components and proceed to step 2.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is beyond the warranty period, replaced parts are not warranty eligible.
2.
Install replacement rear axle hub and brake drum assembly, part number 3231640 on each side of the rear axle. Refer to the axle hub replacement
procedures on pages 2F-14 and 2F-15 in the 1982 AMC Technical Service Manual.
3.
Install the rear wheels and tighten the wheel nuts alternately and evenly to 75 foot-pounds (102 N-m) torque.
CAUTION: To avoid distorting the hub and brake drums or damaging the wheel studs, do not overtighten the wheel nuts. Tighten them to specified
torque only.
BRAKESHOE BURNISHING
If the brakeshoe were replaced in step 1 of the service procedure, they must be burnished, as outlined in the following procedure.
1.
Make 10 to 15 hard stops in reverse, alternating with a forward stop between each reverse stop to adjust the brakes and provide maximum
shoe-to-drum contact during burnish stops.
2.
Drive the vehicle to an area free of traffic which has a speed limit of at least 40 mph.
CAUTION: The burnishing procedure in step 3 requires frequent stops. The brakes must be allowed to cool between stops while burnishing. With an
outdoor temperature of 45~F (7~C) or below allow 0.6 mile between stops, For every 10~F (-12~C) increase in outdoor temperature allow
an additional 0.1 mile cooling distance between stops.
3.
With vehicle in high gear and traveling 40 mph, brake the vehicle at a smooth, even rate to decrease vehicle speed from 40 mph to 0 in no more
than 5 seconds and no less than 4 seconds. Stops which take more than 5 seconds will not burnish the lining fast enough. Stops which take less
than 4 seconds might eventually cause overheating. To adequately burnish new brake lining, 40 to 50 stops are required.
