oil flow through element is
unrestricted the by-pass valve will close and filtered
oil is fed to the engine.
Oil flow through the engine is as follows: The oil
pump draws oil from the sump through the screenand pumps it through drilled passages in timing case
to the full flow filter. From there it passes to the
cylinder block main oil gallery with a branch in tim-
ing case to no. 1 camshaft bearing. Drilled passages
lead from the oil gallery to crankshaft main bearings
and in the crankshaft from main bearings to connect-
ing rod bearings. The camshaft front journal has a
crescent shaped groove which controls the oil supply
to cylinder head oil gallery. The cylinder head oil
gallery delivers oil under pressure to all valve lifters,
to Nos. 2, 3 and 4 camshaft bearings, and to rocker
arm seats. An additionally drilled passage connects
the valve lifter circular groove with circular groove
of rocker arm stud from where the oil is directed
upwards through a drilled passage to the rocker arm
seat. The cams are lubricated by oil under pressure.
Surplus oil collects at end of cylinder head and re-
turns through a passage to the crankcase. A cali-
brated squirt hole in connecting rod big end bearing
sprays oil against right-hand side of cylinder wall:
Additional cylinder wall and piston pin lubrication
is through oil splash from crankshaft. A jet in timing
case projects oil against oil pump drive, and the tim-
ing chain receives lubrication from above the chain
tensioner.
