Brake Shoe: Service and Repair
Installation
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean metal portion of brake shoes. Check to see if shoes are bent. Lining should show contact across entire width and from heel to toe, otherwise
replace. Shoes with lack of contact at toe or heel may be improperly ground. Clean and inspect support and adjusting screws. Apply a thin coat of
Mopar Multi-Purpose Lubricant or equivalent to the threads of the self adjuster. Replace adjusting screw if corroded. If old springs have
overheated or are damaged, replace. Overheating indications are paint discoloration or distorted end coils.
PROCEDURE
1. Lubricate the eight shoe contact areas on the support plate and anchor using Mopar Multi-Purpose Lubricant or equivalent.
2. Assemble front and rear brake shoe assembly, automatic adjuster screw and upper return spring before installation on brake support plate.
