secondary brakeshoes move the shoes directly into
contact with the drum braking surface. The actuating
levers are interconnected by a system of cables and a
tensioner mechanism. The tensioner mechanism con-
trols parking brake adjustment.
A parking brake switch is used on all models. It is
mounted on the parking brake lever or foot pedal and
is actuated by movement of the lever/pedal. The
switch, which is in circuit with the red warning light
in the dash, will illuminate the warning light when-
ever the parking brakes are applied.
On XJ models, the cable tensioner is part of the lever
assembly. On YJ models, the tensioner and equalizer
are mounted in a bracket attached to the underbody.
On YJ models, the parking brake front cable is at-
tached to the foot pedal and cable tensioner. The ten-
sioner and rear cables are connected to the equalizer
(Fig. 1).
On XJ models, the cable tensioner is connected di-
rectly to the hand lever (a front cable is not used).
The tensioner rod is attached to the equalizer which
is the connecting point for the rear cables (Fig. 2).
The rear cables are connected to the actuating le-
ver on each secondary brakeshoe. The levers are at-
tached to the brakeshoes by a pin either pressed into,
or welded to the lever. A clip is used to secure the pin
in the brakeshoe. The pin allows each lever to pivot
independently of the brakeshoe.
Struts installed between each brakeshoe, are used to
maintain shoe alignment and equal motion when the
parking brakes are applied. Each strut is equipped with
a combination tension and anti-rattle spring.
Parking Brake Application
To apply the parking brakes, the foot pedal is
pressed downward, or the hand lever is pulled up-
ward, to an engaged position. This pulls the rear
brakeshoe actuating levers forward, by means of the
interconnected tensioner and cables.
As the actuating lever is pulled forward, the park-
ing brake strut (which is connected to both shoes),
exerts a linear force against the primary brakeshoe.
This action presses the primary shoe into contact
with the drum.
Once the primary shoe contacts the drum, force ex-
erted through the strut does not stop. Instead, fur-
ther lever movement exerts continuing force against
the strut. This force is transferred through the strut
to the secondary brakeshoe causing it to pivot into
the drum as well.
The brakeshoes remain engaged with the drum until
the levers and cables are released. A gear type ratchet-
ing mechanism is used to hold the pedal or lever in an
applied position. Parking brake release is accomplished
by means of the release handle on YJ models. Or by the
hand lever release button on XJ models.

CLUTCH COMPONENT LUBRICATION
Proper clutch component lubrication is important
to satisfactory operation. Using the correct lubricant
and not overlubricating are equally important. Apply
recommended lubricant sparingly to avoid disc and
pressure plate contamination.
Clutch and transmission components requiring lu-
brication are:
²pilot bearing
²release lever pivot ball stud
²release lever contact surfaces
²release bearing bore
²clutch disc hub splines
²clutch pedal pivot shaft bore
²clutch pedal bushings²input shaft splines
²input shaft pilot hub
²transmission front bearing retainer slide surface
Never apply grease to any part of the clutch
cover, or disc.
Recommended Lubricants
Use Mopar multi-purpose grease for the clutch
pedal bushings and pivot shaft. Use Mopar high tem-
perature grease (or equivalent) for all other lubrica-
tion requirements. Apply recommended amounts and
do not overlubricate.

WATER PUMPSÐGENERAL INFORMATION
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core.
The pump is driven from the engine crankshaft by a
drive belt on all engines.
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in bearings pressed into the
housing. The housing has a small hole to allow seep-
age to escape. The water pump seals are lubricated
by the antifreeze in the coolant mixture. No addi-
tional lubrication is necessary.
CAUTION: All engines are equipped with a reverse
(counter-clockwise) rotating water pump and vis-
cous fan drive assembly. REVERSE is stamped or
imprinted on the cover of the viscous fan drive and
inner side of the fan. The letter R is stamped into
the back of the water pump impeller (Fig. 1).
Engines from previous model years, depending
upon application, may have been equipped with a for-
ward (clockwise) rotating water pump. Installation of
the wrong water pump will cause engine overheating.
A quick test to determine if the pump is working is
to check if the heater warms properly. A defective wa-
ter pump will not be able to circulate heated coolant
through the long heater hose to the heater core.

water pump.
(4) Bend a stiff clothes hanger or welding rod as
shown in (Fig. 2).
(5) Position the rod in the water pump inlet and
attempt to hold the impeller while turning the fan
blades. If equipped with a viscous fan drive, turn the
water pump shaft with a breaker bar and socket at-
tached to a mounting flange nut. If the impeller is
loose and can be held with the rod while the fan
blades are turning, the pump is defective. If the im-
peller turns, the pump is OK.
Connect the hose and install the coolant, or proceed
with repairs.

coolant with debris. Refer to Water Pump Re-
moval.
WATER PUMPSÐREMOVAL/INSTALLATION
REMOVALÐALL MODELS
CAUTION: If the water pump is replaced because of
mechanical damage, the fan blades and viscous fan
drive should also be inspected. These components
could have been damaged due to excessive vibra-
tion.The water pump on all models can be removed
without discharging the air conditioning system (if
equipped).
CAUTION: All engines have a reverse (counter-
clockwise) rotating water pump. The letter R is
stamped into the back of the water pump impeller
(Fig. 1) to identify. Engines from previous model
years, depending upon application, may be
equipped with a forward (clockwise) rotating water
pump. Installation of the wrong water pump will
cause engine over heating.
The water pump impeller is pressed on the rear of
the pump shaft and bearing assembly. The water
pump is serviced only as a complete assembly.
