Parking Brake
NOTE:
When rear drum brakes are serviced, the parking brake linkage cable at the equalizer must always be readjusted to prevent possible burn out of rear brakes.
- Lubricate parking brake linkage at equalizer and cable stud, and ensure free movement of cables. Depress parking brake pedal three ratchet clicks. Raise rear wheel. Hold brake cable from turning and tighten equalizer nut 1 turn at a time.
- Check for brake drag after each turn by turning wheel forward. When light drag is felt on both wheels, release parking brake. No drag should be present at either wheel.
