11. Brake Shoe Removal
NOTE: Before you begin any axle/brake service procedures,
park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. Support the
vehicle and axle(s) with safety stands. DO NOT work
under a vehicle supported only by jacks. Jacks can
slip or fall over. Serious personal injury and damage
to components can result.
Failure to properly support the vehicle and
axles prior to commencing work could
create a crush hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Release trailer brakes and cage spring brakes according
to spring brake manufacturer’s instructions. Remove tire
and wheel assembly to access hub and drum.
2. Remove drum from hub using support device such as a
drum dolly (Figure 24).
Failure to support weight during installation
or removal of brake drum could create a
crush hazard which, if not avoided, could
result in minor to moderate injury.
NOTE: It is necessary to retract brake shoes in accordance
with brake adjuster’s manufacturer’s manual to
allow brake drum to clear brake shoes during
brake drum removal.
3. Using the brake spring pliers, unhook both brake
retaining springs from the brake shoes (Figure 25).
4. Press down on the lower brake shoe to disengage it
from the anchor pin. Move the lower shoe to the side
of the anchor bracket and lift the upper and lower shoes
(still connected by brake return spring) from the anchor
pins (Figure 26).
IMPORTANT: The brake return spring, brake shoe rollers
and roller retaining clips will remain on
the brake shoes during this procedure.
