BRAKES 19 BRAKES 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. overshoes should be set to 294 to 294.5 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 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. F WHEEL CYLINDER SERVICING OVERHAULING THE WHEEL CYLINDER Wheel cylinder should be overhauled as per recommended service schedule. REMOVAL OF WHEEL CYLINDER (REAR) When removing or servicing wheel cylinders, it is necessary to drain the brake fluid from the system and remove the brake shoes. Attach a transparent (Vinyl) bleed tube to the bleed screw, having first removed its rubber dust cover. Unscrew the bleed screw 1/2 to 3/4 turn and pump out the fluid into a suitable container by operating the brake pedal. Remove the bleed tube. Remove the brake shoes as explained under “Removal of Shoes”. Remove the adaptor from the feed port along with the gasket. Remove the wheel cylinder from the wheel cylinder mounting bolts and take out the wheel cylinder from the back plate.
