Handbrake
Removal and refitting
. Place the handbrake lever in the
lowest position, disconnect the cable ends from the brake shoe
levers (see "Rear brake").
Slacken locknut 5 (see fig. 6-4) and adjusting nut 6, remove
return spring 9 (fig. 6-24), then completely undo the locknut and
nut.
Take out the front end pieces of the rear cable from the
brackets on the floor, and the cable sheath from the brackets on
the rear axle beam, and remove the rear cable 12.
Remove the lever protective cover and then the lever assem-
bly and the front cable.
Take out the pin and remove the thrust washer, disconnect
the front cable from the handbrake linkage lever.
The handbrake is refitted in reverse sequence with subse-
quent adjustment (see "Handbrake adjustment"). When refitting,
grease with ãàíéã-24 or ãëñ-15 the rear cable guide, the
handbrake lever shaft and the front cable end.
Check and repair.
Carefully inspect the components of the
handbrake mechanism.
If breakage or wire scuffing is detected, renew the cable.
Make sure, that the quadrant teeth and handle lock are not
damaged; worn components should be replaced.
Check the condition of the spring. It should provide the lever
return to the released position.
Inspect the rear cable sheath and the fastening of end pieces
on the sheath, and ensure, that the cable freely moves inside the
sheath. Replace the cable in case of sheath damage and loose
end piece fastening.
