(1) Remove outboard brake pad, by prying the pad
retaining clip over raised area on caliper (Fig. 50).
Then slide the pad down and off the caliper.
(2) Pull inboard brake pad away from piston, until
retaining clip on brake pad is free from cavity in cal-
iper piston (Fig. 51).
INSTALL
(1) Completely retract caliper piston back into pis-
ton bore of caliper assembly. This is required for cal-
iper installation with new brake pad assemblies.
(2) Remove the protective paper from the noise
suppression gasket on both the inner and outer brake
pad assemblies (if equipped).
NOTE: The inboard and outboard brake pads are
not common, refer to (Fig. 52) for inboard and out-
board brake pad assembly identification.
(3) Install the new inboard brake pad assembly
into the caliper piston by firmly pressing into piston
bore (Fig. 53). Be sure inboard brake pad assembly is

During service procedures, grease or any other for-
eign material must be kept off brake shoe assem-
blies, and braking surfaces of brake drum and
external surfaces of hub/bearing assembly.
Handling of the braking disc and caliper is to be
done in such a way as to avoid deformation of the
disc and scratching or nicking of brake linings.
If inspection reveals that the square sectioned cal-
iper piston seal is worn or damaged, itMUSTbe
replaced immediately.
During removal and installation of a wheel and
tire assembly, use care not to strike the caliper.
REMOVE
(1) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubrication and Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
(2) Remove rear wheel and tire assemblies from
vehicle.
(3) Remove the caliper to adapter guide pin bolts
(Fig. 55).
(4) Remove rear caliper from adapter using the fol-
lowing procedure. First rotate rear of caliper up from
the adapter. Then pull the front of the caliper and
the outboard brake shoe anti-rattle clip out from
under the front abutment on the adapter (Fig. 56).
(5) Support caliper to prevent the weight of the
caliper from damaging the flexible brake hose (Fig.
57).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

(5) Install the outboard brake shoe on the disc
brake caliper
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin
bushings do not get damaged by the mounting
bosses.

(10) Remove jackstands or lower hoist.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm
brake pedal to adequately stop the vehicle.
(11) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoe linings.
REAR BRAKE DRUM
REMOVE

ing assembly.
INSTALL
(1) Adjust brake shoes assemblies so as not to
interfere with brake drum installation.
(2) Install the rear brake drums on the hubs.
(3) Adjust rear brake shoes per Adjusting Rear
Brakes procedure in the service adjustments section
of the service manual.
(4) Install the removed park brake cable back on
the park brake cable equalizer (Fig. 60)
(5) Install wheel and tire.
(6) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 130 N´m (95 ft. lbs.).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

CAUTION: When installing the tension clip on the
automatic adjuster, it must be located on only the
threaded area of the adjuster assembly (Fig. 66). If
it is located on a non-threaded area of the adjuster,
the function of the automatic adjuster will be
affected.
(7) Install the tension clip (Fig. 66) attaching the
upper return spring to the automatic adjuster assem-
bly.
(8) Install the brake shoe to brake shoe lower
return springs on the brake shoes (Fig. 64) and (Fig.
65).
(9) Install automatic adjustment lever on the lead-
ing brake shoe of the rear brake assembly (Fig. 63).
(10) Install the actuating spring on the automatic
adjustment lever and leading brake shoe assembly
(Fig. 62).
(11) Verify that the automatic adjuster lever has
positive contact with the star wheel on the automatic
adjuster assembly.
(12) When all components of both rear brake
assemblies are correctly and fully installed, remove
the locking pliers from the front park brake cable.
(13) Adjust brake shoes assemblies so as not to
interfere with brake drum installation.
(14) Install the rear brake drums on the hubs.
(15) Adjust rear brake shoes per Adjusting Rear
Brakes procedure in the service adjustments section
of the service manual.
(16) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(17) Push the park brake pedal to the floor once
and release pedal. This will automatically remove the
slack from and correctly adjust the park brake
cables.
(18) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 130 N´m (95 ft. lbs.).
(19) Road test vehicle. The automatic adjuster will
continue the brake adjustment during the road test
of the vehicle.
BRAKE SUPPORT PLATE (REAR DRUM BRAKES)
REMOVE
(1) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual for required lifting procedure.
(2) Remove wheel and tire.
(3) Remove brake drum from hub/bearing.
(4) Remove brake shoes from brake support plate.

and installation section in this group of the service
manual for the required procedure.(5) Disconnect the park brake cable from the park
brake actuation lever.

rear hub/bearing flange (Fig. 74). This will prevent
damage to the speed sensor during removal and
installation of the hub/bearing.The rear wheel
speed sensor bolts to the hub/bearing. It can
not be removed unless the speed sensor is
removed first.
CAUTION: When working in the area of the rear
hub/bearing and when removing it from the rear
axle, care must be used so the teeth on the tone
wheel are not damaged. Damage to the teeth on the
tone wheel will result in false ABS cycling and cor-
rosion of the tone wheel.

HUB/BEARING
FRONT WHEEL DRIVE
REMOVE
(1) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual for required lifting procedure.
(2) Remove wheel and tire.
(3) Remove brake drum from hub/bearing.
(4) Remove rear wheel speed sensor from rear hub/
bearing (Fig. 82). This will prevent damage to the
speed sensor during removal and installation of the
hub/bearing.The rear wheel speed sensor bolts
to the hub/bearing. It can not be removed
unless the speed sensor is removed first.
CAUTION: When working in the area of the rear
hub/bearing and when removing it from the rear
axle, care must be used so the teeth on the tone
wheel are not damaged. Damage to the teeth on the
tone wheel will result in false ABS cycling and cor-
rosion of the tone wheel.
(5) Remove the 4 bolts (Fig. 83) attaching the hub/
bearing to the rear axle.
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 onit 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.
(6) If hub/bearing cannot be removed from the axle
by hand, use Remover Special Tool 8214 (Fig. 84) 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. 84)
(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. 84).
Special Tool 8214-2 should be against and sup-
ported by the axle plate (Fig. 84) 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.
