Rotor Removed

Adjustment can be made with a standard brake gauge or with adjusting tool. Adjustment is performed with the complete brake assembly installed on the backing plate.

CAUTION:

Before adjusting the park brake shoes be sure that the park brake lever is in the fully released position. If the park brake lever is not in the fully released position, the park brake shoes can not be accurately adjusted.

  1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  2. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer to TIRE AND WHEEL, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  3. Remove the disc brake caliper from the caliper adapter. Refer to CALIPER, DISC BRAKE, FRONT, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  and/or CALIPER, DISC BRAKE, REAR, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  4. Remove the rotor from the axle shaft. Refer to ROTOR, BRAKE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    NOTE:

    When measuring the brake drum diameter, the diameter should be measured at the center of the area in which the park brake shoes contact the surface of the brake drum.

  5. Using (special tool #C-3919, Gauge, Brake Shoes), or equivalent, accurately  measure the inside diameter of the park brake drum portion of the rotor.

  8. Place (special tool #C-3919, Gauge, Brake Shoes), or equivalent over the park brake shoes. The special tool must be located diagonally across at the top of one shoe and bottom of opposite shoe (widest point) of the park brake shoes.
  9. Using the star wheel adjuster, adjust the park brake shoes until the lining on the park brake shoes just touches the jaws on the special tool.
  10. Repeat step 8 above and measure shoes in both directions.
  11. Install the brake rotor on the axle shaft. Refer to ROTOR, BRAKE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  12. Rotate the rotor to verify that the park brake shoes are not dragging on the brake drum. If park brake shoes are dragging, remove rotor and back off star wheel adjuster one notch and recheck for brake shoe drag against drum. Continue with the previous step until brake shoes are not dragging on brake drum.
  13. Install the disc brake caliper on the caliper adapter. Refer to CALIPER, DISC BRAKE, FRONT, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  and/or CALIPER, DISC BRAKE, REAR, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

    Before moving vehicle, pump brake pedal several times to ensure the vehicle has a firm enough pedal to stop the vehicle.

    NOTE:

    After park brake lining replacement, it is recommended that the park brake system be conditioned prior to use. This is done by making one stop from 25 mph on dry pavement or concrete using light to moderate force on the park brake lever.

  16. Road test the vehicle to ensure proper function of the vehicle's brake system.
