3. With the upper ends of the shoes against the upper anchor pin, install two new shoe return springs. Install the short hooked end of each spring into the upper holes of the brake shoes and hook the opposite end of each spring over the anchor pin nib, using a suitable spring installation tool. Be sure the open end of the spring hook faces toward the brake centerline.

Transmission Mounted Parking Brake Assembly

1. Press the plug into the output flange if plug was previously removed. Apply sealer to the lip of the plug. Press into place with the lip of the plug facing outward. The plug must be flush with the edge of the bore.

2. Turn the case over and install the outer bearing cup into the case. Press in using Bearing Cup Replacer TB8T-2598-E (or equivalent) until the bearing cup bottoms in the bore.

8. Attach the brake assembly and backing plate to the case with four hex head bolts. Tighten the bolts to 118-123 N.m (87-91 ft-lb). Attach retracting spring to the actuating lever while bending the long end to snap over the lever.

9. Place the mainshaft in a vise with the flanged end up. Protect the shaft with soft jaw inserts.

10. Install the brake drum and output flange onto the flange end of the mainshaft.

Transmission Mounted Parking Brake Disassembly And Assembly:






11. Install the output flange onto the brake drum, aligning the marks made during disassembly (to make sure that the balance is not disturbed). Install the tour hex nuts and tighten to 113-117 N.m (83-87 ft-lb).

12. Remove the mainshaft with drum assembly from the vise. Turn the unit over and clamp it securely in the vise.
