CAUTION: Corrosion may occur between the hub/
bearing and the axle. If this occurs the hub/bearing
will be difficult to remove from the axle. If the hub/
bearing will not come out of the axle by pulling on
it by hand, do not pound on the hub/bearing to
remove it from the axle. Pounding on the hub/bear-
ing to remove it from the axle will damage the hub/
bearing. This damage will result in noise or failure
of the bearing.
(8) If hub/bearing cannot be removed from the axle
by hand, use Remover Special Tool 8214 (Fig. 76) and
following procedure to press the hub/bearing out of
the axle.
(a) Place Special Tool 8214-1 over tone wheel
and against cast flange of hub/bearing (Fig. 76)
(b) Put a dab of grease in the bolt pilot hole on
the back of Special Tool 8214-1.
(c) Insert Special Tool 8214-2 into the hole in the
bottom of the end casting on the axle (Fig. 76).
Special Tool 8214-2 should be against and sup-
ported by the axle plate (Fig. 76) when pressing
the wheel bearing out of the axle.If Special Tool
8214-2 will not fit into the hole in the end
casting, file or grind the flashing from the
hole until tool fits properly.
(d) Align bolt in Special Tool 8214-2 with pilot
hole in Special Tool 8214-1. Tighten bolt against
Special Tool 8214-1.
(e) Press hub/bearing out of axle by continuing
to tighten bolt in Special Tool 8214-2 against Spe-
cial Tool 8214-1.
(9) Remove the hub/bearing from the rear axle and
brake support plate (Fig. 77).
(10) Using a suitable tool such as a 14 mm box
wrench (Fig. 78) or an aircraft type hose clamp, com-
press the flared legs on park brake cable retainer.
Then pull the park brake cable out of brake support
plate.(11) Lower vehicle enough to access the brake
pedal.
(12) Using a brake pedal depressor, move brake
pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of travel. This
will prevent brake fluid from draining out of master
cylinder when brake tube is remove from wheel cyl-
inder.
(13) Raise vehicle.
(14) Disconnect brake tube from wheel cylinder
(Fig. 79).
(15) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the wheel cylin-
der to the brake support plate (Fig. 79).
(16) Remove the wheel cylinder from the brake
support plate.
(17) Remove the rear brake support plate from the
rear axle.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
CAUTION: When installing the primary and second-
ary brake tubes on master cylinder, be sure brake
tubes do not contact any other components within
the vehicle and that there is slack in the flexible
sections of the tubes. This is required due to the
movement between the ABS hydraulic control mod-
ule (HCU) and the master cylinder, when the vehicle
is in motion.
(4) Connect the primary and secondary brake
tubes to master cylinder primary and secondary
ports (Fig. 99). Brake tubes must be held securely

way connector is removed from the CAB using the
following procedure. Grasp the lock on the 25 way
connector (Fig. 25) and pull it as far out as possible
(Fig. 26). This will unlock and raise the 25 way con-
nector from the socket on the CAB.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the HCU, the HCU must be thoroughly cleaned. This
must be done to prevent dirt particles from falling
into the ports of HCU or entering the brake tubes.
