Removal
WARNING: Although factory installed brake linings are made from asbestos free materials, some aftermarket brake lining may contain
asbestos. This should be taken into account when servicing a vehicle's brake system, when aftermarket brake linings may have been installed on
the vehicle. Always wear a respirator when cleaning brake components as asbestos can cause serious bodily harm such as asbestosis and or
cancer. Never clean brake components by using compressed air, use only a vacuum cleaner specifically designed for the removal of brake dust.
If a vacuum cleaner is not available, clean brake parts using only water-dampened shop towels. Do not create brake lining dust by sanding
brake linings when servicing a vehicle. Dispose of all dust and dirt suspected of containing asbestos fibers using only sealed airtight bags or
containers. Follow all recommended safety practices; prescribed by the Occupational Safety And Health Administration (OSHA) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for handling and disposal of products containing asbestos.
1. Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a hoist.
2. Remove the rear wheel and tire assemblies from the vehicle.
3. Remove rear brake drum to hub retaining nuts (if equipped). Then remove rear brake drums from hub and bearing assemblies.
NOTE: When creating slack in the park brake cables by locking out the automatic adjuster, be sure that the park brake pedal is in the released
(most upward) position.
4. Create slack in the rear park brake cables. Slack is created by grabbing exposed section. of front park brake cable and pulling it down and
rearward. Slack is maintained in the park brake cable by installing a pair of locking pliers on the park brake cable just rearward of only the rear
body outrigger bracket.
