Checking Brake Fluid Level
lCheck fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
lIf fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
lIf the brake warning lamp comes on, check brake fluid level
switch and parking brake switch.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4*1.
lAlways keep fluid level higher than minimum line on
reservoir tank.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
4. Refill until brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.
*1: Refer to MA section (``Fluids and Lubricants'', ``RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').

Removal
WARNING:
Clean brake lining with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne materials.
CAUTION:
Make sure parking brake lever is completely released.
1. Release parking brake lever fully, then remove drum.
lIf drum is hard to remove, the following procedures
should be carried out.
a. Remove plug. Then shorten adjuster to make clearance
between brake shoe and drum.
b. Install two bolts as shown. Tighten the two bolts gradu-
ally.
2. After removing retainer, remove spring by rotating shoes.
lBe careful not to damage wheel cylinder piston boots.
lBe careful not to damage parking brake cable when
separating it.
3. Remove adjuster.
4. Disconnect parking brake cable from toggle lever.
5. Remove retainer clip with a suitable tool. Then separate
toggle lever and brake shoe.

4. Connect parking brake cable to toggle lever.
5. Install all parts.
lBe careful not to damage wheel cylinder piston boots.
6. Check all parts are installed properly.
lAfter installation is completed, adjust shoe-to-drum
clearance.
7. Install brake drum.
8. When installing new wheel cylinder or overhauling wheel
cylinder, bleed air. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.
9. Adjust parking brake. Refer to BR-31.
lInstall all the parts by referring to the figure below.

lAfter installing crank lever on back plate, make sure that
there is no play between crank lever and back plate. If play
exists, adjust bolt

Removal and Installation
lBe careful not to damage cable.
lMake sure there is no free play after installation.
Inspection
1. Check control lever for wear or other damage. Replace if
necessary.
2. Check wires for discontinuity or deterioration. Replace if nec-
essary.
3. Check warning lamp and switch. Correct if necessary.
4. Check part at each connecting portion and, if found deformed
or damaged, replace.
Adjustment
Adjust parking brake as follows:
1. Fully release parking brake lever.
2. Loosen
VAand rotateVBuntil parking brake cable loosen.
3. Depress brake pedal several times until clicking sound does
not occur from rear brakes.
4. Adjust clearance between rear brake shoe and drum.
5. Adjust parking brake lever stroke by rotating
VB.
6. Pull parking brake lever with specified force. Check lever
stroke and ensure smooth operation.
7. Readjust clearance between rear brake shoe and drum.
