DIAGNOSTIC STEP(s)
To prevent unexpected movement of the vehicle and possible serious personal injury or
death, park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, set the parking brake, turn the engine off
and chock the wheels to prevent vehicle from moving in both directions.
To prevent property damage, personal injury and / or death, parking brake front cable
must have 1.50 inches (38 mm) or more of thread engagement in the adjustment
turnbuckle.
Step 1: Release park brake, remove drum and inspect for heat damage to drum or linings. Also inspect adjustment cable for damage See figures
below:

Service Procedure
Note: Follow all steps below to adjust driveline parking brake after inspection and replacement of parking brake components.
Adjustment With Drum OFF Primary Procedure
1. Use a 12inch caliper, or inside micrometer, to measure the inside diameter of the drum. Subtract 0.025 inches from the drum inside diameter
measurement. Set the measurement caliper to this value, and lock the set screw.
2. Rotate the axle input flange yoke as necessary to provide clearance for the measurement caliper.
3. Place the pre-adjusted caliper over the shoes at the center of the shoes.
4. To adjust brake, rotate the starwheel until the shoes touch the measurement caliper jaws. It is necessary to disengage the adjuster lever away
from the starwheel.

Figure #5: Shoe to Drum Running Clearance
Adjustment with Drum Installed - Alternate Procedure
1. With the engine off, the battery disconnected, and the tires blocked to prevent vehicle movement, place transmission in neutral and fully release
the parking brake. It will be necessary to raise the rear wheels off the ground, in order to allow rotation of the drum. Support the vehicle with
suitable floor stands
2. Insert the adjuster lever tool or a thin flat bladed screw driver through the adjusting slot in the backplate and push on the adjuster lever to
disengage it from the adjuster starwheel. Insert a brake adjusting tool (or flathead screwdriver) through the adjusting slot and move the starwheel
teeth downward to expand the brake shoes outward. Continue expanding the shoes until the drum can not be rotated by hand.
3. Now adjust the starwheel teeth upward to retract the shoes until the drum just begins to rotate freely by hand (without drag from the shoes).

Refer to figure 9.
Figure #9: Park Brake Dampener
3. Discard damper.
4. Once damper is removed, rubber pad on park brake pedal will need to be adhered to the pedal using LOCTITE 430 obtained locally. Add 5 dots
about 1/4" in diameter, one in each corner and one in the middle of the pedal.
Note: after removal pedal will fully return at a faster rate.

1. Make Certain extension/clamps on intermediate cable are aligned and not touching park brake cable. This will ensure that park brake cable has no
restrictions to fully release and apply. Refer to figure 10.
Figure #10: Clamps Aligned and Not Touching Park Brake Cable
Rear Cable Support Bracket/ Cable Spring Assembly Alignment.
1. Make certain bracket and cable spring assembly are at a 90 degree (straight up and down). This will ensure spring assembly does not come in
contact with frame upon park brake release or apply. Please refer to figure 11.
2. If not aligned please loosen two bolts, adjust and re-tourqe bolts to 41- 50 ft lbs (56-68 nm)
