ther clearance can be obtained by backing off the
brake automatic adjuster screw. Remove rubber plug
from the top of the support plate and rotate the au-
tomatic adjuster screw assembly with an upward mo-
tion, using the Brake Adjuster, Special Tool C-3784. See adjusting rear service brakes in the Service
Adjustments section in this group of the service man-
ual for the specific adjustment procedure. Remove wheel bearing grease cap (Fig. 1).
Remove cotter pin, nut lock, retaining nut, thrust
washer and outer bearing cone (Fig. 1). Remove brake drum and hub and bearing assembly
from the rear spindle (Fig. 1). Inspect brake linings for wear, shoe alignment and
contamination.

seal, a new seal should be used when reinstalling the
inner bearing. (See Fig. 1) (5) Thoroughly clean all old grease from the outer
and inner bearings, bearing cups and hub cavity (See
Fig. 1). To clean bearings, soak them in an ap-
propriate cleaning solvent. Strike the flat sur-
face of the bearing inner race against a
hardwood block several times. Immerse the
bearings in solvent between the blows to jar
grease loose and wash old particles of hardened
grease from bearings. Repeat this operation un-
til bearings are clean. Bearings can be dried
using compressed air but do not spin the bear-
ings. After cleaning, oil the bearings with engine
oil. Insert the bearing into its appropriate cup,
apply pressure to the bearing while rotating it to
test them for pitting and roughness. Replace all
worn or defective bearings. If bearing shows signs of pitting or roughness they should be
replaced. Bearings must be replaced as a set,
both the cup and the bearing need to be replaced
at the same time. If bearings are suitable for
further use, remove engine oil from bearings
using appropriate solvent and dry bearings. Re-
pack the bearings using a Multi-Purpose NLGI.
Grade 2 EP Grease such as Mopar or equivalent,
and place them in a clean covered container
until ready for installation. If a bearing packer is
not available, hand pack grease into all cavities
between bearing cage and rollers. (6) If bearings and cups are to be replaced, remove
cups from the drum or hub using a brass drift or
suitable remover. (7) Replace bearing cups with appropriate installing
tool. (8) Install inner bearing in grease coated hub and
bearing cup, and install new grease seals using the
appropriate seal installer. (9) Coat hub cavity and cup with grease.
(10) Before installing hub or drum assembly, inspect
stub axle and seal surface for burrs or roughness, and
smooth out all rough surfaces. (11) Coat the stub axle with Multi-Purpose NLGI,
Grade 2 EP grease such as Mopar or equivalent. (12) Carefully slide the hub of drum assembly onto
the stub axle. Do not drag seal or inner bearing
over the threaded area of the stub axle. (13) Install outer bearing, thrust washer and nut.
(14) Tighten the wheel bearing adjusting nut to 27 to
34 N Im (240 to 300 in. lbs.) while rotating hub or drum
assembly. This seats the bearings. (15) Back off adjusting nut 1/4 turn (90É) then
tighten adjusting nut only finger tight. (16) Position the nut lock over the bearing adjusting
nut with one pair of slots in line with the cotter pin hole
in the stub axle, and install cotter pin. (17) Install the grease caps and the wheel and tire
assemblies. Tighten wheel stud nuts to 115 N Im (85 ft.
lbs.) on all models. reinstall wheel covers if so
equipped.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power seats can be adjusted in six different direc-
tions up, down, forward, back, tilt forward, or tilt
rearward. A three armature permanent magnet reversible mo-
tor is coupled through cables to worm gear box assem-
blies located in the seat tracks, providing the various
seat movements. The electrical circuit is protected by a 30 amp circuit
breaker located on the fuse block.
TEST PROCEDURES
Before any testing is attempted the battery should be
carefully charged and all connections and terminals
cleaned and tightened to insure proper continuity and
grounds. With dome lamp on, apply switch in direction of
failure. If dome lamp dims the seat motor is trying to
work indicating mechanical jamming. If dome lamp
does not dim, then proceed with the following electrical
tests.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals still
contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground wire of
voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of voltmeter
positive wire, check both terminals of circuit breaker
for battery voltage. If only one terminal checks at
battery voltage, circuit breaker is defective and must
be replaced. If neither terminal shows battery voltage,
check for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
HARNESS VOLTAGE TEST
The following test will determine whether or not
voltage is continuous through the body harness to the
switch. (1) Remove power seat switch from mounting posi-
tion and disconnect switch from wiring harness. (2) Connect one lead of test light to ground terminal,
black wire (BK) of center section, and touch other test
light lead to red wire (RD) terminal. (3) If test light comes on, harness to switch is good.
If test light does not come on, perform circuit breaker
test.

(7) If battery is good, check for continuity of driv-
er's power seat switch. Refer to Power Memory Seat
Switch Continuity (Fig. 16). (8) Check that all connectors are securely plugged
into control module under driver's seat with no ter-
minal push outs. (9) No correctable faults are found in the above
steps. The battery voltage and ground circuits are
good into the control module. There is battery volt-
age through the seat switch to the control module.
Then replace the control module. (10) If the control module must be replaced, open it
and observe the non-relay side of the printed circuit
board. The module may be damaged by an intermit-
tent short on the inside of the recliner switch. If a
trace is burnt open near the 10-way connector, may
be caused by the recliner switch (Fig. 18).
(11) If module is burnt, remove recliner switch.
Open the switch and observe the movable contacts
staking at the staked end. If the contact, arm can be
rotated, by a sideways motion, the switch must be re-
placed. This will prevent the new control module
from damaged by the switch.
