Repair Procedure

1. Shoe Clearance Adjustment.





a. Disconnect parking brake cable ends from bellcrank at rear wheel backing plates.

b. Remove the 2 bellcrank springs.

c. Loosen the bellcrank adjusting bolt.

d. Remove rear wheels and temporarily install 3 lug nuts to secure each rear brake disc.

e. Remove rubber access hole plug.

f. Turn adjuster wheel upward until disc does not turn by hand.

g. Then turn adjuster wheel the opposite direction approximately 4 teeth.

HINT:
Because teeth do not make audible clicking noise, fine adjustment of shoe clearance may be necessary.

h. Install hole plug.

i. Repeat adjustment on opposite side of vehicle.

2. Inspection of Shoe Clearance Adjustment

a. Rotate rear brake disc and listen for rubbing noise.

b. Stop rotation at midpoint of shoe contact (loudest point of rubbing noise).

c. Pull bellcrank 3 times to center shoes in disc drum, and recheck rubbing noise and rotational drag.

NOTE:
If noise or drag is excessive (brake disc cannot be freely rotated by hand), readjust as per "e" and "g" of step 1.

3. Bellcrank Adjustment.

a. Pull bellcrank to remove slack in internal linkage.





b. Turn bellcrank adjusting bolt clockwise until rubber pad contacts backing plate.

c. Then turn adjusting bolt counterclockwise 1/2 turn and torque lock nut to achieve 0.5 mm backlash. Lock nut torque: 5.4 N.m (55 Kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf)

d. Reinstall springs (bellcrank to backing plate).

NOTE:
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 on opposite side of vehicle.

4. Parking Brake Cable Adjustment.





a. Loosen locknut turnbuckle while holding turnbuckle shaft.

b. Loosen cable and reconnect ends to both bellcrank.

c. Tighten cable and adjust so that rubber pads of both bellcrank stopper bolts fully contact backing plates without slack in cable.

d. Tighten turnbuckle lock nut. Lock nut torque: 5.4 N.m (55 Kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf)

e. Reinstall rear wheels and torque lug nuts. Lug nut torque: 131 N.m (1,340 Kgf.cm, 97 ft.lbf)

5. Inspection of Parking Brake Cable Adjustment.

a. Push up and down on bellcrank to ensure that rubber pads have enough contact with backing plates to prevent vertical movement.





b. Pull Parking Brake Cable slightly to ensure that rubber pad contact to backing plate is eliminated with minimal cable movement.

NOTE:
If contact is other than above description, readjust turnbuckle as needed.
