To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe
eye protection when performing maintenance or
service.
Do not work under a vehicle supported only by
jacks. Jacks can slip or fall over and cause serious
personal injury.
1. Use a jack under the axle being serviced to raise
the vehicle.
2. Install jack stands under each corner of the vehicle
to hold it in position.
When you work on a spring chamber, carefully
follow the service instructions of the chamber
manufacturer. Sudden release of a compressed
spring can cause serious personal injury.
3. If the brake has spring chambers, carefully cage
and lock the spring so that the spring cannot
actuate during disassembly.
4. Fully release the slack adjusters so that the shoes
retract and the drums will clear the linings.
5. Use standard procedures to remove the wheels
and drums from the axle.
Remove Brake Shoes
Wear safe eye protection. Do not hit steel parts
with a steel hammer. Pieces can break off and
cause serious personal injury.
1. Remove any anchor pin snap rings, washers,
retainers, felts, seals or set screws, as needed.
2. Remove the top anchor pin with a brass drift.
