REMOVE BRAKE APPLY INDICATORS AND LEFT BRAKE APPLY SHAFT
NOTE
Make sure that the right cover assembly is turned so that the internal side points up.
Outer retaining rings may or may not be on the left brake apply shaft and the right brake apply
cam shaft. These retaining rings are supplied to keep external brake linkage.
You must hold the left brake apply shaft in position with a wooden block or by hand to keep it
from falling out of the end cover after removal of retaining rings and indicator.
1. Put a wooden block under the right cover assembly (Figure 1, Item 5) and another under the left brake apply
shaft (Figure 1, Item 1).
2. Remove four retaining rings (Figure 1, Item 3), two from left brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 1) and two
from right brake apply cam shaft (Figure 1, Item 4).
3. Remove two indicators (Figure 1, Item 2), one from left brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 1) and one from
right brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 4).
CAUTION
Put protective material, such as masking tape, on the splines unless the seal is to be replaced.
If the shaft goes through the seal without protection, the splines on the shaft will cause damage
to the seal.
4. Clean the left brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 1) and the right brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 4).
5. Put masking tape on splines and on the end of the left brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 1) and the right brake
apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 4).
6. Put petrolatum on tape on the left brake apply shaft (Figure 1, Item 1) and also on the right brake apply
shaft (Figure 1, Item 4).
