piston seals are positioned in grooves

in the cylinder bores and are used to

provide hydraulic sealing between the

cylinders and pistons (Fig. 7).

The cylinders are connected hydrau-

lically by means of internal passages

in the caliper housings and an external

transfer tube between the two halves

of the caliper assembly. One bleeder

screw and fluid inlet fitting is provided

on each caliper assembly.

The shoe and lining assemblies are

located in between parallel machined

abutments within the caliper, and are

supported radially by tabs on the

o'uter ends of the shoe assemblies (Fig.

46).
The shoes slide axially in the cali-

per abutments by means of the tabs

which ride on machined ledges (bridg-

es) when hydraulic pressure is applied

to the piston (Fig. 6). A shoe and lin-

ing assembly consists of friction mate-

rial riveted to a metal plate called the

shoe.
It is replaced as a unit. Clips are

attached to the top of the caliper to

retain the shoe and lining assemblies.

The caliper assembly is mounted on

the front wheel spindle to the rear of

the wheel vertical centerline.

ROTOR

The cast iron disc is of the ventilat-

ed rotor-type incorporating forty fins

and is attached to, and rotates with

the wheel hub. A splash shield bolted

to the spindle is used primarily to pre-

vent road contaminants from contact-

ing the inboard rotor and lining sur-

faces.
The wheel provides protection

for the outboard surface of the rotor.

DRUM BRAKE

The drum brake system employs

single anchor, internal expanding ancj

self adjusting brake assemblies.

The self-adjusting brake mechanism

consists of a cable, cable guide, ad-

justing lever, adjusting screw assem-

bly, and adjuster spring (Fig. 8). The

cable is hooked over the anchor pin at

the top and is connected to the lever

at the bottom. The cable is routed

along the webb of the secondary brake

shoe by means of the cable guide. The

adjuster spring is hooked to the pri-

mary brake shoe and to the lever. The

automatic adjuster operates only when

the brakes are applied while the vehi-

cle is moving rearward and only when

the secondary shoe is free to move

toward the drum beyond a predeter-

mined point.

FIG. 10—Parking Brake Control Assembly

With Manual Release—Typical

power unit with mounting bracket is

riveted to the control assembly. The

vacuum actuated piston within the

unit is connected by a rod to the

upper end of the release lever (Fig. 9).

The lower end of the release lever ex-

tends out for alternate manual release
in the event of vacuum power failure

or for optional manual release at any

time.

Hoses connect the power unit and

the engine manifold to a vacuum re-

lease valve in the transmission neutral

safety switch.
The anti-skid control system con-

sists of three major components (Fig.

39).
Mechanically driven electromag-

netic sensors at each rear wheel; an

electronic control module mounted

under the glove box; a vacuum pow-

ered actuator attached to a bracket on

the inside of the right front frame rail

under the toe board.

The sensors consist of steel rings

having teeth on their outer diameters,

pressed on each axle shaft just out-

board of the wheel bearing. The teeth

rotate past corresponding teeth on the

inside diameter of stationary steel

rings mounted in the bearing retain-

ers.
Also mounted in the retainers, are

ring-shaped permanent magnets and

coils of wire. Two wires from each

sensor connect the sensors to the con-

trol module.

The control module consists of solid

state electronic components sealed in

a container. It is connected to the sen-

sors and to a solenoid on the actuator.

The actuator is similar to a vacuum

brake booster and consists of three

parts.
A chamber divided by a vacuum

suspended diaphragm; a hydraulic cyl-

inder connected to the diaphragm; and

a solenoid connected electrically to the

control module.

IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

After any brake service work, ob-

tain a firm brake pedal before moving

the vehicle. Riding the brake pedal

(common on left foot application)

should be avoided when driving the

vehicle.

BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENTS—

DRUM BRAKES

The hydraulic drum brakes are

self-adjusting and require a manual

adjustment only after the brake shoes

have been relined, replaced, or when

the length of the adjusting screw has

been changed while performing some

other service operation. The manual

adjustment is performed with the

drums removed, using the tool and the

procedure detailed below.

When adjusting the rear brake

shoes,
check the parking brake cables

for proper adjustment. Make sure that

the equalizer operates freely.
To adjust the brake shoes:

1.
Use Rotunda Tool HRE 8650,

(Fig. 11) to determine the inside diam-

eter of the drum braking surface.

2.
Reverse the tool as shown in Fig.

11 and adjust the brake shoe diameter

to fit the gauge. Hold the automatic

adjusting lever out of engagement

while rotating the adjusting screw, to

prevent burring the screw slots. Make

sure the adjusting screw rotates freely.

If necessary, lubricate the adjusting

screw threads with a thin, uniform

coating of MIC-100-A.

3.
Rotate Tool HRE 8650 around

the brake shoes to be sure of the set-

ting.

4.
Apply a small quantity of high

temperature grease to the points

where the shoes contact the backing

plate, being careful not to get the lu-

bricant on the linings.

5. Install the drums. Install Tinner-

man nuts and tighten securely.

6. Install the wheels on the drums
and tighten the nuts to specification.

7.
Complete the adjustment by

applying the brakes several times with

a minimum of 50 lbs pressure on the

pedal while backing the vehicle. After

each stop the vehicle must be moved

forward.

8. After the brake shoes have been

properly adjusted, check the operation

of the brakes by making several stops

while operating in a forward direction.

WHEEL CYLINDER REPAIR-

DRUM BRAKE

Wheel cylinders should not be di-

sassembled unless they are leaking or

unless new cups and boots are to be

installed. It is not necessary to remove

the brake cylinder from the backing

plate to disassemble, inspect, or hone

and overhaul the cylinder. Removal is

necessary only when the cylinder is

damaged or scored beyond repair.procarmanuals.com

centrally
be-

tween
the two
halves
of the
caliper.

These should
be
approximately 0.090-

0.120 inch clearance between

and
install
the
caliper locat-

ing pins
to
engage approximately four

threads.

If
the
caliper locating pins
are
rust-

ed
or
corroded they should
be re-

placed.

Apply water
or
isopropyl alcohol
to

the caliper locating pins before instal-

lation.
Oil or

FRONT WHEEL HUB AND

ROTOR ASSEMBLY-

DISC BRAKES

REMOVAL

1.
Remove the wheel and tire from

the hub (Figs. 23 and 24). Be careful

to avoid damage or interference with

the bleeder screw fitting. On Lincoln

Continental models be careful to avoid

damage to the caliper splash shield or

transfer tube.

2.
Remove the caliper assembly

from the spindle and the rotor. If the

caliper does not require servicing, it is

not necessary to disconnect the brake

hose or remove the caliper from the

vehicle. Position the caliper out of the

way, and support it with a wire to

avoid damaging the caliper or stretch-

ing the hose. Insert a clean cardboard

spacer between the linings to prevent

the piston from coming out of the cyl-

inder bore while the caliper is re-

moved.

Handle the rotor and caliper assem-

blies in such a way as to avoid defor-

mation of the rotor and nicking,

scratching or contamination of the

brake linings.

3.
Remove the grease cap from the

hub.
Remove the cotter pin, nut lock,

adjusting nut, and flat washer from

the spindle. Remove the outer bearing

cone and roller assembly.

4.
Remove the hub and rotor as-

sembly from the spindle.

INSTALLATION

1.
If the rotor is being replaced, re-

move the protective coating from the

new rotor with carburetor degreaser.

Pack a new set of bearings with speci-
fied grease (M-1C75B), and install the

inner bearing cone and roller assembly

in the inner cup. Pack grease lightly

between the lips of a new grease seal

and install the seal (Figs. 23 and 24).

If the original rotor is being in-

stalled, make sure that the grease in

the hub is clean and adequate, that

the inner bearing and grease seal are

lubricated and in good condition, and

that the rotor braking surfaces are

clean.

2.
Install the hub and rotor assem-

bly on the spindle.

3.
Lubricate and install the outer

wheel bearing, washer and adjusting

nut.

4.
Adjust the wheel bearings to

specification, and then install the nut

lock, cotter pin, and grease cap. The

wheel bearing adjustment is especially

important with disc brakes.

5. Mount the caliper assembly on

the spindle following the Disc Brake
