Vehicle Systems Testing And Adjusting
Wheel Brakes
(3) Star wheel. (4) Bolt. (5) Tongue. (6) Plate. (7) Adjuster.
(8) Star wheel.
4. Turn star wheel (3) until a heavy resistance (drag)
is felt when the wheel is turned.
5. Put a thin blade screwdriver into the hole and hold
tongue (5) of plate (6) away from star wheel (3).
NOTE: Tongue (5) must be held away from star
wheel (3) as the adjustment wheel is turned back-
ward.
6. Put the brake tool through the hole, into a tooth on
star wheel (3) and turn wheel (3) backward until
there is no resistance (drag) on the wheel.
7. Turn wheel (2) until the hole is in alignment with
star wheel (8) of the brakes.
8. Do Steps 3 through 7 to adjust the other brake lin-
ing-to-drum clearance.
9. Test the brakes to be sure both wheels stop even-
ly when a brake application is made.
Brake Adjuster Installation
If the adjuster was removed to replace the housing
or adjuster, do the procedure that follows to center
the adjuster correctly.
Brake Adjuster
(3) star wheel. (6) Plate (8) Star wheel. (9) Screw. (10) Screw.
(X) Distance 1.05 mm (.041 in).
(Y) Distance 1.05 mm (.041 in). (Z) Distance 85 mm (3.35 in)
1. Check distance (X) and (Y) from the inside edge
of star wheels (3) and (8) to the rounded edge of
plate (6). Distance (X) or (Y) is 1.05 mm (.041 in)
maximum. Distance (X) + (Y) must be 1.0 to 1.6
mm (.039 to .063 in)
NOTE: Distances (X) and (Y) are adjustable with
shims behind the star wheels and should have to be
adjusted only if the adjuster is disassembled.
2. Next, check distance (Z) between the slots of
screws (9) and (10). Distance (Z) must be 85 mm
(3.35 in). Adjust screws (9) and (10) evenly to get
the correct distance and make sure the distance
between each screw and its star wheel is the
same.
3. Put the adjuster in position on the housing. Do not
tighten bolt (4) yet.
4. Install the wheel on drum. After installed, tighten
bolt (4) to a torque of 72 L 5 NIm (55 L 4 lbIft)
and do the manual brake adjustment.
Pedal Adjustment
The brake pedal must have enough free play to let
the master cylinder piston return to the release posi-
tion and open the relief outlet.
Hydraulic pressure in the brake lines goes back
through the relief opening and releases the brakes. If
there is no pedal free play, the pressure can not go
back through the relief opening, and the brakes will
tighten and not release.
