6. Repeat step 5 until the wheel and tire assembly can no longer be rotated by hand.
7. To adjust the brake shoes, turn the adjustment bolt
counterclockwise
until it clicks, and then rotate the
wheel and tire assembly by hand. Repeat this procedure until the wheel and tire assembly turns easily
by hand and there is still a very slight drag from the brake shoes on the drum. Use the following chart
as a guideline to determine the correct number of adjustment clicks.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for the opposite rear brake cluster.
9. Turn the nylon locknut on the rear equalizer rod clockwise to tighten the brake cables until there is 1/4
to 1/2 inch free play in the brake pedal. Measure and record the exact amount of free play for use in
adjusting the front brake cables.
10. Hold the nylon locknut (6) on the rear brake cable equalizer rod (3) with a wrench and tighten the jam
nut until it is secured against the equalizer
(Figure 6-28, Page 6-16, Detail B).
11. Install the rear wheels and finger tighten the lug nuts.
12. Lower the vehicle and finish tightening the lug nuts (using a crisscross pattern) to 55 ft-lb (74.58 N·m).
