2. NOTICE: Care must be used when servicing rear brake components without disconnecting the parking brake cable from the brake
caliper lever. Carefully position the caliper aside using a suitable support or damage to the parking brake cable end fittings can occur.
NOTICE: Do not allow the caliper and anchor plate assembly to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose can occur.
Remove the bolts and position the brake caliper aside.
-
Support the caliper using mechanic's wire.
3. Remove the brake disc.
4. Remove the parking brake shoe adjuster spring and adjuster.
5. NOTE: The brake shield has an access hole knockout that must be removed to allow for the removal of the wheel stud.
Using a suitable punch, remove the access hole cover from the brake shield.
6. NOTE: Make sure that the wheel stud is aligned with the recessed area of the wheel knuckle.
Using the C-Frame and Screw, press the wheel stud until it makes contact with the edge of the wheel knuckle.
7. Route the wheel stud through the access hole and discard the wheel stud.
Installation
1. Position the new wheel stud aligning the serrations in the wheel hub made by the original wheel stud.
2. NOTICE: Do not use power tools to install the wheel stud. The serrations on the stud can be stripped.
NOTE: Do not use the wheel nut that came with the vehicle.
NOTE: Make sure to use washers that have an ID that is larger than the OD of the wheel stud serrations. Use enough washers (approximately 4) to
allow the wheel stud to fully seat against the hub flange.
Place approximately 4 flat washers over the outside end of the wheel stud and thread a standard wheel nut with the flat side against the washers.
Tighten the wheel nut until the wheel stud seats against the back side of the wheel extension.
-
Discard the wheel nut and washers.
3. NOTICE: A plug must be installed in place of the knockout to prevent contamination to the parking brake shoe assemblies.
