3c. Remove the outer caliper housing.
See Figure 2.76.
3d. Slip the rotor off of the brake shaft. It will
clear the shift arm assembly.
See Figure 2.77.
3e. Slide the inner caliper housing off of the
two bolts that locate it. See Figure 2.78.
3f. Installation is essentially the reversal of
the removal process.
4. Parking brake operation and construction:
• The friction surfaces of the pads and rotor must
be clean and in good condition.
• Tighten the nuts according to the torque table
that accompanies this section of the chapter.
NOTE: Caliper operation: See Figure 2.79.
• The caliper is actuated by a cam-arm that forces
a steel “bullet” against a heavy steel backing
plate.
• The backing plate and pad are “doubleD”
shaped, although one flat is longer than the
other.
