BRAKE DRUMS

Front brake drums are the demountable type; that is,

they can be removed without removing the hub. Rear

brake drums are demountable and may be removed

wihtout removing the axle shaft.

A lanced "knock out" area (fig. 34) is provided in

the web of the brake drum for servicing purposes in

the event retracting of the brake shoes is required in

order to remove the drum.

A small screw driver or hooked wire may be inserted

to disengage the automatic adjuster actuating lever so

the star wheel may be turned.

Removal

1.
Raise vehicle and place on jack stand.
2.
Remove wheel and tire assembly, back off brake

adjustment and remove drum.

Inspection and Reconditioning

Whenever brake drums are removed they should be

thoroughly cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores,

deep grooves, and out-of-round. Any of these conditions

must be corrected since they can impair the efficiency

of brake operation and also can cause premature failure

of other parts.

Smooth up any slight scores by polishing with fine

emery cloth. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause

excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be

necessary to rebore in order to true up the braking

surface.

An out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe

adjustment impossible and is likely to cause excessive

wear of other parts of brake mechanism due to its

eccentric action.

A drum that is more than .008" out-of-round on the

diameter is unfit for service and should be rebored.

Out-of^round, as well as taper and wear can be ac-

curately measured with an inside micrometer fitted

with proper extension rods.

If drum is to be rebored for use with standard size

brake facings which are worn very little, only enough

metal should be removed to obtain a true smooth braking

surface.

If drum has to be rebored more than .020" over the

standard diameter, it should be rebored to .060" diameter

oversize and the brake facing should be replaced with

.030"
oversize facings.

A brake drum must not be rebored more than .060"

over the maximum standard diameter, since removal

of more metal will effect, dissipation of heat and may

cause distortion of drum. Chevrolet brake facing is

not furnished larger than .030" oversize and this will

not work efficiently in drums bored more than .060"

oversize.

Brake drums may be refinished either by turning or

grinding. Best brake performance is obtained by turning

drums with a very fine feed. To insure maximum lining

life,
the refinished braking surface must be smooth and

free from chatter or tool marks, and run-out must not

exceed .005" total indicator reading.

Cleaning

New brake drums in parts stock are given a light.

coating of rust proofing oil to prevent the formation of

rust on the critical braking surfaces during the time

that the drums are in storage.

This rust proofing oil must be carefully removed

before the drum is placed in service to prevent any

of this oil from getting on the brake shoe facings, which

might cause an extreme brake grab condition.

It is recommended that a suitable volatile, non-toxic,

greaseless type solvent be used to clean the oil from the

braking surface of the new brake drums before they are

•placed in service to insure the cleanest possible surface.

Gasoline or kerosene should not be used as there is

danger that a portion of the diluated oil substance may

be left on the braking surface that may later cause

difficulty.

Make brake adjustment as outlined in this section.

40—Installing Piston in Caliper Bore Using

Tool J-22591
Fig.
41—Installing Boot Seal in Caliper Bore

Using Tool J-22592

5.
Check the fit of the piston in the bore using a feeler

gage.
Clearance should be as follows:

2 1/16 inch Bore .0045 to .010

1 7/8 inch Bore .0045 to .010

1 3/8 inch Bore .0035 to .009

If the bore is not damaged, and the clearance exceeds

either of the upper limits, a new piston will be required.

Assembly

1.
Assemble the seal in the groove in the piston which

is closest to the flat end of the piston. The lip on

the seal must face toward the large end of the

piston. Be sure lips are in the piston groove and do

not extend over the step in the end of the groove.

2.
Place the spring in the bottom of the piston bore.

3.
Lubricate the seal with dean brake fluid.

4.
Install the piston assembly in the bore using appli-

cable piston rign compressor Tool J-22639, 22629

or 22591 as shown in Figure 40. Use care not to

damage the seal lip as piston is pressed past the

edge of the bore. .

5.
Assemble the boot in the groove of the piston closest

to the concave end of the piston. The fold in the boot

must face toward the end of the piston with the seal

on it.

6. Depress the pistons and check that they slide

smoothly into the bore until the end of the piston is

flush with the end of the bore. If not, re check piston

assembly and location of the piston spring and the

seal.

7.
Position applicable boot seal installer Tool J-22592,

J-22628, or J-22638 over the piston and seat the

steel boot retaining ring evenly in the counterbore

as shown in Figure 41. The boot retaining ring must

be flush or below the machined face of the caliper.

Any distortion or uneven seating could allow con-

taminating and corrosive elements to enter the bore.
8. Position the t:O}> rings in the small cavities around

the brake fluid transfer holes in both ends of the

outboard caliper halves. Lubricate the hex head

. bolts with Delco Brake Lube or clip in clean brake

fluid. Fit caliper halves together and secure with

bolts.
Refer to torque specifications in rear of

manual for correct torque valves.

Installation

1.
Carefully mount the assembled caliper over the edge

of the disc. Use a putty knife to depress pistons so

that the caliper can be lowered into position on the

disc (fig. 42). Use care to prevent damage to boots

• on the edge of the disc as the caliper is mounted.

2.
Secure the caliper to the mounting bracket with two

hex head bolts. Refer to torque specifications in

rear of manual for correct torque values.

CAUTION: If replacing old shoe assemblies,

be sure to get the shoes in the same position

from which they were removed. New shoe as-

semblies have an arrow printed on the back,

showing the direction of forward disc rotation.

3.
Install the shoe and lining assemblies as outlined in

this section.

4.
On Chevrolet and Corvette front calipers, place a

new copper gasket on the male end of the front

wheel brake hose. On all models, install brake hose

in the calipers. With the wheels straight ahead,

pass the female end of the brake hose through the

support bracket.

5.
Make sure the tube seat is clean and connect the

break line tube nut to the caliper. Tighten securely.

6. Allowing the hose to seek a normal position, without

twist, insert hex of the hose fitting into the 12-point

hole in the support bracket and secure it in place

with the "V"-shaped retainer. Turn the steering

geometry from lock to lock while observing the hose.
