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

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
In most cases, complete disassembly
of the power steering gear will not be
necessary. It is suggested that only
those assemblies that are faulty be dis-
assembled. Disassembly and reassem-
bly of the unit and the subassemblies
must be made on a clean workbench.
As in repairing any hydraulically op-
erated unit, cleanliness is of utmost
importance. Therefore, the bench, 
tools,
 and parts must be kept clean at
all times. Thoroughly clean the exter-
ior of the unit with a suitable solvent
and when necessary, drain as much of
the hydraulic oil as possible. Handle
all parts very carefully to avoid nicks,
burrs,
 scratches and dirt, which could
make the parts unfit for use. Do not
clean, wash or soak seals in cleaning
solvent. 
VALVE CENTERING
SHIM REPLACEMENT
1.
 Hold the steering gear over a
drain pan in an inverted position and
cycle the input shaft several times to
drain the remaining fluid from the
gear.

DESCRIPTION
The Rotary Valve Safety power
steering gear operates entirely on dis-
placing fluid to provide hydraulic fluid
pressure assists only when turning. As
the entire gear assembly is always full
of fluid, all internal components of the
gear are immersed in fluid making
periodic lubrication unnecessary. In
addition, this fluid acts as a cushion 
to absorb road shocks that may be
transmitted to the driver. All fluid
passages are internal except the pres-
sure and return hoses between the
gear and pump.
The rotary valve provides a smooth
transmission through the driving range
of steering wheel effort. A torsion bar
transmits the road feel to the driver. 
Response of the steering gear to effort
applied to the steering wheel has been
greatly increased.
The rack-piston nut is one piece and
is geared to the sector shaft. Lash be-
tween the sector shaft and rack-piston
nut is maintained by an adjusting
screw which is retained in the end o\'
the shaft uear (Eiiz.l).
IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS
During the breaking in period of
the vehicle, it is probable that some
of the factory adjustments will change.
These changes in adjustment do not
necessarily affect the satisfactory op-
eration of the steering gear assembly
and ordinarily do not require re-ad-
justment unless there is excessive lash
or other malfunctioning. The only ad-
justment that should be performed in
the vehicle is the total over center
position load (mesh load) to eliminate
excessive lash between the sector shaft
and rack teeth.
MESH LOAD ADJUSTMENT
1.
 Disconnect the Pitman arm from 
the sector shaft and remove the steer-
ing wheel hub.
2.
 Disconnect the fluid return line
at the reservoir; at the same time cap
the reservoir return line pipe.
3.
 Place the end of the return line
in a clean container and cycle the
steering wheel in both directions as
required, to discharge the fluid from
the gear.
4.
 Turn the gear 1/2 turn off cen-
ter (either direction). Using a 24 in-
lb torque wrench on the steering wheel
nut, determine the torque required to
rotate the shaft slowly through a 20
degree arc.
5.
 Turn the sear back to center and 
repeating the method of reading tor-
que as in Step 4, above, loosen the
adjuster lock nut, turn the screw in-
ward with a 7/32-inch Allen wrench
until the reading is equal to 6 in-lbs
in excess of Step 4 above, and retigh-
ten the lock nut while holding the
screw in place.
6. Recheck the readings and re-
place the Pitman arm and the steering
wheel hub.
7.
 Connect the fluid return line to
the reservoir and fill the reservoir
with C1AZ-I9582-A Fluid to the
proper level.

 —Adjusting Side Bearing Preload—Typical
at this time to be sure that it is still
loose.) Tightening the left nut moves
the ring gear into the pinion to de-
crease backlash, and tightening the
right nut moves the ring gear away.
3.
 Install a dial indicator as shown
in Fig. 14.
4.
 Tighten the right nut until it first
contacts the bearing cup. Then pre-
load the bearings from 0.008-0.012
inch case spread. Rotate the pinion
gear several revolutions in each direc-
tion while the bearings are loaded, to
seat the bearings in their cups to be
sure no bind is evident. This step is
important.
5. Again loosen the right nut to re-
lease the pre-load. If there is any
backlash between the gears as shown
by the dial indicator,(Fig.l2 or Fig. 10
Part 4-4) tighten the left nut just en-
ough to remove this backlash. At this
time,
 make sure that one of the slots
in the left nut is so located that the
lock can be installed without turning
the nut. Carefully, tighten the right
nut until it just contacts the cup.
6. Torque the differential cap bolts
to specification.
On integral carrier type axles, set a
preload of 0.008 to 0.012 inch case
spread for new bearings and 0.003 to
0.005 for the original bearings.
On removable carrier type axles,
the preload is 0.008 to 0.012 inch case
spread for new bearings and 0.005 to
0.008 for the original bearings. As
preload is applied from the right side,
the ring gear is forced away from the
pinion and usually results in the cor-
rect backlash.
7.
 Measure the backlash on several
teeth around the ring gear. If the
measurements vary more than 0.003
inch (both integral and removable car-
rier) there is excessive runout in the 
gears or their mountings, which must
be corrected to obtain a satisfactory
unit. If the backlash is out of specifi-
cation, loosen one adjusting nut and
tighten the oposite nut an equal a-
mount to move the ring gear away
from or toward the pinion. When
moving the adjusting nuts, the final
movement should always be made in a
tightening direction. For example, if
the left nut had to be loosened one
notch, loosen the nut two notches,
then tighten it one. This insures that
the nut is contacting the bearing cup,
and that the cup cannot shift after
being put in service. After all such ad-
justments, check to be sure that the
case spread remains as specified for
the new or original bearings used.
8. Again check the tooth contact
pattern. If the pattern is still incor-
rect, a change in pinion location (shim
thickness) is indicated.
PINION LOCATION
Removable Carrier Type Axle
1.
 Remove the attaching bolts and
the pinion and bearing retainer assem-
bly from the carrier.
2.
 Measure the original shim thick-
ness with a micrometer. Increase or
decrease the shim thickness as indicat-
ed by the tooth pattern check des-
cribed in Section 1.
3.
 Replace the pinion retainer O-
ring (Fig. 39, Part 4-2). Coat the O-
ring with axle lubricant before install-
ing. Do not roll the O-ring into the
groove. Snap it into position.
4.
 Being careful not to pinch the
O-ring, install the pinion and bearing
retainer assembly in the carrier with
the corrected shim pack.
Before installing the pinion and
bearing retainer assembly, determine
which type of gear set is being used. 
The non-hunting and pantial non-
hunting types can be identified by the
paint timing marks on the gear teeth
(Fig. 51, Part 4-2). Part 4-5 can also
be referred to for identification.
If the gear set is of the non-hunting
or partial non-hunting type clean the
teeth on both the pinion and drive
gear so that the timing marks are vis-
ible.
 Rotate the differential case and
ring gear assembly in the carrier until
the marked teeth on the ring gear are
opposite the pinion entry hole. Place
the assembly in the carrier so that the
marked tooth on the pinion indexes
between the marked teeth on the ring
gear (Fig. 51, Part 4-2).
In almost every case of improper
assembly (gear assembled out of time)
the noise level and probability of fai-
lure will be higher than they would be
with properly assembled gears.
When installing the hunting type
gear set (no timing marks), assemble
the pinion and retainer assembly into
the carrier without regard to the
matching on any particular gear teeth.
5.
 Install the retainer-to-carrier
mounting bolts and torque to specifi-
cations.
6. Adjust the backlash between the
ring gear and pinion as outlined in the
foregoing procedures.
7.
 Make a tooth pattern check. If
the pattern is still unsatisfactory, re-
peat this procedure changing the shim
thickness each time until a satisfactory
tooth pattern is obtained.
Integral Carrier Type Axle
1.
 Remove the differential case and
the drive pinion from the carrier cast-
ing, and then remove the pinion bear-
ings as described under Removal of
Differential Case and Drive Pinion in
Section 4.
2.
 Measure the original shim thick-
ness with a micrometer. Increase or
decrease the shim thickness as indicat-
ed by the tooth pattern check des-
cribed in the foregoing Section 1 and
shown in Fig. 4.
3.
 Install the corrected shim pack
and the bearings on the pinion, and
then install the pinion and the differ-
ential case in the carrier casting as
outlined under Installation of Drive
Pinion and Differential Case in Sec-
tion 4 of Part 4-3.
4.
 Adjust the backlash between the
ring gear and pinion as outlined in the
foregoing procedure.
5.
 Make a tooth pattern check. If
the pattern is still unsatisfactory, re-
peat this procedure changing the shim
thickness each time until a satisfactory
tooth pattern is obtained.procarmanuals.com

3.
 Install the bench testing tool on
the transmission.
4.
 Remove the
 1/8-inch
 pipe plug
at the transmission case. Turn the
front pump in a clockwise direction at
75-100 rpm until a regular flow of
transmission fluid leaves the hole in
the transmission case. This operation 
bleeds the air from the pump.
5.
 Install the pressure gauge (77820
or T57L-77820-A) as shown in Fig.
13.
PRESSURE TESTS
Turn the front pump at 75-100 rpm 
and note the gauge readings. The
pressure readings on the bench test
must be within the limits as outlined
in Figure 13, for the engine idle check.
If pressure gauge readings are with-
in limits in all selector lever positions,
install the vacuum diaphragm control
rod unit.
COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS
TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN
AND REFILL
Normal maintenance and lubrica-
tion requirements do not necessitate
periodic automatic transmission fluid
changes.
If a major repair, such as a clutch
band, bearing, etc., is required in the
transmission, it will have to be re-
moved for service. At this time the
converter, transmission cooler and
cooler lines must be thoroughly
flushed to remove any dirt.
When filling a dry transmission and
converter, install five quarts of fluid.
Start the engine, shift the selector
lever as outlined below, and check and
add fluid as necessary.
Following are the procedures for
partial drain and refill due to in-
vehicle repair operation.
C4 TRANSMISSION
1.
 On PEA models, disconnect the
fluid filler tube from the transmission
oil pan to drain the fluid.
On PEB and PEE models, loosen
the pan attaching bolts to drain the
fluid from the transmission.
2.
 When the fluid has stopped
draining from the transmission, re-
move and thoroughly clean the pan
and the screen. Discard the pan gas-
ket.
3.
 Place a new gasket on the pan,
and install the pan on the transmis-
sion.
4.
 On PEA models, connect the
filler tube to the pan and tighten the
fitting securely.
5.
 Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
6. Run the engine at idle speed for
about two minutes, and then run it at
fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm) until
it reaches it's normal operating temp-
erature. Do not race the engine.
7.
 Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be above the ADD mark. If 
necessary, add enough fluid io the
transmission to bring the level be-
tween the ADD and FULL marks on
che dipstick. Do not overfill the trans-
mission.
FMX OK C6
TRANSMISSION
1.
 Raise the vehicle on a hoist or
jack stands.
2.
 Place a drain pan under the
transmission.
3.
 Loosen the pan attaching bolts
to drain the fluid from the transmis-
sion.
4.
 After the fluid has drained to the
level of the pan flange, remove the
rest of the pan bolts working from the
rear and both sides of the pan to
allow it to drop and drain slowly.
5.
 When the fluid has stopped
draining from the transmission, re-
move and thoroughly clean the pan
and the screen. Discard the pan gas-
ket.
6. Place a new gasket on the pan,
and install the pan on the transmis-
sion.
7.
 Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
8. Run the engine at idle speed for
about two minutes, and then run it at
fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm) until
it reaches normal operating tempera-
ture.
 Do not race the engine.
9. Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be above the ADD mark. If
necessary, add enough fluid to the
transmission to bring the level be-
tween the ADD and FULL marks on
the dipstick. Do not overfill the trans-
mission.
OIL COOLER TUBE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
When fluid leakage is found at the
oil cooler, the cooler must be re-
placed. Cooler replacement is de-
scribed in the Cooling System Section
of Group 11. 
When one or more of the fluid
cooler steel tubes must be replaced,
each replacement tube must be fabri-
cated from the same size steel tubing
as the original line.
Using the old tube as a guide, bend
the new tube as required. Add the
necessary fittings, and install the tube.
After the fittings have been tight-
ened, add fluid as needed, and check
for fluid leaks.
VACUUM DIAPHRAGM
ADJUSTMENT NON-ALTITUDE
COMPENSATING TYPE
The C4 and C6 transmissions are
equipped with an adjustable vacuum
diaphragm assembly. A similar ad-
justable diaphragm has been released
for service with the FMX transmis-
sion. However, the FMX service dia-
phragm is not interchangeable with
that used on C4 and C6 models.
The vacuum diaphragm assembly
has an adjusting screw in the vacuum
hose connecting tube (Fig. 14).
