CHECK FOR FRONT BRAKE AFTER INSTALLATION
Mount tires and make certain that they rotate smoothly, with a
force of less than 3.0 kg (6.6 Ib).
If tire rotation is heavy, check the following:
Piston, piston seal and cylinder slide bush of caliper for
installation.
Wheel bearings for breakage.
Disc for flatness (Improper flatness brings disc into contact
with lining during rotation and makes rotation heavy).
To check this, measure disc deflection.NOTE:
For above check the following must be observed.
Jack up front wheels, both right and left, off the
ground.
Shift transfer shift lever to 2H (rear wheel) position (if
equipped) and start engine for a few seconds then
stop.
Side figure shows outer periphery of tire.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal when checking
tire for rotation.

5) To increase clearance between brake shoe and brake drum,
remove rubber plug from brake back plate and turn adjuster
downward with flat-head screw driver.
6) Remove brake drum (1) off by using 8 mm bolts (2).
INSPECTION
Brake Drum
Inspect drum for cleanliness. Check wear of its braking surface by
measuring its inside diameter.
Drum inner diameter “a”
Standard : 220 mm (8.66 in.)
Service Limit : 222 mm (8.74 in.)
Whenever brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly
cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves.
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 neces-
sary to resurface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum
should be polished with fine emery cloth but should not 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.
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be
replaced at the same time.
Brake shoe thickness (lining + shoe rim) “a”
Standard (lining + rim) : 6.5 mm (0.26 in.)
Service limit : 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Before installing brake drum, check outer diameter of brake
shoes. If it is not within value as specified below, adjust it to
specification by turning adjuster (1).
Outer diameter of brake shoes
“a” : 219.4 - 219.7 mm (8.638 - 8.650 in.)
2) Install brake drum after making sure that inside of brake
drum and brake shoes are free from dirt and oil.
3) Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about
30 kg (66 lbs) load about 30 times so as to obtain proper
drum-to-shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable.
4) Install wheel and tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel nuts
(a) : 95 N·m (9.5 kg-m, 69.0 lb-ft)
5) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from dragging and
proper braking is obtained. Then remove vehicle from hoist
and perform brake test (foot brake and parking brake). NOTE:
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.
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.

2) Install shoe hold down springs (2) by pushing them down in
place and turning hold down pins (1).
3) Install shoe return spring and parking brake shoe lever
spring.
4) For procedure hereafter, refer to “Brake Drum” in this sec-
tion.
Wheel Cylinder
REMOVAL
1) Remove brake drum referring to “Brake Drum” in this sec-
tion.
2) Remove brake shoe referring to “Brake Shoe” in this section.
3) Loosen brake pipe flare nut (or nuts) but only within the
extent that fluid does not leak.
4) Remove wheel cylinder mounting bolts. Disconnect brake
pipe (or pipes) from wheel cylinder and put wheel cylinder
breather plug cap (1) onto pipe to prevent fluid from spilling.
INSPECTION
Inspect wheel cylinder disassembled parts for wear, cracks, cor-
rosion or damage.

2) Tighten wheel cylinder to brake back plate (1) to specified
torque.
3) Torque flare nut (or nuts) (2) of brake pipe which was con-
nected in step 1) to specification.
