GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DRUM BRAKE ASSEMBLY
The drum brake assembly has a self shoe clearance adjusting system so that drum-to-shoe clearance is main-
tained appropriate at all times. Rear brake is a drum type. It uses leading trailing operation when brake pedal is
depressed and when parking brake is applied on level road.
It also uses duo servo operation when parking brake is applied on gradient road and load is applied in longitudinal
direction of vehicle.
NOTE:
Replace all components included in repair kits to service this drum brake. Lubricate parts as specified.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The torque
values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
