Brake Cable and Equalizer Assembly
Removal and Installation
The brake cables and equalizer are only serviceable as a com-
plete assembly.
Remove the cotter pins and clevis pins connecting the
brake cables to the brake levers. Remove the retaining
rings connecting the brake cables to their brackets at the
axle (rear of cable) and at the frame (front of cable).
Loosen and remove the jam nut and the spherical nut on
the equalizer link (Ref. Fig. 27 on Page K-19). Inspect
the hardware and replace if needed. Remove the brake
cable and equalizer assembly and discard.
Slide the equalizer link of the new assembly over the
compensator rod. Loosely install the spherical nut and
new locking jam nut. Insert the cables into the frame and
axle brackets. Install new retaining rings. Connect the
cables to the brake levers using new clevis pins and
new cotter pins.
