Brakes
Parking Brake Adjusfmenf
Cable slack must be removed by adjustment of the intermediate cable length. The handbrake should be fully on be-
tween three and five clicks.
Parking Brake Shoe Assembly
The parking brakes are of the duo-sewo type. The expander
assembly (6 Fig. 1) is mounted on the backplate mounting
lug. The brake shoes locate on the expander assembly and
the adjuster
(1 Fig. I).These are held in position by the upper
and lower return springs (4 and 5 Fig. 1) and the hold down
springs (2 Fig. 1). The adjuster allows manual adjustment of
the brake shoes.
To remove the brake shoe assemblies the handbrake must
be released and the adjuster slackened.
The use of
a spring removal tool is recommended when re- moving the brake shoes. Strong pliers may be used, but
there is a risk of both personal injury and loss of compo- nents, should the pliers slip.
lnspedion and Cleaning
Clean and examine all components for wear or damage, re- newing parts as necessary. Fig.
1
When
reassembling the expander assembly, liberally grease the components using a proprietary mechanical brake
grease. Lightly grease the threads of the adjuster.
CAUTION: Do not get grease onto the lining material. Light surfacecontamination can be removed with emery cloth,
but heavy penetration of grease or fluid will render the material unsuitable for further use and the linings
must be renewed.
Re-assembly
When reassembling the brake shoes, lightly grease the shoe tips and back plate contact area. The brake shoes and
the expander assembly should befitted to the backplate with the lower return spring in position. When the brake shoes
are located, the adjuster, upper return spring and hold down springs should then be fitted. The brake shoes should
be adjusted
so that the brake rotorhub can just be fitted. Final adjustment should allow the brake rotor/hub to rotate
without excessive drag. Light running contact is permissible.

WARNING: FUME EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT MUST BE IN OPERATION WHEN SOLVENTS ARE USED E.G.
TRICHLOROETHANE, WHITE SPIRIT, SBPB, METHYLENE CHLORIDE, PERCHLORETHYLENE.
DO NOT SMOKE IN THE VICINITY OF VOLATILE DEGREASING AGENTS.
Adhere strictly to handling and safety instructions given on containers and labels. Keep oils and solvents away from
naked flames and other sources of ignition. Do not apply heat in an attempt to free seized nuts or fittings; as well as
causing damage to protective coatings, there is
a risk of damage from stray heat to electronic equipment and brake
lines. Do not leave tools, equipment, spilt oil etc. around or on work
area. Wear protective overalls and use barrier
cream when necessary.
0 A3.1.1 Used Engine Oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dry- ness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause
skin cancer. Washing facilities and adequate means of skin protection should be provided.
A3.1.2 Health Protection Precautions
0 Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oil; particularly used engine oils.
o Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable
0 Do not put oily rags in pockets.
0 Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underwear, with oil.
0 Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard unwashable clothing and footwear which is oil impregnated.
o First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts or wounds.
0 Use barrier creams, applying before each work period, to enable easier removal of dirty oil / grease from the
skin.
0 Wash with soap and water to ensure that all oil is removed (skin cleaner and a nail brush will help). The use of
preparations containing lanolin will help to replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
o Do not use petrol, kerosene, gas oil, thinners or solvents for washing skin.
0 If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice immediately.
0 Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
0 Where there is a risk of fluids coming into contact with the eyes, eye protection should be worn, for example,
goggles or a face shield. An eye wash facility should be provided.
A3.1.3 Environmental Protection Precautions
A3.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Whenever possible, use a ramp or pit whilst working beneath a car, in preference to jacking. Position chocks at the
wheels as well as applying the handbrake. Never rely on a jack alone to support a car. Use axle stands, or blocks care- fully placed at the jacking points, to provide a rigid location. Checkthat any lifting equipment used has adequate capac- ity and is fully serviceable. Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is conveniently located.
When using
electrical tools and equipment, inspect the power lead for damage and check that it is properly earthed. Disconnect
the earth (grounded) terminal of the car battery. Do not disconnect any pipes of the air conditioning refrigeration sys-
tem unless you are trained and instructed to do so. A refrigerant is used which can cause blindness if allowed to come
into contact with the eyes. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided when volatile degreasing agents are being
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water courses. The burning of used engine
oil in small space heaters or boilers is not recommended unless emission control equipment is fitted. Dispose of used
oil through authorized waste disposal contractors, to licensed waste disposal sites or to the waste oil reclamation trade.
If in doubt, contact the Local Authority for advice on disposal facilities.
