CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean all brake parts in cleaning fluid and wipe
them dry.
It is particularly important that brake shoes
with lining removed be cleaned thoroughly.
Use steam,
solvent or wire brush to remove all traces of rust and
corrosion.
If any rust or corrosion is allowed to remain
on the lining surface or shoe table of the shoes, it is
possible that the lining may crack while being attached to
the shoe.
Brake drums should be thoroughly cleaned.
See "Brake
Drums".
REASSEMBLY
After the various components of the brake
assemblies have been serviced, the brakes may be
reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure.
It is recommended that newly installed brake
lining be circle ground before installing the brake drums.
Circle grinding the lining to fit drum assures full contact
between lining and drum.
The brake lining may either be circle ground
either when lining is installed on shoes (See "Brake
Lining and Shoes") or after shoes are installed on
vehicle.
The brake shoe grinder which mounts on the
spindle is used after installing shoes with new lining (Fig.
5).
The grinder rotates about on its axis, the grinding
head equalizes the distance between the two brake shoe
lining surfaces and the drum surface.
Grind the new
lining approximately .070" less than the inside diameter
of brake drum.
Make certain that the brake is fully
released before grinding.
