- Place a reference mark (1) on the 2nd coast brake piston rod (2) where the piston rod meets the transaxle case.
- Apply 392-785 kPa (57-114 psi) of compressed air into the 2nd coast brake apply passage (2).
- Measure the distance between the reference mark and the transaxle case using a feeler gage (1) to obtain the 2nd coast brake piston stroke.
- The 2nd coast brake piston stroke should fall within 1.5-3.5 mm (0.059-0.138 in) (3)
- If the 2nd coast brake piston stroke exceeds specification, inspect the 2nd coast brake band for excessive wear or damage
- Remove the 2nd coast brake servo cover snap ring (1) from the transaxle case.
Important: When using compressed air to remove components, air to remove components, air pressure should not exceed 98 kPa (14 psi).
- Remove the following components from the transaxle case (2) by slowly applying low pressure compressed air into the 2nd coast brake servo apply passage (1):
- The 2nd coast brake servo cover
- The 2nd coast brake piston
- The 2nd coast brake piston outer return spring
- Remove the forward and direct clutch assemblies (3, 2) from the transxle case by grasping the input shaft (1) and lifting the shaft upward.
