See sections 6.4.3.5 ADJUSTING THE WHEEL BEARINGS and 6.4.3.6 LUBRICATING THE WHEEL BEARINGS for hub
disassembly and reassembly and wheel bearing lubrication and adjustment.
When replacing the brake linings, check all the brake components.
- Condition of the drums.
- Condition of the cam shafts and levers, in particular check the play in the splines.
- Wear on the bushings.
- Condition of the bellows (depending on the model).
- Condition of the shoe return springs.
- Condition the fulcrums and their mountings (depending on the model).
- Check the rotation of the brake shoe rollers (if fitted) and lightly lubricate before reassembly.
Always replace any worn or damaged parts.
When reassembling, apply a thin coat of grease to all contact surfaces (cams, fulcrums, bushings, etc.) being careful to
avoid getting any grease on the drums and shoe linings.
For brakes with an adjustable fulcrum, centre the brake shoes before clamping the fulcrum:
When the hub/brake assembly has been reassembled, slacken the fulcrum nut slightly, and operate the brake lever
in the correct direction (direction of the actuator thrust) by pulling on the lever by hand. (It is easier if a pipe is
placed over the lever as shown in figure 9.4.5) to press the shoes against the drum.
Clamp the fulcrum while pressing on the lever.
If the nut is locked using a split cotter pin, always use a new cotter pin.
