3.
Set a 1/2" drive ratcheting torque wrench to 88 Nm (65 lb-ft).
Notice:
Ensure that the torque wrench is capable of measuring torque in both directions. Some torque wrenches do not measure torque in the counter
clockwise direction. Application of more than the specified torque may cause damage to the caliper assembly.
4.
Attach the applicable extension below to the torque wrench and the torque tool CH 48051, park brake actuator.
-
Extension for vehicles equipped with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) (FE4/FE5): LH & RH: 5"
-
Extensions for vehicles equipped with Twist Axle (FE1/FE2/FE3): LH: 5" RH: 3.5"
5.
Attach the tool CH 48051 over the parking lever and rotate the lever toward the parking bracket (conduit attachment point; rotation direction will
vary depending on side of the vehicle) until the 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) load is applied.
6.
Check the index mark on the nut and lever.
-
If the full 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) load was applied and the index mark still aligns, the shaft is acceptable. Caliper replacement is not required.
-
If 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) or less was applied and the index mark no longer aligns, the caliper must be replaced.
7.
Perform Steps 2 thru 6 on both sides of the rear axle of the vehicle.
8.
If either or both calipers require replacement, follow SI document 1591863 (Brake Caliper Replacement - Rear).
