Parking Brake Kick-Off Cam Removal,
Replacement and Installation.
Disconnect the parking brake release linkage as
described above. Loosen the two setscrews (5) from the
cam (6) and remove the cam pivot (7), cam and spacer
(8) (Ref. Fig. 31 on Page K-21).
Inspect the bushings (9,10) and spacer. If they are worn,
replace them with new ones.
Installation is in the reverse order of disassembly.
With the parking brake engaged and fully latched, there
must be no gap between the top of the cam and the
latch arm. To adjust the kick-off cam (6), engage the
parking brake and loosen the two cam setscrews (5) and
rotate the cam until it contacts the latch arm. Tighten the
setscrews to 45 - 55 in. lbs. (5 - 6 Nm) torque. Always
use new epoxy patch setscrews when replacing the kick-
off cam.
