NOTE:
The park brake shoes must be adjusted before the park brake pedal is adjusted.
- Set the Drum-to-Brake Shoe Clearance Gage (J 21177-A) so that it contacts the inside diameter of the rotor.
- Position the gauge over the shoe and the lining at the widest point.
- Turn the adjuster nut until the lining just contacts the gauge.
- Repeat steps 1- 3 for the opposite side.
- The clearance between the park brake shoe and the rotor is 0.6604 mm (0.026").
