Note: Before you begin, please refer to the Note given at the beginning Chapters 9, and the Warning given at the beginning Chapters 21 (regarding asbestos dust).
Removal
1. Remove the rear wheel hub (see Section 10).
2. Compress the spring and unhook the handbrake cable from the operating lever on the driven brake shoe. Disconnect the handbrake cable from the support shield by releasing it from the guide. Then knock out the cable housing bushing.
3. Minimize fluid loss by removing the master cylinder reservoir cap and re-tightening it with a piece of polyethylene placed under the cap (do not damage the level sensor). This will create a tight seal and prevent fluid from escaping. Alternatively, clamp the hose with a clamp, vice grip or similar tool, or plug the metal brake pipe immediately after separating it from the cylinder (see Chapter 10). In addition, it is necessary to seal the cylinder hole; work very carefully to prevent foreign particles from entering the system.
4. Unfasten the drum brake support shield and remove it (see photo).
Installation
5. Install in the reverse order of removal. Apply a small amount of sealant to the contact surfaces of the support shield/trailing arm. Tighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque Specifications (see relevant Chapters Sections 1 and 10, as well as this Section).
