REAR WHEEL BRAKE DRUM INSTALLATION
NOTE: Prior to installing the brake drum, inspect the brake lines, hoses, drums and brake cluster assem-
blies. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-2.
1. Place the drum (15) onto the axle and brake cluster (Figure 6-18, Page 6-20).
NOTE: If drum installation is difficult;
The brake shoes may need to be adjusted vertically in the mounting slots.
Rotation of the brake shoe adjusters may be necessary to create additional clearance between the
brake shoes and the brake drum (Figure 6-3, Page 6-8). Use a hydraulic brake adjuster (CCI
102169401) and torque wrench to gently rotate the adjusters.
2. Rotate and gently press the brake drum to ensure that the drum is properly seated.
3. With the brake drum properly seated, gently adjust the clearance between the brake shoes and brake
drum by turning each of the two adjusters on the brake cluster as shown (Figure 6-13, Page 6-16). Use
a hydraulic brake adjuster (CCI 102169401) and torque wrench. See following CAUTION.
∆ CAUTION
• Do not apply more than 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m) of torque to any of the adjuster bolts. Over-tightening the
adjuster bolts could result in damage to the brake cluster components or the separation of the bolt (4)
from the adjuster (3) (Figure 6-1, Page 6-2 or Figure 6-18, Page 6-20).
4. Install the wheel and finger-tighten the lug nuts.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the opposite rear wheel as required.
6. Lower the vehicle and finish tightening the lug nuts (using a crisscross pattern) to 55 ft-lb (74.6 N·m).
7. Perform all of the brake system inspections to ensure that both the hydraulic brake system and the park
brake system are adjusted and operating correctly before placing the vehicle into service. See Brake
System Inspection on page 6-2.
