GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DRUM BRAKE ASSEMBLY
The drum brake assembly has a self shoe clearance adjusting system so that drum-to-shoe clearance is main-
tained appropriate at all times. Rear brake is a drum type. It uses leading trailing operation when brake pedal is
depressed and when parking brake is applied on level road.
It also uses duo servo operation when parking brake is applied on gradient road and load is applied in longitudinal
direction of vehicle.
NOTE:
Replace all components included in repair kits to service this drum brake. Lubricate parts as specified.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The torque
values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

Cracked, Scored, or Grooved Drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause
excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be necessary to re-
surface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum should
be polished with fine emery cloth but should no be turned.
NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder for
brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.
Brake Shoe
Where lining is worn out beyond service limit, replace shoe.
Thickness ªaº
Standard: 6.5 mm (0.24 in.)
Service limit: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be replaced
at the same time.
CAUTION:
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished with
sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage drum. When it is required to correct
lining, replace it with a new one.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of the section.
1) Before installing brake drum, check outer diameter of brake
shoes. If it is not within value as specified below, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning adjuster.
Outer diameter of brake shoes
ªaº: 219.4 ± 219.7 mm (8.638 ± 8.650 in.)
