different brands and qualities.

Dismount :

- the brake drum ( see the correspond-

ing paragraph);

- the two maintenance springs (R) of

the shoes with a brake cylinder rod (T).

By means of the pliers FR05A the brake cyl-

inder pistons are immobilized.

Remove the return upper spring of the shoes

using the pliers FR03.

automatic clearance taking over, is de-
pending of the spring tensioning (E),
that is caught between the rear shoe and
the auxiliary connecting rod.

Measure the value  H=1mm, between the

auxiliary connecting rod and the front shoe. If
the value H is not correct, replace the auxil-
iary connecting rod spring (E) and the shoes
