3. After the installation, adjust the parking brake, and inspect the following.

  • If there is any malfunction, adjust the part.
  (1) Depress the brake pedal a few times, then verify that the brakes do not drag.
  (2) Inspect the pedal-to-floor clearance.
  (3) Inspect the parking brake lever stroke.

  Caution

  • The securing part of the parking brake cable could be damaged if the parking brake lever is pulled when the hub knuckle and brake drum component are removed. Always operate the parking brake lever only when the hub knuckle and brake drum component are installed.

  Note

When the brake drum and shoes are removed, verify the clearance and adjust if necessary by rotating the adjust screw using a flathead screwdriver. (See BRAKE SHOE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT)
