SAFARI

26 BRAKES the pawl lever (18) and use pliers to attach the opposite end of the spring on to the shoe web (2). Fit the shoe hold down springs (6), cup washer (5) and pins (4) to both the shoes. Remove the elastic band from around the wheel cylinder and reduce the length of the adjuster assy. until the shoes rest on the wheel cylinder pistons. Fit the hand brake cable to the lever on the trailing shoe, ensuring the cable is correctly located in the end of the lever. Note : The cable should just be tight without pulling the hand brake lever from the 'fully off' position. Ensure that the shoe linings (2/3) are free from oil and grease. During servicing of shoes/replacement, the brake dia. over shoes should be set to 280.5 to 281.5 mm by adjusting the ratchet. This is to have minimum clearance between shoes and drum. Clean the exterior of the drum with a wire brush and wipe the inside with a clean rag. Note : If the drum looks poor in condition, or is scored inside where the brake shoes contact, fit a new drum. Offer the drum to the brake and adjust the length of the adjuster until it is only just possible to fit the drum over the brake shoes. Check the pawl is in contact with the adjuster nut on the adjuster (Fig. 7) and fit the drum. Repeat procedure with the opposite rear brake and operate the foot brake through its full stroke 10 to 20 times. Check the movement of the hand brake and road test the vehicle.
