Brake Shoes, Rear

The service and repair of the parking brake assembly start with rear wheel removal and caliper assembly disassembly without hose disconnect. After releasing the parking brake you can remove the rear disk through alignment of the hub matchmarks before adjusting the shoe if required until wheel motion becomes free. After using needle-nose pliers to disconnect the 2 shoe return tension springs detach the tension spring and slide out the assembly alongside the shoe hold-down compression spring, 2 cups and shoe hold-down compression spring pin No. 1. Start by disconnecting the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set alongside the parking brake shoe strut LH and then parking brake shoe assembly LH No. 2 using a return spring disconnection method followed by sliding out the assembly and removing the shoe hold-down compression spring, 2 cups and shoe hold-down compression spring pin No. 2 for parking brake cable No. 3 conversion from parking brake shoe lever. Uninstall the parking brake shoe lever LH through removal of the C-washer and shim part. A brake drum gauge should be used to check the brake disc's inside diameter against the specified 190 mm standard and 191 mm maximum limits while a ruler should evaluate parking brake shoe lining thickness to confirm the standards between 2.5 mm and 1.0 mm. An examination for correct brake disc and shoe lining contact requires measuring and adjusting the brake lining when necessary after applying chalk between them. First apply high-temperature grease to the attachment area between backing plate and shoe and then install parking brake shoe lever LH with new C-washer and perform clearance measurement before replacing shim if necessary. After installing the parking brake shoe assembly LH No. 2 and joining the parking brake cable No. 3 users must add grease to the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set before adding the parking brake shoe strut LH and parking brake shoe assembly LH No. 1 with all its components. First install all components correctly while avoiding any oil or grease contamination on friction areas before installing the rear disc. Next adjust the parking brake shoe clearance by putting on the hub nuts temporarily while removing the hole plug for shoe adjustment until disc locking occurs. Afterward contract the adjuster once for smooth rotation until reaching 8 notches. Finish the process by fitting the rear disk brake caliper assembly LH then add the rear wheel and torque it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Lastly, check and align the parking brake pedal travel before adjusting when needed.

Release the parking brake to remove the rear disc, ensuring to align matchmarks on the disc and axle hub; if removal is difficult, adjust the shoe until the wheel turns freely.

Reinstall the rear disc and adjust the parking brake shoe clearance by temporarily installing the hub nuts, removing the hole plug, and turning the adjuster to expand the shoes until the disc locks, then contracting the adjuster until the disc rotates smoothly, returning eight notches.
