While deriveting, ensure that the holes in the

shoe rim are not enlarged.

Clean the shoe rim to ensure a smooth even surface

for the lining.

Always use genuine linings during relining,

including the rivets supplied along with the

relining kit.

Clamp the lining evenly to the shoe rim, and start

riveting at the centre and progress outwards to the

end of the shoe. A flat ended anvil of the correct

diameter should be used against the rivet head and

the tubular shank of the rivet should be properly

clinched.

Care should be taken, since over riveting may crack

the lining. Ensure that no clearance exists between

the lining and the shoe rim.

Fit the hand brake operating lever to the trailing shoe

in the reverse order of removal.

Ensure that the spring plate convex side is towards

the retaining plate.

Make sure the lever is free to operate.

Do not contaminate the lining surface with oil or

grease.

Refit the shoes in accordance with the following

instructions :

FITTING SHOES

ASSEMBLING

Lightly smear the following parts with special grease

as given. Keep the grease away from the shoe linings

and all hydraulic parts.

1) Tips of new shoes - Graphite grease

2) Hand brake strut slots - Graphite grease.

3) Adjuster Pushrod Threads - Mineral oil base

grease.

Note :

When ever relining is done or new shoe is

fitted, ensure to fit new shoe return springs also.

Always fit new shoes in pairs to both the sides of

the vehicle. (RLH and RRH sides)

Do not polish lining with sand paper or emery paper. If

Refer to the illustration Fig. 15. Assemble Male (12)

and Female (9) pushrods (to its Min. length) with

adjuster nut (11) along with thermo clip (10), taking

care of the thermo clip position as shown on the

Fig.15 (Ensure to fit the thermo clip facing down for

satisfactory functioning of the auto adjuster

mechanism).

Assemble the abutment end spring (8) between the

shoes. Place the shoes, springs along with adjuster

in position on to the platforms of the back plate and

locate the spring (8) below the riveted abutment plate

and the shoes in the abutment groove. Hook the

shoe return spring (7) (short length coil) to the

leading shoe, with the adjuster assembly in its

minimum length condition, assemble the adjuster

assembly between the shoe webs. Attach the other

end of the shoe return spring (7) to the opposite end

of theTrailing shoe (3).Adjust the length of the adjuster

until the shoes will clear the wheel cylinder pistons.

Fit the pawl lever (18) to the spring dowel (20, 21, 22)

inserting one leg of the pawl between male push rod

end and shoe web of the leading shoe and the other

end of the pawl leg resting on the adjuster nut (11).

Hook the short end of the spring (19) into the hole in
