Drum Brakes:

1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
3. Remove the two drum retaining nuts and slide drum off hub assembly.





NOTICE: If the drum assembly will not come off for brake service, pry rubber plug from backing plate inspection hole and use the following procedure:

Remove the brake line-to-axle retention bracket. This will allow sufficient room for insertion of a screwdriver and brake tools to disengage adjusting lever and back-off the adjusting screw.
