fitting that connects the tube to the

cylinder. Do not pull the metal tube

away from the cylinder. Pulling the

tube out of the cylinder connection

will bend the metal tube and make in-

stallation difficult. The tube will sepa-

rate from the cylinder when the cylin-

der is removed from the backing

plate.

4.
On all except the front wheels on

Ford, Mercury, and Meteor models,

remove the wheel cylinder attaching

bolts and lock washers and remove the

cylinder. On the front wheel of Ford,

Mercury and Meteor models, remove

the nut and washer that attaches the

cylinder to the anchor pin. Remove

the cylinder from the anchor pin.

INSTALLATION

tainer securely.

2.
Install a new copper gasket over

the hose fitting. Thread the hose into

the cylinder and tighten it to specified

torque.

3.
Engage the opposite end of the

hose to the bracket on the frame. In-

stall the horseshoe-type retaining clip,

and connect the brake tube to the

hose with the tube fitting nut. Tighten

the nut to specification with tool

placed, position a new rear backing

plate and gasket on the attaching

bolts in the axle housing flange. Insert

parking brake cable into backing plate

and secure retaining fingers. Install

the rear axle shaft for applicable rear

axle.
Refer to Group 4, Part 4-2 —

FIG. 22—Floating Caliper

Installed

1.
Remove the front wheel cover.

Remove the wheel and tire assembly

from the hub and rotor assembly. Be

careful to avoid damage or interfer-

ence with the caliper splash shield or

bleeder screw fitting.

2.
Disconnect the brake line from

the caliper. Cap the hose to prevent

*he brake fluid from leaking from the

master cylinder.

3.
Remove the safety wire and the

two bolts that attach the caliper as-

sembly to the spindle.

4.
Lift the caliper assembly off the

rotor and place it on the bench.

Installation

1.
Position the caliper assembly on

the rotor, and mate the mounting bolt

holes in the caliper with those in the

spindle. It may be necessary to push

the caliper piston into the cylinder

bore to obtain clearance between the

shoe and lining assembly and the

rotor.

2.
Install the caliper to spindle at-

taching bolts and torque them to spe-

cification. The upper bolt must be

tightened first. Install the safety wire

on the bolts and twist the wire ends at

least five turns. Push the wire ends

against the spindle to avoid interfer-

ence with the brake hose and the

steering stop. Check to insure that the

rotor runs squarely and centrally be-

tween the two brake shoes.

3.
Position the brake hose fitting

with a new copper washer on each

side of the fitting on the caliper as-

sembly. Install the bolts and torque to

specification.

4.
Bleed the brake system and cen-

tralize the differential valve as out-

lined in Part 2-1. Check the masterprocarmanuals.com

that the tabs on the shoe flanges seat

fully against the caliper bridges (Fig.

25).

2.
Install the caliper splash shield

and secure the shield to the caliper

with two retaining bolts (Fig. 4).

3.
Pump the brake pedal several

times until a firm pedal is obtained

and the shoe and lining assemblies are

properly seated.

4.
Install the wheel and tire assem-

bly on the hub and rotor assembly.

5.
Check and refill the master cyl-

inder reservoir with specified brake

fluid as required.

6. Road test the car.

It should not be necessary to bleed

the system after a shoe and lining re-

placement.

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

Caliper Assembly Installation proce-

dure in this section.

draulic connections).

2.
Remove the three bolts that at-

tach the splash shield to the spindle,

and remove the shield (Figs. 23 and

24).

3.
Remove and discard the splash

shield to spindle gasket.

INSTALLATION

1.

3 IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT HEIGHT CONTROL VALVE

The regulator may be adjusted if

the regulator pressure is under 100 psi

with the reservoir pressure at a mini-

mum of 140 psi. If the regulated pres-

sure exceeds 130 psi, the regulator

must be replaced.

To adjust the regulator, remove the

boot and reposition the sleeve and re-

tainer deeper into the body of the re-

gulator, using a deep well socket (Fig.

4).
If the regulator pressure remains

under 100 psi, replace regulator.
SILICONE FLUID

REPLACEMENT

If the height control valve time

delay does not fall within specifica-

tion, the silicone fluid must be re-

placed. Then repeat the time delay

test. If delay is still not within specifi-

cations, replace the height control

valve.

1.
Remove control valve and clean
the exterior of the valve thoroughly.

2.
Position the valve with delay

plug on top. Remove delay plug and

drain silicone fluid from the chamber.

Remove the O-ring from the chamber

(Fig. 5), and discard the O-ring.

3.
Remove the cover plate retaining

ring, using snap ring pliers. Remove

the delay cover from the valve body.

Remove the O-ring from the chamber,

and discard the O-ring.

4.
Place a new O-ring over the

delay plug and install the plug. Tor-

que the plug to 20-30 in-lbs. .

5.
Pour silicone fluid into the delay

piston chamber until fluid level is 5/16

inch below the top edge of the body.

Add or remove fluid with an eye drop-

per until the proper fluid level is

reached.

6. Hold the control valve body in a

vise with the delay chamber elevated

slightly. Carefully operate the lever to

purge trapped air from the fluid.
