Shoe adjuster is marked "R" or "L" for right or left side of vehicle.
- Apply multipurpose grease (SAE J310, NLGI No.2) onto all shoe contact points, adjuster assembly and parking brake attachment. Install shoe hold down pins. Assemble return spring with brake shoe adjuster shortened, and install. Fully retract shoe adjuster.
- After assembling drum components, pull parking brake lever completely up, then release, several times. Depress and release brake pedal. This will automatically adjust shoe clearance.
