Make sure that adjuster moves smoothly.
Visually check the inside of drum for excessive wear, cracks, and damage.
Replace with new parts as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Refer to PB-6, "Exploded View" and apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or equivalent to the specified
points during installation.
Assemble adjusters so that threaded part is expanded when rotating it in the direction as shown.

SFIA2426E
Check parking brake shoe sliding surface and drum inner surface for grease. Wipe off all grease adhering to
the friction surfaces.
NOTE:
After replacing the parking brake shoes or disc rotors, or if the parking brake does not function properly, perform the break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke to the specified amount. Refer to PB-3, "On-Vehicle Service".
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag run) operation by driving and performing the following steps:
Drive forward at a constant speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Apply the parking brake for approximately 10 seconds at an operating force at approximately 400 N (40
kg-f, 88 lb-f).
CAUTION:
To prevent lining from getting too hot, allow cool off period of approximately 5 minutes after
every break-in operation.
Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may cause uneven or early wear of lining.
3. After break-in operation, check that the parking brake pedal stroke is at specification and adjust again as
necessary. Refer to PB-3, "On-Vehicle Service".
