Rear Brake Drum Removal and InstallationS6RW0D4306002
Removal
1) Hoist vehicle and remove rear wheel.
2) Release parking brake lever.
3) Remove brake drum (1) by using 8 mm bolts (2) (2
pcs).
Installation
1) Before installing brake drum, to maximize brake
shoe-to-drum clearance, put screwdriver between
rod and ratchet and push down ratchet.
NOTE
The figure show ratchet position where brake
shoe-to-drum clearance is maximum.

2) Confirm that inside of brake drum and brake shoes
are free from dirt and oil. And then install brake
drum.
3) Start engine and then depress brake pedal with
about 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load at least 3 times until
adjuster actuator clicking sound from drum brake
can not be heard so as to obtain proper drum-to-
shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable referring to “Parking
Brake Inspection and Adjustment in Section 4D”.
4) Install rear wheel.
5) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from
dragging and proper braking is obtained. Perform
brake test (foot brake and parking brake).

Brake Drum
Inspect brake drum for wear.
If drum inner diameter is exceeds the limit or uneven or
stepped wear is excessive, replace the drum.

Cracked, Scored or Grooved Drum
A cracked drum is unsafe for further service and must be
replaced. Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring
will cause excessive brake lining wear and it will
probably be necessary to resurface drum braking
surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved,
drum should be polished with fine emery cloth in the
direction of drum depth but not circumferentially along
drum inner.
NOTE
When drum is removed, visually inspect
wheel cylinder for brake fluid leakage.
Correct leaky point, if any.

Brake Shoe
Measure thickness of brake shoe (1). Also, check
surface of lining for hardening, excessive wear and oil.
Rear brake shoe lining thickness
“a”
Standard: 4.0 mm (0.157 in.)
Limit: 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)
CAUTION!
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is
polished with sandpaper, hard particles of
sandpaper will be deposited in lining and
may damage drum. When it is required to
correct lining, replace it with a new one.

Rear Brake Shoe On-Vehicle InspectionS6RW0D4306004
Amount of brake shoe wear can be checked as follows.
1) Hoist vehicle.
2) Remove rubber cover (plug) (1) from brake back
plate.
3) Through hole of back plate, visually check for
thickness of brake shoe lining (2). If lining thickness
is less than specified wear limit, replace all brake
shoes with new ones.
Lining thickness “a”
Service limit: 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)
Rear Brake Shoe Removal and InstallationS6RW0D4306005
NOTE
When replacing brake shoe, replace it on the
right and left.

Removal
1) Remove brake drum referring to “Rear Brake Drum
Removal and Installation”.
2) Push and rotate 90° hold down pin (1) and remove
hold down pin (1) and hold down spring (2).

Installation
Install parts in reverse order of removal, noting the
following.
• Before installing rear brake shoe to brake back plate,
clean brake back plate and apply heat-resistance
brake grease to A on which shoe rims rest.
• Push and rotate 90° hold down pin and install hold
down pin and hold down spring.
• Install brake drum referring to “Rear Brake Drum
Removal and Installation”.Rear Brake Shoe InspectionS6RW0D4306006
• Check ratchet of brake adjuster (1) assembly for wear
or damage.
• Check shoe return spring, antirattle spring, quadrant
spring and shoe hold down spring for damage,
corrosion and weakening.
• Check for smooth movement of brake shoe lever (2)
along shoe rim.
If any defective or malfunction is found, repair or replace.
Wheel Cylinder Removal and InstallationS6RW0D4306007
Removal
1) Remove brake drum referring to “Rear Brake Drum
Removal and Installation”.
2) Remove brake shoe referring to “Rear Brake Shoe
Removal and Installation”.
3) Loosen brake pipe flare nut (1) but only within the
extent that fluid does not leak.
