16) Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about
30 kg (66 lbs) load over ten times so as to obtain proper
drum-to shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable. (For adjustment, refer to “Parking
Brake Check and Adjustment” in Section 5.)
17) Tighten parking brake lever cover screws.
18) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from dragging and
proper braking is obtained. Then remove vehicle from hoist
and perform brake test (foot brake and parking brake).
19) Check each installed part for oil leakage.

Rear Drum Brake Shoe Adjustment
Rear brake has self-adjusting mechanism but it does require
adjustment for proper drum to shoe clearance when brake shoe
has been replaced or brake drum has been removed for some
other service.
Adjustment is automatically accomplished by depressing brake
pedal about 30 times with approximately 30 kg (66 Ibs) load after
all parts are installed.
Then check brake drum for dragging and brake system for proper
performance. After lowering vehicle from hoist, brake test should
be performed.
Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment
INSPECTION
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with 20 kg
(44 Ibs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as above, count ratchet
notches.
There should be 6 to 8 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly. To
count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds that ratchet
makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing its but-
ton.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.NOTE:
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as indicated
on reservoir cap of that vehicle or recommended in
owner’s manual which comes along with that vehicle.
Use of any other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX lines marked
on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes during driv-
ing, replenish fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake system for
leakage.
Correct leaky points and then refill to specified level.
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use a container which has
been used for mineral oil or a container which is wet from
water. Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of
rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and water mixed
into brake fluid will lower fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid
containers capped to prevent contamination.

If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable by refer-
ring to adjustment procedure described on the following so as to
obtain specified parking brake stroke.
ADJUSTMENT
After confirming that above 5 conditions are all satisfied, adjust
parking brake lever stroke by loosening or tightening adjusting nut
(3) indicated in figure.
Parking brake stroke (when lever is pulled up at 200 N (20
kg, 44 Ibs) : 6 – 8 notches
Booster Operation Check
There are two ways to perform this inspection, with and without a
tester. Ordinarily, it is possible to roughly determine its condition
without using a tester.NOTE:
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or wear. If any
damage or wear is found, replace parking brake lever.
NOTE:
Make sure for following conditions before cable adjust-
ment.
No air is trapped in brake system.
Brake pedal travel is proper.
Brake pedal has been depressed a few times with
about 30 kg (66 Ibs) load.
Parking brake lever (1) has been pulled up a few times
with about 20 kg force.
Rear brake shoes are not worn beyond limit, and self
adjusting mechanism operates properly.
NOTE:
Check brake drum for dragging after adjustment.
2. Brake cable
NOTE:
For this check, make sure that no air is in hydraulic line.

4) If rear brake pressure is not within specification, adjust it by
changing stay position as follows.
If rear brake pressure is higher than specification, move stay
“A” to direction “l” and if it is lower, to direction “r”.
Repeat steps 3) and 4) until rear brake pressure is within
specification.
After adjustment, be sure to torque bolt to specification.

5) Disconnect brake pipe (2) (connecting between master cylin-
der secondary side and 4-way joint) from master cylinder (1).
Tighten plug (special tool) to master cylinder.
Depress brake pedal. If rear brake pressure is 95 – 100
kg/cm
2 when front brake pressure is 100 kg/cm2, it means
that front fail-safe system functions properly.

CHECK FOR FRONT BRAKE AFTER INSTALLATION
Mount tires and make certain that they rotate smoothly, with a
force of less than 3.0 kg (6.6 Ib).
If tire rotation is heavy, check the following:
Piston, piston seal and cylinder slide bush of caliper for
installation.
Wheel bearings for breakage.
Disc for flatness (Improper flatness brings disc into contact
with lining during rotation and makes rotation heavy).
To check this, measure disc deflection.NOTE:
For above check the following must be observed.
Jack up front wheels, both right and left, off the
ground.
Shift transfer shift lever to 2H (rear wheel) position (if
equipped) and start engine for a few seconds then
stop.
Side figure shows outer periphery of tire.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal when checking
tire for rotation.
