If necessary, Clean the filings and apply a light smear of Graphite grease (high melting point grease) to each platform. Examine the adjuster assembly to see it is in good working order and ensure the adjuster nut is free to run the full length of the thread. Care must be taken to fit left and right hand thread nuts properly. 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 - High melting point grease. 2. Hand brake strut slots - Graphite grease. 3.
