from the arms on the brakes by removing the
hairpin clips. See Figure 22.6.
NOTE: The brake rods must be moved out of the
way to gain wrench access to the socket head
cap screws that hold the input and output arms
to the brake pivot shaft. The brake rods may be
removed entirely, at the technician’s discretion.
22.7. If either of the arms (input or output) are to be
removed, disconnect the brake link rod and
steering lock rods using a pair of 1/2” wrenches.
22.8. Engage the parking brake to bring the nut up to
an angle that it can be reached with a wrench.
22.9. Remove the cap screws that connect the input
and output arms to the brake pivot shaft using a
1/2” wrench and a 1/4” allen wrench.
See Figure 22.9.

necessary, or simply jockeyed back and forth to
service the arms an bushings.

removal. New bushings should be installed from
the inside-out. See Figure 22.11.
