per splash shield or the bleeder screw

fitting.

4.
Front wheel bearing end play is

critical and must be within specifica-

tions.

5.
Be sure the vehicle is centered on

the hoist before servicing any front

end components, to avoid bending or

damaging the rotor splash shield on

full right or left wheel turns.

6. The proportioning valve should

not be disassembled or adjustments

attempted on it.

7.
Riding of the brake pedal (com-

mon on left foot applications) should

be avoided during vehicle operation.

8. The wheel and tire must be re-

moved ' separately from the brake

rotor, unlike drum brakes where the
wheel, tire and drum are removed as a

unit.

9. On floating caliper type disc

brakes whenever the caliper is re-

moved the caliper locating pins should

be inspected for wear or damage.

10.
On floating caliper type disc

brakes, the caliper assembly must be

removed from the spindle prior to re-

moval of the shoe and lining assem-

blies.

11.
On floating caliper type disc

brakes the calipers must not be inter-

changed from one side to the other.

When the caliper is installed on its

proper anchor plate and spindle, the

bleeder screw will point to the rear of

the vehicle (Fig. 22). If a caliper is in-

stalled on the wrong side of the vehi-

cle,
it is not possible to bleed the sys-

tem properly.

12.
Do not attempt to clean or re-

store oil or grease soaked brake lin-

ings.
When contaminated linings are

found, brake linings must be replaced

in complete axle sets.

DRUM BRAKES

1.
Remove the wheel from the

drum, and remove the drum as out-

lined in Part 2-2, Section 2.

2.
Brush all dust from the backing

plates and interior of the brake

drums.

3.
Inspect the brake shoes for ex-

cessive lining wear or shoe damage. If

the lining is worn within 1/32 inch of

the rivet heads or if the shoes are

damaged, they must be replaced. Re-

place any lining that had been con-

taminated with oil, grease or brake
fluid. Replace lining in axle sets. Prior

to replacement of lining, the drum di-

ameter should be checked to deter-

mine if oversize linings must be in-

stalled.

4.
Check the condition of brake

shoes,
retracting springs, hold-down

springs, and drum for signs of over-

heating. If the shoes have a slight blue

coloring, indicating overheating, re-

placement of the retracting and hold-.

down springs is strongly recommended.

Overheated springs lose their pull and

could cause the new lining i:o wear

prematurely, if they are not replaced.

5. If the vehicle has 30,000 or more

miles of operation on the brake linings

or signs of overheating are present

when relining brakes, the wheel cylin-

ders should be disassembled and in-

spected for wear and entrance of dirt

into the cylinder. The cylinder cups

should be replaced, thus avoiding fu-

ture problems.

6. Inspect all other brake parts and

replace any that are worn or dam-

aged.

7.
Inspect the brake drum and, if

necessary, refinish. Refer to Part 2-2,

Section 4 for refinishing.

BRAKE BOOSTER

Check the booster operation as

noted in Part 2-1, Section 1, Power

Brake Functional Test. If the brake

booster is damaged or defective, re-

place it with a new booster. The brake

booster is serviced only as an assem-

bly.procarmanuals.com

DISASSEMBLY

1.
Remove the links and the rubber

boots from the ends of the brake cyl-

inder. Remove the pistons, cups, and

return spring from the cylinder bore

(Fig. 12).

2.
Remove the bleeder screw from

the cylinder.

INSPECTION

1.
Wash all parts in clean brake

fluid. Dry with compressed air.

2.
Replace scored pistons. Always

replace the rubber cups and dust

boots.
3.
Inspect the cylinder bore for

score marks or rust. If either condi-

tion is present the cylinder bore must

be honed. However, the cylinder

should not be honed more than 0.003

inch beyond its original diameter.

4.
Check the bleeder hole to be sure

that it is open.

ASSEMBLY

1.
Apply a light coating of heavy-

duty brake fluip! to all internal parts.

2.
Thread the bleeder screw into the

cylinder and tighten securely.

3.
Insert the return spring, cups,

and pistons into their respective posi-

tions in the cylinder bore (Fig. 12).
Place a boot over each end of the cyl-

inder. Bleed the brake system.

HYDRAULIC LINE REPAIR

Steel tubing is used throughout the

brake system with the exception of the

flexible hoses at the front wheels and

at the fear axle housing brake tube

connection (Figs. 17 thru 21).

Always bleed the applicable pri-

mary or secondary brake system after

primary or secondary brake system

hose or line replacement. Centralize

the pressure differential valve after

bleeding the system.

BRAKE TUBE

REPLACEMENT

If a section of the brake tubing be-

comes damaged, the entire section

should be replaced with tubing of the

same type, size, shape and length.

Copper tubing should not be used in a

hydraulic system. When bending

brake tubing to fit underbody or rear

axle contours, be careful not to kink

or crack the tube.

All brake tubing should be double

flared properly to provide good leak-

proof connections. Clean the brake

tubing by flushing with clean brake

fluid before installation.

When connecting a tube to a hose,

tube connector, or brake cylinder,

tighten the tube fitting nut to specified

torque with Milbar tool 1112-144 or

equivalent.

BRAKE HOSE

REPLACEMENT

A flexible brake hose should be re-

placed if it shows signs of softening,

cracking, or other damage.

When installing a new front brake

hose,
position the hose to avoid con-

tact with other chassis parts. Place a

new copper gasket over the hose fit-

ting and thread the hose assembly into

the front wheel cylinder. Engage the

opposite end of the hose to the brack-

et on the frame. Install the horsesho-

e-type retaining clip, and connect the

tube to the hose with the tube fitting

nut (Figs. 17 thru 21).

A rear brake hose should be in-

stalled so that it does not touch the

muffler outlet pipe or shock absorber.

Thread the hose into the rear brake

tube connector. Engage the front end

of the hose to the bracket on the

frame. Install the horseshoe-type re-

taining clip, and connect the tube to

the hose with the tube fitting nut.procarmanuals.com

taching bolts to the proper torque. If

necessary, replace the gasket.

Check the fluid filler tube connec-

tion at the transmission case or pan.

If leakage is found here, install a new

O-ring or tighten the fitting to the

specified torque.

Check the fluid lines and fittings

between the transmission and the

cooler in the radiator tank for loose-

ness,
wear, or damage. If leakage can-

not be stopped by tightening a fitting,

replace the damaged parts.

Check the engine coolant in the ra-

diator. If transmission fluid is present

in the coolant, the cooler in the radia-

tor is probably leaking.

The cooler can be further checked

for leaks by disconnecting the lines

from the cooler fittings and applying

50-75 psi air pressure to the fittings.

Remove the radiator cap to relieve the

pressure build at the exterior of the oil

cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking

and will not hold this pressure the

cooler must be replaced. Cooler re-

placement is described in the Cooling

System Section of Group 11.

If leakage is found at either the

downshift control lever shaft or the

manual lever shaft, replace either or

both seals.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left

side of the transmission case at the

front. If the plug shows leakage, tor-

que the plug to specifications. If tight-

ening does not stop the leaks, replace

the plug. On a C6 transmission, a TV

pressure plug is also provided on the

right rear side of the case.

When converter drain plugs leak,

remove drain plugs with a six-point

wrench. Coat the threads with FoMo-

Co Perfect Seal Sealing Compound or

its equivalent, and install the plugs.

Torque the drain plugs to specifica-

tion. Fluid leakage from the converter

housing may be caused by engine oil

leaking past the rear main bearing or

from oil gallery plugs, or power steer-

ing oil leakage from steering system.

Be sure to determine the exact cause

of the leak before repair procedures

are started.

Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes

premixed at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon

of dye powder to 1/2 pint of transmis-

sion fluid have proved helpful in locat-

ing the source of the fluid leakage.

Such dyes may be used to determine

whether an engine oil or transmission

fluid leak is present or if the fluid in

the oil cooler leaks into the engine

coolant system. A black light, how-

ever, must be used with the fluorescent

dye solution.

CONVERTER LEAKAGE

CHECK

If there are indications that the

welds on the torque converter are

leaking, the converter will have to be

removed and the following check

made before the unit is replaced.

A leak checking tool (Fig. 2) can be

made from standard parts. The tool

can be used to check all converters.

1.
Install the plug in the converter

(Fig. 3) and expand it by tightening

the wing nut. Attach the safety chains.

2.
Install the air valve in one of the

drain plug holes.

3.
Introduce air pressure into the

converter. Check the pressure with a

tire gauge and adjust it to 20 psi.

4.
Place the converter in a tank of

water. Observe the weld areas for

bubbles. If no bubbles are observed, it

may be assumed that the welds are

not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK

Check and, if necessary, adjust the

engine idle speed, using the procedure

given in Group 10.

If the idle speed is too low, the en-

gine will run roughly. An idle speed

that is too high will cause the vehicle

to creep, have harsh engagements and

harsh closed-throttle downshifts.
ANTI-STALL DASHPOT

CLEARANCE CHECK

After the engine idle speed has been

properly adjusted, check the anti-stall

dashpot clearance. Follow the proce-

dure given in Group 10 for checking

and adjusting this clearance.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS

Correct manual linkage adjustment

is necessary to position the manual

valve for proper fluid pressure direc-

tion to the different transmission com-

ponents. Improperly adjusted manual
