Disc Brakes

DISC BRAKES





1. Remove park brake boot from console by squeezing in sides while pulling upward.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED AND SQUARELY POSITIONED ON THE HOIST. TO HELP AVOID PERSONAL INJURY WHEN A VEHICLE IS ON A HOIST, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE END FROM WHICH COMPONENTS ARE BEING REMOVED.

2. Raise vehicle on hoist enough to remove rear wheels.
3. Remove rear wheel and tire assemblies.
4. Access to the park brake shoe adjuster is through a hole in the front face of the rotor.





5. Using a medium size flat blade screwdriver, turn adjuster at rear rotor until brake disc locks. Turn back adjuster until brake disc just moves freely.
6. Pull park brake lever to third click.
7. Tighten adjuster nut on park brake lever until the rear wheel can just be turned by hand (heavy drag), equal to both rear wheels.





NOTICE: After installation of any new park brake system component(s) (e.g., park brake lever, cable, drum brake shoes, adjuster, lever, rear disc brake caliper, etc.), the park brake system must be set prior to performing final park brake adjustment. To set the park brake system after performing initial adjustment, pull up on the park brake lever three or four times with approximately 445 N (100 lbs.) of force.

8. Apply and release park brake several times. There should be no drag when park brake lever is in the rest position.
9. Pull park brake lever to third click. There should be heavy drag at both wheels when turned by hand.
10. If necessary, repeat steps 3 through 5 until adjustment is correct.

IMPORTANT: If both rear wheels do not exhibit similar drag in steps 3 through 5. check for damaged or incorrectly installed rear disc or drum brake assembly components, park brake cables, and/or park brake lever assembly. Correct as necessary; return to step 3 of this procedure.





11. Install park brake lever boot.

NOTICE: Before installing wheels, remove rust or corrosion from wheel mounting surfaces and brake rotors. Failure to do so can cause wheel bolts to loosen in service.

12. Position wheel and tire assembly onto hub.
13. Install wheel bolts and tighten in a crisscross pattern.
13.1 Hand tighten all five wheel bolts.
13.2 Use a torque wrench to tighten wheel bolts using a crisscross pattern.
Torque:
Wheel Bolts (Initial Torque): 63 Nm (46 ft. lbs.)
13.3 Use a torque wrench to final tighten wheel bolts using a crisscross pattern.
Torque:
Wheel Bolts (Final Torque): 125 Nm (92 ft. lbs.)
14. Lower vehicle from hoist.
