Removal & Installation (Swift With Integral Hub)

NOTE: Swift with integral hub does not have threaded 8mm holes to allow drum removal without removing hub. Removing drum from hub requires pressing out wheel studs.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheel and spindle dust cap. Unstake and remove spindle nut. Ensure parking brake is fully released. Remove parking brake lever cover. Loosen adjustment nut on parking brake cable.
  2. To increase drum-to-shoe clearance, remove plug from back side of backing plate. Insert screwdriver into hole until it contacts shoe hold-down spring. Push screwdriver in and toward front of vehicle, depressing hold-down spring and releasing tension on parking brake lever.
  3. Remove brake drum using Slide Hammer (09942-15510) and Adapter (09943-17911). If replacing drum, use hydraulic press to remove wheel studs and separate hub and drum. Install new drum to hub using NEW wheel studs.
  4. Install brake drum using NEW spindle nut. Tighten spindle nut to specification and restake. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Install backing plate plug. Adjust brake shoes and parking brake. See PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE  under ADJUSTMENTS.
