SAFARI

25 BRAKES 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) Fig. 26 Do not polish lining with sand paper or emery paper. If lining is polished with sand paper or emery paper, hard particles of sand paper will be deposited in the lining resulting in damage of drum surface. Brake lining Standard Service Limit Lining Thickness above 3-3.9 mm 0.5 mm (rivet head) 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 sat isfactory funct ioning 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 SHOE LINING
