WARNING
• Make sure the C-clip is properly seated in the groove of the pin. An improperly installed C-clip
could result in a non-functioning park brake.
• Apply grease carefully when performing the following steps. Do not allow any grease to get on
the friction surfaces of the brake shoe pads. Failure to heed this warning could cause
diminished brake performance, possibly resulting in property damage or severe personal
injury.
10. Brush a light coat of white lithium NLGI Number 2 grease (Dow Corning BR2-Plus or equivalent) on each
of the six raised bosses on the back plate (Figure 6-9, Page 6-11). See preceding WARNING.
11. Brush a light coat of white lithium NLGI Number 2 grease (Dow Corning BR2-Plus or equivalent) to each
end of both brake shoes and into the slots in the brake shoe mounting block. Apply grease to the notches
in the mechanical park brake mechanism. (Figure 6-10, Page 6-11). See preceding WARNING.

BRAKE SHOE INSTALLATION
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.

WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after
the correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in
decreased braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only
DOT 5 brake fluid. See Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-31. See following
NOTE.
