system by hand to see if it operates smoothly. Also see if the
gears are in proper mesh with each other. To assure smooth
operation, apply a very thin coat of multipurpose grease to
the friction surface of the adjuster and link shaft.

The shoes for the right and left wheels should be replaced
at the same time. Never split or intermix brake shoe seats.
All four shoes must be replaced as a complete set.
2. Inspect the wheel cylinder boot for evidence of a brake fluid
leak. Visually check the boot for cuts, tears or heat cracks.

may be preservative fluid used at assembly.) Check the
Brake Shoes for Wear.
