REMOVAL
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne particles or other mate-
rials.
Be careful of the following:
Remove the disc rotor only with the parking brake lever completely in the returned position.
If disc rotor cannot be removed, remove as follows:
1. Fix the disc rotor in place with wheel nuts and remove disc rotor
plug. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, rotate star wheel on the
adjuster assembly in direction “B” to retract and loosen brake
shoes.
1. Return spring 2. Adjuster assembly 3. Shoe

PARKING BRAKE SHOE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Lining Thickness Inspection
Check the thickness of the lining.
Drum Inner Diameter Inspection
Check the inner diameter of the drum.
Other Inspections
Check shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.
Check anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.
Check return spring for sagging.
Does the adjustor move smoothly?
Check either visually or with a vernier caliper to see if there is any excessive wear, cracks, or damage
inside the drum.
INSTALLATION
Be careful of the following:
Refer to “Component Parts Location” and apply brake grease to the specified points during assembly.
Orientation of the adjuster is different from left to right. Assemble
the adjuster so that threaded part expands when rotating it in the
direction shown by the arrow.
Collapse the adjuster to assemble
When disassembling the adjuster, apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cupry-
sil) grease or silicone-based grease to the threads.
After replacing brake shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not
function well, perform break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the specified stroke.
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag run) operation by driving
the vehicle under the following conditions:
3. After break-in operation, check lever stroke of the parking brake. Readjust if it is no longer at the specified
stroke.
To prevent the lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period of approximately 5 minutes after every
break-in operation.
Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may cause uneven or early wear of the lining.Standard
