These volumes should provide Service Technicianswith complete information covering normal service repairs on all 1972 model trucks built bythe Ford Companies in the U.S. and Canada. As changes in the product occur, thisinformation will be updated by Technical Service Bulletins that will supersede theinformation in the manual.

The table of contents on the first page of each volume indicates the general content of thebook and provides a handy tab locator to make it easy to find the first page of each"Group." That page will contain an index to "Parts" and the first page of each "Part"contains a detailed index which gives page location for each service operation covered. Pagenumbers are consecutive in each "Part."

To make reference easier, information has been broken down into smaller units so thatessentially there is now one "Part" for each component or system. Group numbers indicatethe volume in which the group may be found.

ADJUSTMENTS

WHEEL BALANCING

See the instructions provided with theRotunda Wheel Balancer.

Make certain that the brakes are notdragging before attempting to spin thewheels. On vehicles equipped with discbrakes, push the brake shoes into the cali-per to free the rotor.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGMAINTENANCE

Wheel bearings are adjustable to cor-rect for bearing and spindle shoulderwear. Satisfactory operation and long lifeof bearings depend on proper adjustmentand correct lubrication. If bearings areadjusted too tightly, they will overheat

and wear rapidly. An adjustment that isexcessively loose will cause pounding andcontribute to uneven tire wear, steeringdifficulties and inefficient brakes. Thebearing adjustment should be checked atregular inspection intervals.

Page 18: DEMO - 1972 Ford Truck Shop Manual Vol 1-5

11-01-2 General Wheel and Tire Service 11-01-2

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

WHEELS

Wheel stud nuts should be inspectedand tightened in the first 500 miles, toavoid accidental loosening of the wheels.Loose wheel stud nuts may cause shimmyand vibration. Elongated stud holes in thewheels may also result from the loosestud nuts.

Keep the wheels and hubs clean.Stones or lumps of mud wedged betweenthe wheel and drum will unbalance awheel and tire.

Check for damage that would affectthe runout of the wheels. Wobble orshimmy caused by a damaged wheel willeventually damage the wheel bearings.Inspect the wheel rims for dents thatcould permit air to leak from the tires.

TIRES

The tires should be checked fre-quently to be sure that the air pressuresagree with those specified for the tiresand vehicle model. Inspect the tire

threads, and remove all stones, nails,glass or other objects that may be wedgedin the thread. Check for holes or cuts thatmay permit air leakage from the tire, andmake the necessary repairs.

Inspect the tire side walls for cuts,bruises, and other damage. If internaldamage is suspected, demount the tirefrom the wheel for further inspection andrepair or replacement.

Check the tire valve for air leaks, andreplace the valve if necessary. Replaceany missing valve caps.

On F-100, 250, 350 and Econolinemodels, it is important that except fordeep dish (dual type) all be balanced.

Fig. 1 describes common tire wearconditions.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS

Wheel bearings are adjustable to cor-rect for bearing and spindle shoulderwear. Satisfactory operation and long lifeof bearings depend on proper adjustmentand correct lubrication If bearings are

adjusted too tightly, they will overheatand wear rapidly. An adjustment that isexcessively loose will cause pounding andcontribute to uneven tire wear, steeringdifficulties and inefficient brakes. Thebearing adjustment should be cracked atregular inspection intervals.

Front hubs and bearings should becleaned, inspected and lubricated when-ever the hubs are removed or al themileage/time periods indicated in themaintenance schedule.

New hub grease seals should be in-stalled when the hub is removed. An im-perfect seal may permit bearing lubricant

to reach the brake linings resulting infaulty brake operation and necessitatingpremature cleaning or replacement of lin-ings.

Bearing adjustment is described inPart 11-10 for front wheels. Part 11-12covers front drive bearing adjustment.Part 11-11, and 11-14 cover rear wheelbearing adjustments.

DESCRIPTION

FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Each front wheel and tire assembly isbolted to its respective front hub andbrake drum or rotor assembly. Two op-posed tapered roller bearings are in-stalled in each hub (Figs. 1, 2 and 3). Agrease retainer is installed at the innerend of the hub to prevent lubricant fromleaking into the drum. The entire assem-

bly is retained to its spindle by the locknut and/or adjusting nut and cotter pin.

FRONT WHEELASSEMBLY—FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

The front axles used on 4-wheel drivemodels are covered in Group 15, Parts15-30, 15-32 and 15-33 of this manual.

REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY

The rear wheel, hub, and drum assem-blies are connected to the rear axle shaftflanges and ride on two opposed taperedroller bearings. The inner end of eachaxle shaft is splined to the engine pow-ered differential.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

WHEEL REPLACEMENT

Light Vehicles

Removal1 Pry off the hub cap (if the vehicle is

so equipped), and loosen but do notremove the wheel stud nuts.

2. Raise the truck until the wheel andtire clear the floor.

3. Remove the wheel stud nuts and thewheel and tire from the hub anddrum.

Installation

1. Clean all dirt from the hub and drum.The replacement wheel and tire mustbe clean.

2. Position the wheel and tire on the huband drum, and install the wheel studnuts. Tighten the stud nuts enough tohold the wheel firmly in place. Al-ways tighten alternate nuts to drawthe wheel evenly against the hub anddrum.On dual wheels, be sure to back off

the outer nut before tightening the innernut. Then tighten the outer nut. Somedual wheels have mounting bolt holeswhich are alternately flared inward andoutward. These surfaces must be matedwhen the wheels are mounted. Fig. 4 il-lustrates the dual wheel radial alignmentlocating pin used on certain applications.3. Lower the vehicle to the floor, and

tighten the wheel stud nuts to thespecified torque. On a new vehicle,•and each time a wheel and tire is in-stalled, the wheel nuts should bechecked for tightness. When install-ing the hub cap, notice the wheelnubs. The hub cap should be posi-tioned on the wheel over one of theretaining nubs and the two locatingnubs. Be sure that the lip of the hubcap is firmly seated in the groove ofthe retaining nub, and then force thecap over the second retaining nub.Any other procedure necessitatesheavy pounding with possible damageto the hub cap. —

tighten the wheel stud nuts to thespecified torque. On new vehicles, andeach time a wheel and tire is installed,the wheel nuts should be checked fortightness.

TIRE REPLACEMENTPRECAUTIONS

The tire must be completely deflatedbefore removal, and the bead must not bedamaged by a tire iron.

After installation, a tube tire shouldbe inflated to recommended pressure, de-flated, and then inflated again to insurethat the tube is not folded inside the tire.Be sure the tube flap is properly posi-tioned before inflating the tire. On F-100and 250 series, it is important that eachfront and rear tire and wheel be balanced.On E-100 and E-300 all wheels should bebalanced. On U-100, and vehicles withdual rear wheels, only front wheelsshould be balanced.

When installing tires on vehiclesequipped with Safety Ledge rims, thor-oughly lubricate the tire beads. Inflatethe tire until the bead seats against therim of the wheel, then deflate to the speci-fied pressure.

Removing Conventional TubelessTire From Wheel

The tire can be demounted on amounting machine. Be sure that theouter side of the wheel is positioneddownward. If tire irons are used, followthe procedure given here.1. Remove the valve cap and core, and

deflate the tire completely.2. With a bead loosening tool, break

loose the tire side walls from thewheel (Fig. 5).

3. Position the outer side of the wheel

F1424-A

FIG. 5 Loosening Tire Bead

downward, and insert two tire ironsabout eight inches apart between thetire inner bead and the back side ofthe wheel rim. Use only tire ironswith rounded edges or irons designedfor removing tubeless tires.

4. Leave one tire iron in position, andpry the rest of the bead over the rimwith the other iron. Take small b:teswith the iron around the tire in orderto avoid damaging the sealing surfaceof the tire bead.

5. Stand the wheel and tire upright withthe tire outer bead in the drop centerwell at the bottom of the wheel. Insertthe tire iron between the bead and theedge of the wheel rim and pry thewheel out of the tire.

Mounting Conventional TubelessTire To Wheel

1. If a used tire is being installed removeall dirt from the tire.If a tire is being mounted to the origi-

nal wheel, clean the rim with emery clothor fine steel wool. Check the rim fordents.

If a new wheel is being installed, coata new valve with rubber lubricant andposition the valve to the new wheel. Usea rubber hammer or a valve replacingtool to seat the valve firmly against theinside of the rim.2. Apply RUGLYDE or a similar rub-

ber lubricant to the sealing surface onboth tire beads. With the outer sideof the wheel down, pry the beads overthe wheel rim with two tire irons. Donot use a hammer or mallet to forcethe beads over the rim.

3. Hold the beads against the rim flangesby positioning a tire mounting bandover the tire (Fig. 6). If a mountingband is not available, tie a tourniquetof heavy cord around the circumfer-ence and in the center of the tire.Tighten the cord with a tire iron. Cen-ter the tire on the wheel with a rubbermallet.

4. Give the tire a few quick bursts of air

Page 23: DEMO - 1972 Ford Truck Shop Manual Vol 1-5

11-02-4 Wheels and Tires Drop Center Rim 11-02-4

to seat the beads properly, then inflatethe tire to 40 psi pressure. Check tosee that the bead positioning rings(outer rings near the side walls) areevenly visible just above the rimflanges all the way around the tire. Ifthe rings are not even, deflate the tirecompletely and inflate it again.

5. When the rings are properly posi-tioned, deflate the tire to the recom-mended pressure.

Removing Tube Type Tire FromWheel

The drop center rim (Fig. 7) is usedfor either tube or tubeless tires.1. After completely deflating the tire by

removing the valve core, loosen thebeads, and force them into the dropcenter of the rim.

2. Using a pair of tire irons, pry thewheel out of the tire.

Mounting Tube Type Tire to Wheel

1. After inspection and cleaning of thetire and wheel, install the valve corein the inner tube and inflate the tubeuntil it is barely rounded out.

2. Position the tube in the tire, soap thetire beads, and force the bottom beadinto the drop center.

3. At a point on the wheel opposite thevalve, insert a tire iron between thetop bead and the rim, prying the beadover the rim.

4. Hold this iron in position, and withanother iron, pry the bead into posi-tion all the way around the rim. Donot use a hammer or mallet to forcethe beads over the rim.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

FRONT WHEEL GREASE SEALAND BEARING REMOVAL ANDINSTALLATION AND/ORREPACKING

Wheel bearing lubricant has beenchanged from sodium base grease to lith-ium base grease.

Sodium base grease is not compatiblewith lithium base grease and should notbe intermixed. Therefore, do not lubri-cate front and/or rear wheel bearingswithout first ascertaining the type oforiginal wheel bearing lubricant. Usageof incompatible bearing lubricants couldresult in premature lubricant breakdown.

If bearing adjustment will not elimi-nate looseness or rough and noisy opera-tion, the hub and bearings should be

cleaned, inspected, and repacked withspecified wheel grease. If the bearing cupsor the cone and roller assemblies areworn or damaged, they should be re-placed.

Light Vehicle

1. Raise the vehicle until the wheel andtire clear the floor and remove thewheel and tire from the hub. If thedrums will not remove easily, back offthe brake shoe adjusting screw so thatthe shoes do not contact the brakedrum. Remove the grease cap fromthe hub.

2. Remove the cotter pin, nut lock, ad-justing nut and washer from the spin-dle (Fig. 1, Part 11-02).

3. Remove the outer bearing cone and

roller. Pull the hub and drum assem-bly off the wheel spindle. Then,remove the discard, the grease re-tainer and the inner bearing cone androller from the hub. Remove all tracesof old lubricant from bearings, hubs,and axle spindle.

4. Inspect the cups for scratches, pits orcracks. If the cups are worn or da-maged, remove them with a drift.Clean the inner and outer bearingcones and rollers with solvent and drythem thoroughly. Do not spin thebearings dry with compressed air.

5. Inspect the cones and rollers forcracks, nicks, brinelling, or seizedrollers. Inspect the grease retainerand replace it if it is cracked, nicked,or dented. If the new grease retainer

is leather, soak it in light engine oil forabout 30 minutes before installation.

6. Cover the spindle with a clean clothand brush all loose dust and dirt fromthe brake assembly. Remove the clothfrom the spindle carefully to preventdirt from falling on the spindle.

7. Install the inner and outer bearingcups in the hub with the appropriateinstalling Tool (Fig. 1). Be sure to seatthe cups properly in the hub. Thecups will be properly seated whenthey are fully bottomed. Pack the in-side of the hub with C1AZ-19590-Bwheel bearing grease. Fill the hub un-til the grease is flush with the insidediameters of both bearing cups. Packthe bearing cones and rollers withwheel bearing grease. Use a bearingpacker for this operation. If a packeris not available, work as much lubri-cant as possible between the rollersand cages. Lubricate the cone surfaceswith grease.

8. Place the inner bearing cone androller in the inner cup and install thegrease retainer (Fig. 2) with the ap-propriate driving tool. Be sure thatthe retainer is fully bottomed. Installthe hub and drum on the wheel spin-dle. Keep the hub centered on thespindle to prevent damage to thegrease retainer or the spindle threads.

9. Install the outer bearing cone androller and the flat washer on the spin-dle, then install the adjusting nut.

10. Adjust the wheel bearing as outlinedunder Adjustments.

Medium, Heavy and Extra HeavyVehicles

There are two basic types of hub, discand cast, shown in Fig. 3. The basic de-sign of the hub bearings is the same in allhubs, but minor differences in size existbetween the various models. The outerbearing attaching parts differ accordingto front axle weight capacity as indicatedin Fig. 3. For further detailed views ofhubs, bearings and grease retainers SeeFig. 4.1. Raise the vehicle until the tires clear

DESCRIPTION

REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY

The rear wheel hub and brake drumassembly is attached to studs on the rearaxle shaft flange by three speed nuts. The

wheel and tire mounts on the same rearaxle shaft flange studs and is held againstthe hub and drum by the wheel nuts. Therear wheel bearing is pressed onto the

axle shaft just inside the shaft flange, andthe entire assembly is retained to the rearaxle housing by the bearing retainer p .atewhich is bolted to the housing flange.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

REMOVAL OF AXLE SHAFT

The rear axle shafts, wheel bearings,and oil seal can be replaced withoutremoving the differential assembly fromthe axle housing.

Synthetic wheel bearing seals areused. Removal and insertion of rear axleshafts must be performed with caution.The entire length of the shaft (includingspline) up the seal journal must passthrough the seal without cutting of theseal element during axle removal or in-stallation will result in early seal failure.1. Remove the wheel cover, wheel and

tire from the brake drum.2. Remove the nuts that secure the brake

drum to the axle shaft flange, thenremove the drum from flange.

3. Working through the hole provided ineach axle shaft flange, remove thenuts that secure the wheel bearing re-tainer plate. Then pull the axle shaftassembly out of the axle housing (Fig.1). The brake backing plate must notbe dislodged. Install one nut to holdthe plate in place after the axle shaftis removed.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLYFRONT WHEEL GREASE SEALAND BEARING REMOVAL ANDINSTALLATION AND/ORREPACKING

Wheel bearing lubricant has beenchanged from sodium base grease to lith-ium base grease.

Sodium base grease is not compatiblewith lithium base grease and should notbe intermixed. Therefore, do not lubri-cate front and/or rear wheel bearingwithout first ascertaining the type oforiginal wheel bearing lubricant. Usageof incompatible bearing lubricants couldresult in premature lubricant breakdown.

If bearing adjustment will not elimi-nate looseness or rough and noisy opera-tion, the hub and bearings should becleaned, inspected, and repacked withspecified wheel grease. If the bearing cups

or the cone and roller assemblies areworn or damaged, they should be re-placed.

DESCRIPTION

On all the full-floating axle wheelhubs with tapered roller bearings, a sealis installed behind the inner bearing tokeep the wheel bearing lubricant fromthe brake lining and brake drum (Figs.1 and 2).

The wheel bearings are packed withwheel bearing lubricant (C1AZ-19590-B)to provide initial lubrication until axlelubricant flows into the wheel hubs andbearings during vehicle operation. Onthese axles the wheel hub is ventedthrough the axle housing vent. The sealassembly (500-9000 Series) mounts onthe wheel hub and seals on a wear sleeve(wiper) which is installed on the axlehousing tube (Fig. 2).

The wear sleeves (500-9000 Series)must be installed squarely on the axlehousing using the appropriate tools (Fig.3). Do not use heat on the wear sleevesto facilitate installation. Use the propertool as shown in fig. 3. The sleeves aredesigned with flanges to eliminate thepossibility of installing the sleeves back-wards. Although preservative has beenapplied to the wear sleeve prior to pack-aging, a light oil (SAE-10 or its equiva-lent) should be applied to the wear sleeveto facilitate assembly of the sleeve to theaxle housing. After installation of thewear sleeve, the clearance between he endof the wear sleeve and inner wheel bear-ing shoulder should be 0.010 to 0.025 in-ches (Fig. 2).

The seal assembly is to be installed inthe wheel hub. The garter spring shouldbe checked to assure the spring is in thespring groove behind the primary seal lipafter the seal is in position. Before in-stalling the wheel, apply grease (C1.AZ-19590-B) between the lips of the seal.

The wheel bearing must be thoroughlycleaned and repacked with lithium basegrease (C1AZ-19590-B) before installingthe wheel assembly.

To prevent damage to the primary andsecondary lips of the seal assembly, alocator sleeve or tool should be used toguide the hub and drum onto the ax le. Anew seal assembly must be installedwhenever a wheel is removed.

DESCRIPTION

Hydraulically operated service brakesare standard equipment on all 100through 800 Series and on some 900 Se-ries trucks.

Automatic brake shoe adjusters areused on all 100 thru 900 Series truckswith hydraulic brakes.

A dual-master cylinder brake system(Figs. 1 through 4) is used as standardequipment on F-100 through F-350, E-100 through E-300, Bronco, and P-35O-400 vehicles. The dual master cylinder isalso used on F-500, L-900, LN-6OO-75O,F-6000-7000, LN-6OOO-7OOO, C-6000-7000 and B-5OO-75O Series vehiclesequipped with split hydraulic brakes.

Front Disc Brakes are available on F-250 and F-350 trucks.

The standard hydraulic brake systemon some vehicles may be assisted by avacuum booster installed as either stand-ard or optional equipment. Service infor-mation on the vacuum booster units isgiven in Parts 12-50, 12-52, 12-53, 12-54,and 12-60.

The dual, master cylinder contains adouble hydraulic cylinder with two fluidreservoirs, two hydraulic pistons (a pri-mary and secondary) and two residualcheck valves, located in the outlet ports(Fig. 5). The master cylinder secondarysystems outlet port is connected to thesecondary hydraulic circuit and the pri-mary system brake outlet port is con-nected to the primary hydraulic circuit.

The master cylinder primary and se-condary pistons function together when

the primary and secondary systems arefully operative.

Brake lines (tubes) are connectedfrom the brake master cylinder primaryand secondary system outlet ports to thepressure differential valve assembly(Figs. 5 and 6). The electrical brakewarning switch, and the brake lines(tubes) leading from the differential valveassembly to the front and rear wheelbrake cylinders are also shown in Figs. 6and 7.

On all 100-400 Series trucks the dualmaster cylinder primary and secondarycircuits actuate either the front or rearwheel brakes.

On 500-900 Series trucks with a splithydraulic system, each of the two linesfromthe dual-master cylinder actuatesone brake cylinder at each wheel (frontand rear) for vehicles with 15 by 3-inchfront brakes. On vehicles with 14 by 21/2-inch front duo-servo brakes, the sin-gle brake cylinders in both front wheelsare actuated by one line that also operatesone cylinder at each rear wheel. The linefrom the other master cylinder outletport actuates the remaining brake wheelcylinder at each rear wheel. Power boost-ers are frame-mounted on LN-5OO-6OOSeries models. Other 500-900 Series mod-els have dash-mounted boosters.

C-Series models is equipped with a singlemaster cylinder and internal drum brakesat all wheels. On all models except P-500,the drum brakes are self adjusting.

The standard hydraulic brake systemon some trucks is assisted by a vacuumbooster which may be installed as eitherstandard or optional equipment.

DRUM BRAKES

All Ford truck models have internalexpanding shoes, except the F-250 andF-350 which may have front disc brakes.The different types of brake assembliesvary in the way that the shoes are an-chored, in the number of wheel cylindersused at each wheel, and in the number ofpistons in the wheel cylinder.

In the single anchor type, both brakeshoes are mounted to the same anchorand are actuated by one wheel cylinder.In the duo-servo, single anchor brake, thewheel cylinder has two pistons. One pis-ton exerts force against the upper end ofthe primary shoe; the other piston exertsforce against the upper end of the second-ary shoe (Figs. 7 and 8).

In the double anchor type, each shoeis mounted to a separate anchor. Theshoes are actuated by one duo-servo (twopiston) cylinder at the upper end.

The front wheels of some trucks areequipped with two cylinders, each havingone piston. The piston in one cylinderexerts force against one end of one shoe;the piston in the other cylinder exertsforce against the opposite end of the othershoe.

The rear wheels of some vehicles areequipped with two cylinders, each havingtwo pistons (four pistons total). Each ofthe four pistons exert force against oneend of one shoe (Fig. 9).

TESTING

BRAKE SYSTEM PRELIMINARYCHECKS

1. Always check the fluid level in thebrake master cylinder reservoir(s)before performing the test proce-dures. If the fluid level is not within1/4 inch of the top of the master cyl-inder reservoirs, add Ford BrakeFluid-Extra Heavy Duty-Part Num-ber C6AZ-19542-A (ESA-M6C25-A)or equivalent for all brake applica-tions. The extra heavy duty brakefluid is colored blue for identificationpurposes. Do not mix low tempera-ture brake fluids with the specifiedbrake fluid.Push the brake pedal down as far as

it will go. If the pedal travels more thanhalfway between the released positionand the floor, adjust the brakes. If thevehicle is equipped with automatic brakeadjusters, several sharp brake applica-tions while backing up may be necessaryto adjust the brakes.

Road test the vehicle and apply thebrakes at a speed of about 20 mph to seeif the vehicle stops evenly. If not, thebrakes should be adjusted. Perform theroad test only when the brakes will applyand the vehicle can be safely stopped.

DUAL BRAKE WARNING LIGHTSYSTEM TESTS

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ACCor ON position. If the light on thebrake warning lamp remains on, thecondition may be caused by a shortedor broken switch, grounded switchwires or the differential pressure valveis not centered. Centralize the differ-ential pressure valve as outlined un-der Hydraulic System Bleeding andCentralizing of the Differential Valvein this Section of the manual. If thewarning light remains on, check theswitch connector and wire for agrounded condition and repair or re-place the wire assembly. If the condi-tion of the wire is good, replace thebrake warning lamp switch.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the startposition. If the brake warning lampdoes not light, check the light andwiring and replace or repair wiring asnecessary.When both brake systems are func-

tioning normally, the equal pressure atthe pressure differential valve duringbrake pedal application keeps the valvecentered. The brake warning light will beon only when the ignition key is in theSTART position.3. If the brake warning lamp does not

light when a pressure differential con-

dition exists in the brake system, thewarning lamp may be burned out, thewarning lamp switch is inoperative orthe switch to lamp wiring has an opencircuit. Check the bulb and replace it,if required. Check the switch to lampwires for an open circuit and repairor replace them, if required. If thewarning lamp still does not light, re-place the switch.

POWER BRAKE FUNCTION TEST

With the engine stopped, eliminate allvacuum from the system by pumping thebrake pedal several times. Then push thepedal down as far as it will go, and notethe effort required to hold it in this posi-tion. If the pedal gradually moves down-ward under this pressure, the hydraulicsystem is leaking and should be checkedby a hydraulic pressure test.

With the brake pedal still pusheddown, start the engine. If the vacuum sys-tem is operating properly, the pedal willmove downward. If the pedal positiondoes not change, the vacuum system isnot operating properly and should bechecked by a vacuum test.

FRAME-MOUNTED VACUUMBOOSTER CHECK VALVE TEST

Disconnect the line from the bottomof the vacuum check valve, and connecta vacuum gauge to the valve. Start theengine, run it at idle speed, and check thereading on the vacuum gauge.

The gauge should register 17-19 in-ches with standard transmission and 14-15 inches in Drive range if equipped withan automatic transmission. Stop the en-gine and note the rate of vacuum drop.If the vacuum drops more than one inchin 15 seconds, the check valve is leaking.If the vacuum reading does not reach 18,or is unsteady, an engine tune-up is neces-sary.

Remove the gauge and reconnect thevacuum line to the check valve.

VACUUM BOOSTERTEST—DIAPHRAGM TYPE

This procedure can be used to test alldiaphragm boosters which are equippedwith a pipe thread outlet on the atmos-phere portion of the diaphragm chamber.

Remove the pipe plug from the rearhalf of the booster chamber, and installa vacuum gauge. Start the engine and runit at idle speed. The gauge should register18-21 inches of vacuum.1. With the engine running, depress the

brake pedal with enough pressure toshow a zero reading on the vacuum

gauge. Hold the pedal in the appliedposition for one minute. Any down-ward movement of the pedal duringthis time indicates a brake fluid leak.Any kickback (upward movement) ofthe pedal indicates brake fluid is leak-ing past the hydraulic piston checkvalve.

2. With the engine running, push downon the brake pedal with sufficientpressure to show a zero reading on thevacuum gauge. Hold the pedal down,and shut the engine off. Maintainpedal position for one minute. A kick-back of the pedal indicates a vacuumleak in the vacuum check valve, in thevacuum line connections, or in thebooster.

ADJUSTMENTS

AIR CHECK BOOSTER PUSH RODADJUSTMENT—MIDLAND ROSSBOOSTER (DASH-MOUNTED)

Whenever the master cylinder orbooster has been repaired or replaced, thebrake system must be checked for properreturn flow of hydraulic brake fluid fromthe wheel cylinders to the reservoir of themaster cylinder. This check will assurethat the brake booster to master cylinderpush rod is properly adjusted to allow themaster cylinder compensating valve toopen when the brake pedal is in the fullyreleased position.

The air check is made after the brakebooster and master cylinder has been in-stalled and before the master cylinder hy-draulic line connection is made and thereservoir is filled with brake fluid.1. Connect the brake vacuum line to the

vacuum booster, if required. Start theengine.

2. Carefully position the nozzle of an airhose to the master cylinder dischargeport. Place a hand over the mastercylinder reservoir and apply air pres-sure through the air hose nozzle.Be careful not to allow dirt to enter

into the system.If free passage air pressure is felt on

the hand located over the master cylinderreservoir, the brake booster push rod isproperly adjusted.

If no air pressure is felt on the handlocated over the reservoir, the master cyl-inder must be removed and the push rodlength shortened. To shorten the push rodlength, turn the acorn-type screw on thebrake booster push rod inward, one turnat a time, until the air check shows thebrake master cylinder compensatingvalve is open.

BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

FIG. 10 Pedal Free Travel Check

On dual-brake master cylinder orbrake mounted vacuum booster equippedvehicles, the brake systems are designedto permit full stroke of the master cylin-der when the brake pedal is fully de-pressed. A brake pedal clearanceadjustment is not required.

In order to release the brakes, fluidin a hydraulic brake system must flowback to the master cylinder when pedalpressure is released. A port is providedin the master cylinder to allow this flow,but the piston must move back far enoughto expose the return port. To be sure thatthis will always happen, free-travel isbuilt into the pedal linkage on standardand on frame-mounted booster systems.This free-travel prevents the piston frombecoming trapped in a partially releasedposition. Pedal free travel is not alwaysperceptible in dash-mounted booster sys-tems, however, because the operatingclearance for the piston is adjusted at thebooster push-rod, rather than the pedallinkage. (Refer to Parts 12-50,12-52 and12-58 for instructions on dash-mountedbooster push rod adjustments).

Pedal free travel is not adjustable on500-900 series trucks with a dash-mounted booster and a single or dual sys-tem or units with a dual system and aframe-mounted booster.

If the pedal free travel in a standardhydraulic brake system or frame-mounted hydraulic booster system is lessthan 3/16 inch or more than 3/8 inch(Fig. 10), the pedal should be adjusted.

To adjust free-travel:1. Push the brake pedal down by hand

pressure, and check the free travel.2. Loosen the lock nut on the eccentric

bolt, and rotate the eccentric bolt un-til the free travel is within 3/16-3/8inch.On a P-Series truck, turn the hex head

of the push rod to obtain the requiredfree-travel.3. Hold the bolt securely, and torque the

lock nut to 30-35 ft-lbs.4. Recheck the pedal free-travel to make

sure that the adjustment did notchange when the lock nut was tight-ened.

FRONT DISC BRAKES F-250 ANDF-350

The front disc brake assembly is de-signed so that it is inherently self-adjust-ing. Refer to Part 12-24.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING

When any part of the hydraulic sys-tem has been disconnected for repair orreplacement, air may get into the lines

and cause spongy pedal action. This re-quires the bleeding of the hydraulic sys-tem after it has been properly connectedto be sure all air is expelled from thebrake cylinders and lines. The hydraulicsystem can be bled manually or withpressure bleeding equipment.

When bleeding the brake system,bleed one brake cylinder at a time, begin-ning at the cylinder with the longest hy-draulic line first. If the brake assemblyis equipped with two cylinders, alwaysbleed the upper cylinder first. Keep themaster cylinder reservoir filled with thespecified C6AZ-19542-A extra heavyduty brake fluid during the bleeding op-eration. Never use brake fluid which hasbeen drained from the hydraulic system.

The procedure for bleeding the singlemaster cylinder on a C-Series truck ispresented separately from the standardhydraulic system bleeding procedures.

If the hydraulic system is equippedwith a vacuum booster, bleed the hydrau-lic section of the booster before bleedingthe rest of the system. On vehiclesequipped with a frame-mounted boosterand split hydraulic brake system, bleedthe two booster slave cylinders first thenagain after bleeding all the wheel cylin-ders. The bleeding operation must bedone with the engine off and with novacuum in the system. If the brake pedalis still spongy after the first bleeding, re-peat the bleeding procedure.

To bleed the hydraulic section of avacuum booster, follow steps 1 through4 of the manual bleeding procedure, at-taching the drain tube to the bleederscrew at the end plate of the booster (orthe bleeder screw nearest the powerchamber). Repeat this procedure at theother bleeder screw if the booster is soequipped.

On dual-brake system hydraulic mas-ter cylinder equipped vehicles, it will benecessary to centralize the pressure dif-ferential valve after a brake hydraulicsystem malfunction has been correctedand the hydraulic system has been bled.Before any attempt is made to bleed thesplit hydraulic brake system on 500-950Series trucks, remove the brake lightwarning switch from the pressure differ-ential valve. Failure to remove the switchfrom the valve could result in possibledamage to the switch assembly.

MANUALBLEEDING—CONVENTIONAL,SINGLE-BRAKE SYSTEMHYDRAULIC MASTER CYLINDER

1. Attach a rubber drain tube to thebleeder screw of the brake wheel cyl-inder. The end of the tube should fit

Page 58: DEMO - 1972 Ford Truck Shop Manual Vol 1-5

12-01-10 General Hydraulic Brake Service 12-01-10

snugly around the bleeder screw.2. Submerge the free end of the tube in

a container partially filled with cleanbrake fluid. Loosen the bleeder screw.

3. Push the brake pedal down slowly byhand, allowing it to return slowly tothe fully- released position. Repeatthis operation until air bubbles ceaseto appear at the submerged end of thetube.

4. When the fluid is completely free ofair bubbles, close the bleeder screwand remove the drain tube.

5. Repeat this procedure at each brakecylinder. Refill the master cylinderreservoir after each brake cylinder isbled with C6AZ-19542-A extra heavyduty brake fluid and when the bleed-ing operation is completed.

MANUALBLEEDING—DUAL-BRAKE SYSTEMHYDRAULIC MASTER CYLINDER

The primary and secondary hydraulicbrake systems are individual systems andare bled separately. Bleed the longest linefirst on the individual system being ser-viced. During the complete bleeding op-eration, DO NOT allow the reservoir torun dry. Keep the master cylinder reser-voirs filled with the specified brake fluid.Never use brake fluid that has beendrained from the hydraulic system.1. Remove the brake light warning light

switch from the pressure differentialvalve (Fig. 7) on 500-900 Seriestrucks.

2. Bleed the master cylinder at the outletport side of the system being serviced.On a master cylinder without bleed

screws, loosen the master cylinder to hy-draulic line nut. Operate the brake pedalslowly until the brake fluid at the outletconnection is free of bubbles, then tightenthe tube nut to the specified torque. Donot use the secondary piston stop screwlocated on the bottom of the master cylin-der to bleed the brake system. Looseningor removing this screw could result indamage to the secondary piston or stopscrew. Operate the brake pedal slowlyuntil the brake fluid at the outlet connec-tion is free of air bubbles, then tighten thebleed screw.3. Position a suitable 3/8 inch box

wrench (Fig. 11) on the bleeder fittingon the brake wheel cylinder. Attach

a rubber drain tube to the bleeder fit-ting. The end of the tube should fitsnugly around the bleeder fitting.

4. Submerge the free end of the tube ina container partially filled with cleanbrake fluid, and loosen the bleeder fit-ting approximately 3/4 turn.

5. Push the brake pedal down slowlythru its full travel. Close the bleederfitting, then return the pedal to thefully-released position. Repeat thisoperation until air bubbles cease toappear at the submerged end of thebleeder tube.

6. When the fluid is completely free ofair bubbles, close the bleeder fittingand remove the bleeder tube.

7. Repeat this procedure at the brakewheel cylinder on the opposite side.Refill the master cylinder reservoir af-ter each wheel cylinder is bled.When the bleeding operation is com-

plete, the master cylinder fluid levelshould be filled to within 1/4 inch fromthe top of the reservoirs.8. Centralize the pressure differential

valve. Refer to the Centralizing of thePressure Differential Valve proce-dures in this Section.

9. Install the brake warning light switchon the pressure differential valve on500-900 Series trucks.

PRESSUREBLEEDING—CONVENTIONALSINGLE-BRAKE SYSTEMHYDRAULIC MASTER CYLINDER

Be sure that the tank is clean andthere is enough of the specified brakefluid (C6AZ-19542-A extra heavy duty)in the bleeder tank to complete the bleed-ing operation and that the tank is chargedwith 10-30 pounds of air pressure. Neverexceed 50 pounds pressure.

On a C-Series truck with a single mas-ter cylinder, the master cylinder can onlybe bled manually. Therefore, bleed theentire hydraulic system first before bleed-ing the master cylinder.1. On a L-, LN-, or LT-Series truck,

clean all dirt from around the fillerhole on the top of the master cylinderreservoir, and attach the bleeder tankhose to the filler hole.On a C-Series truck with a single mas-

ter cylinder, disconnect the line from thebottom of the master cylinder and con-nect the line to the pressure bleeder tankhose. Install a 5/16 inch Weatherheadplug into the bottom of the master cylin-der.2. Attach a rubber drain tube to the

bleeder screw of the brake cylinder.The end of the tube should fit snuglyaround the bleed screw.

3. Submerge the free end of the tube ina container partially filled with cleanbrake fluid and then loosen the

bleeder screw.4. Open the valve on the bleeder tank to

admit pressurized brake fluid tc themaster cylinder reservoir (or line).

5. When air bubbles cease to appear inthe fluid at the submerged end of thedrain tube, close the bleeder screwand remove the tube.

6. Repeat this procedure at each brakecylinder.

7. When the bleeding operation is comp-leted, close the bleeder tank valvt: andremove the tank hose from the fillerhole.On a C-Series truck with a single mas-

ter cylinder, remove the line from thetank hose and connect it to the mastercylinder.8. On all vehicles, refill the master cylin-

der reservoir to within 1/4 inch fromthe top of the filler neck.

C-SERIES TRUCK SINGLE MASTERCYLINDER BLEEDING

1. Loosen the fittings at the bottom ofthe master cylinder, approximatelyone turn.

2. Wrap a shop cloth, or a piece of cleanwaste material, around the tubing be-low the fitting to absorb expendedbrake fluid.

3. Push the brake pedal down slowly byhand to the floor of the cab. This willforce air which may be trapped in themaster cylinder to escape at the fit-ting.

4. Hold the pedal down and tighten thefitting. Release the, brake pedal. Donot release the brake pedal until thefitting is tightened as additional airwill be introduced into the master cyl-inder.

5. Repeat this procedure until air ceasesto escape at the fitting and a firmpedal is obtained.

PRESSURE BLEEDING—DUALBRAKE SYSTEM HYDRAULICMASTER CYLINDER

Bleed the longest lines first. Thebleeder tank should contain enough ofthe specified brake fluid (C6AZ-19542-Aextra heavy duty) to complete the bleed-ing operation. The tank should becharged with approximately 10 to 30pounds of air pressure. Never exceed 50pounds pressure. Never use brake fluidthat has been drained from the hydraulicsystem.1. Remove the brake warning light

switch from the pressure differentialvalve on 500-900 Series trucks (Fig.7).

2. Clean all dirt from the master cylin-der reservoir cover.

Operate the brake pedalcarefully and gradually until the pres-sure differential valve is returned toa centralized position and the brakewarning light goes out. Tighten thetube nut.

2. Check the fluid level in the mastercylinder reservoirs and fill them towithin 1/4 inch of the top with thespecified C6AZ-19542-A extra heavyduty brake fluid.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFFposition.

500-900 Series Trucks with SplitHydraulic Brakes

The pressure differential valve usedwith the split hydraulic brake system hasa self centering spring. Use the followingprocedure to reset the valve:1. Remove the switch connector wire.2. Remove the threaded hex-shaped

electrical switch body from the centerof the valve. This allows the valve cen-tering springs to re-position the valve.

3. Install the electrical switch and con-nect the wire.

4. Apply the brakes a few times andcheck the operation of the warninglight. The light should go on with theignition switch in the START posi-tion only.

HYDRAULIC LINE REPAIR

Steel tubing is used in the hydrauliclines between the master cylinder and thefront brake tube connector (Fig. 12), andbetween the rear brake tube connector(Fig. 13) and the rear brake cylinders.Flexible hoses connect the brake tube tothe front brake cylinders and to the rearbrake tube connector.

When replacing hydraulic brake tub-ing, hoses, or connectors, tighten all con-nections securely. After replacement,bleed the brake system at the wheel cylin-ders and at the booster, if so equipped.

BRAKE TUBE

If a section of the brake tube becomesdamaged, the entire section should be re-placed with tubing of the same type, size,shape, and length. Copper tubing shouldnot be used in the hydraulic system.When bending brake tubing to fit theframe or rear-axle contours, be carefulnot to kink or crack the tube.

All brake tubing should be doubleflared to provide good leak-proof connec-tions. Always clean the inside of a newbrake tube with clean isopropyl alcohol.

OVERHAUL

BRAKE DRUM REFINISHING

Minor scores on a brake drum can beremoved with fine emery cloth, providedthe emery is thoroughly cleaned off thedrum after the operation.

A badly scored, rough, or out-of-round drum should be ground or turnedon a drum lathe. Do not remove anymore material from the drum than isnecessary to provide a smooth surface forthe brake shoe contact. Brake drum max-imum braking surface diameter is shownon each brake drum (Fig. 14). Brakedrums which exceed the maximum brak-ing surface diameter shown on the brakedrum, either through wear or refinishing,

must be replaced. The maximum brakingsurface diameter specification, which isshown on each brake drum, allows for a0.060 inch machining cut over the origi-nal nominal drum diameter plus 0.030inch additional wear before reaching thedrum-discard diameter.

BRAKE SHOE AND BANDREUNING

1. Remove the rivets and remove the oldlining.

2. Clean the shoe or band thoroughlywith cleaning fluid, especially the rimsurface. Wipe the shoe or band dry

and remove all burrs or rough spotsfrom the shoe.

3. On service brake, check the in side dia-meter of the brake drum.

4. Position the new lining on the shoe orband and install new rivets, beginningwith the rivet holes near the center ofthe shoe. On some vehicles, the pri-mary lining is shorter than the se-condary lining. If this conditionexists, position the shorter (primary)lining to line up with the heel end ofthe shoe. Do not let brake fluid, oilor grease touch the brake lining. If abrake lining kit is used to replace theworn linings, install all the parts sup-plied in the kit.

Page 61: DEMO - 1972 Ford Truck Shop Manual Vol 1-5

12-01-13 General Hydraulic Brake Service 12-01-13

5. Check the clearance between the lin-ing and shoe rim. The lining must seatsnugly against the rim with not morethan 0.005 inch separation midwaybetween any two rivets. If only thelinings are replaced on duo-servo sin-gle anchor brakes with fixed anchorpins, the brake linings must be camground 0.010 inch at the ends afterthe linings are riveted to the brakeshoe.

FRONT DISC BRAKES

1. Remove the wheel and tire, brakeshoe retainers, and the shoe and lin-ings as outlined in Part 12-24.

2. Make three thickness measurementswith a micrometer across the middlesection of the shoe and lining. Takeone reading at each side and one inthe center. If the assembly has wornto a thickness of 0.210 inch (Shoe andlining together) at any one of the threemeasuring locations, or if the liningshows evidence of brake fluid or oilcontamination that is causing a brakepull, replace all (4) shoe and liningassemblies.

3. Check caliper to spindle attachingbolt torque. Torque them to specifica-tion if required.

4. To check rotor runout, first eliminatethe wheel bearing end play by tighten-ing the adjusting nut. After tighteningthe nut, check to see that the rotor canstill be rotated.

5. Clamp a dial indicator to the spindle

H1834-A

FIG. 14 Brake Drum MaximumBraking Surface DiameterMarking Location—TypicalMedium—Heavy TruckShown

so that the stylus contacts the rotorat a point approximately 1 inch fromthe outer edge. Rotate the rotor andtake an indicator reading. If the read-ing exceeds 0.010 inch total lateralrunout within a six inch radius on the

indicator, replace or resurface the discbrake rotor. The following require-ments must be met when resurfacingdisc brake rotors (Fig. 15).Rotunda Disc Brake Refinishing

Lathe, Tool FRE-1466-B should be usedto refinish the disc brake rotors. The step-by-step resurfacing procedure providedwith the tool must be adhered to.

A maximum of 0.020 inch materialmay be machined equally off each surface(A and B) maintaining a 0.940 inch mini-mum thickness.

The finished braking surfaces of therotor must be flat and parallel within 0.-001 inch; lateral runout must not exceed0.010 inch total indicator reading withina six inch radius, and the surface finishof the braking surfaces are to be 15-80micro inches.

When the runout check is finished, besure to adjust the bearings as outlined inPart 11-10, in order to prevent bearingfailure.6. Check the rotor for scoring. Minor

socres can be removed with a fine em-ery cloth. If the rotor is excessivelyscored, refinish it as outlined in Step5 or replace the rotor if required.

7. Visually check the caliper. If it iscracked or if any leakage is evident,it should be replaced. Any leakagearound the dust boot indicates theneed for removal and disassembly.

8. Check brake hoses for signs of crack-ing, leaks, or abrasion. Replace ifnecessary.

BRAKE CYLINDER

1. Clean all brake cylinder parts in cleanisopropyl aocohol. Inspect all partsfor wear or damage. Check the cylin-der bore for rust, scores, or otherdamage. Be sure that the bleederscrew passage is clean and open. Re-place all parts that are worn or da-maged.

2. If dirt is found in any part of the hy-draulic system, flush the entire systemwith clean ispropyl alcohol.

MASTER CYLINDER

1. Clean all master cylinder parts inclean isopropyl alcohol, and inspectthe parts for wear or damage, replac-ing them as required. When a mastercylinder repair kit is used, install allof the parts supplied in the kit.

2. Check the ports and vents in the mas-ter cylinder to make sure that all areopen and free of foreign matter.

3. On a single brake system master cyl-inder, check to see if the spring valve(riveted to the front end of the piston)is loose or has moved so that the pis-ton ports are open, replace the piston.

4. Inspect the cylinder walls for scores

PRODUCTION WIDTHDIMINSION

MINIMUM OVERALLWIDTH-0.940 INCH

H1605-A

FIG. 15 Disc Brake Rotor ServiceLimits

or rust, and recondition them if neces-sary. Hone the cylinder walls no morethan necessary (0.003 inch max-imum), either to remove scores andrust, or to obtain a smooth wall sur-face. Remove any burrs or loose metalthat may have resulted from the hon-ing operation, and clean the cylinderwith clean isopropyl alcohol.

BRAKE DRUMS AND LININGS

1. After removing one front wheel anddrum and one rear wheel and drumfrom the vehicle, inspect the drumsand brake shoe linings for wear ordamage that would affect brake oper-ation. Do not let brake fluid, oil orgrease touch the drum or linings.

2. A brake shoe should be relined whenthe lining face is worn to within 1/32inch of any rivet head, or when thelining has been soaked with brakefluid, oil or grease. If a worn lining isnot replaced, the brake drum maybecome severely damaged. Always re-place the primary and secondarybrake shoe lining assemblies on bothfront or both rear brake assemblies atthe same time.

3. Before relining a brake shoe, inspectthe shoe for distortion, cracks, orlooseness between the rim and web. Ifone of these conditions exists, replacethe shoe. Do not attempt to repair adamaged brake shoe.

4. If the drum and linings are in goodcondition, install the wheel and drum.The condition of the drums and lin-ings of the opposite wheel will usuallybe about the same as that found at thewheel that was removed.

5. Add enough of the specified brakefluid to the master cylinder reservoirto bring the level to within 1/4 inchof the top of the filler neck.

6. Check to be sure that the parkingbrake handle is fully released beforemaking any brake adjustment.

7. Check the front brake anchor pin nutwith a wrench (on brake assemblieswith an adjustable anchor pin). If thebolt is loose, torque it to 80-100 ft-lbs.

ADJUSTMENTS

The brake drums should be at normalroom temperature, when the brake shoesare adjusted. If the shoes are adjustedwhen the shoes are hot and expanded, theshoes may drag as the drums cool andcontract.

A brake adjustment re-establishes thebrake lining-to-drum clearance and com-pensates for normal lining wear.

Adjustment procedures for each typeof brake assembly are given under theapplicable heading.

Self Adjusting Brakes—F-100-350,E-100-300, P-350-400 and Bronco

The brake shoes are automatically ad-justed when the vehicle is driven in re-verse and the brakes applied. A manualadjustment is required only after thebrake shoes have been relined or re-placed. The manual adjustment is per-formed while the drums are removed,using the tool and the procedure detailedbelow.

H 1411 - B

FIG. 1 Measuring Drum

When adjusting the rear brake shoes,check the parking brake cables for properadjustment. Make sure that the equalizeroperates freely.

To adjust the brake shoes:1. Use Rotunda Tool HRE865O, (Fig. 1)

and adjust to the inside diameter ofthe drum braking surface.

2. Reverse the tool as shown in Fig. 2.and adjust the brake shoes to touchthe gauge. The gauge contact pointson the shoes (Fig. 2) must be parallelto the vehicle with the center linethrough the center of the axle. Holdthe automatic adjusting lever out ofengagement while rotating the adjust-ing screw, to prevent burring thescrew slots. Make sure the adjustingscrew rotates freely. If necessary, lu-bricate the adjusting screw threadswith a thin, uniform coating ofC1AZ-19590-B grease.

3. Apply a small quantity of C1AZ-19590-B high temperature grease tothe points where the shoes contact thecarrier plate, being careful not to getthe lubricant on the linings.

4. Install the drums. Install the retainingnuts and tighten securely.

5. Install the wheels on the drums andtighten the mounting nuts to specifi-cations.

6. Complete the adjustment by applyingthe brakes several times while backingthe vehicle.

7. After the brake shoes have been prop-erly adjusted, check the operation ofthe brakes by making several stopswhile operating in a forward direc-tion.

and release of the cable should causethe adjuster spring to return the leverto its original position. This returnaction of the lever will turn the ad-justing screw one tooth.If pulling the cable does not produce

the action described, or if the lever actionis sluggish instead of positive and sharp,check the position of the lever on the ad-justing screw toothed wheel. With thebrake in a vertical position (anchor at thetop), the lever should contact the adjust-ing wheel one tooth above the center lineof the adjusting screw. If the contactpoint is below this center line, the leverwill not lock on the teeth in the adjustingscrew wheel, and the screw will not beturned as the lever is actuated by the ca-ble.

To determine the cause of this condi-tion:a. Check the cable end fittings. The cable

should completely fill or extendslightly beyond the crimped section ofthe fittings. If it does not meet thisspecification, possible damage is in-dicated and the cable assembly shouldbe replaced.

b. Check the cable guide for damage. Thecable groove should be parallel to theshoe web, and the body of the guideshould lie flat against the web. Replacethe guide if it shows damage.

c. Check the pivot hook on the lever. Thehook surfaces should be square withthe body on the lever for proper pivot-ing. Repair the hook or replace thelever if the hook shows damage.

d. See that the adjusting screw socket isproperly seated in the notch in theshoe web.

ing plate. Sand lightly to bare metal.2. Apply a light coat of (C1AZ-19590-

B) high temperature grease on theledge pads of the backing plate. Alsoapply C1AZ-1959O-B high tempera-ture grease to the retracting and hold-down spring contacts on the brakeshoes and backing plate.

3. Apply C1AZ-1959O-B high tempera-ture grease on the threads and socketend of the adjusting screw.

4. Install the upper retracting spring onthe primary and secondary shoes asshown in Fig. 9 and position the as-sembly on the backing plate with thewheel cylinder push rods positionedin the shoe slots.

5. Install the brake shoe hold-downsprings (Fig. 10).

6. Install the brake shoe adjustmentscrew assembly (the slot in the headof the adjusting screw toward the pri-mary shoe), lower retracting spring,adjusting lever spring, adjusting leverassembly and connect the adjustingcable to the adjusting lever. Positionthe cable in the cable guide and installthe cable anchor fitting on the anchorpin.Interchanging the brake shoe adjust-

ing screw assemblies from one side of thetruck to the other would cause the brakeshoes to retract rather than expand eachtime the automatic adjusting mechanismoperated. To prevent installation on thewrong side of the vehicle, the socket endof the adjusing screw is stamped with anR or L (Fig. 10). The adjusting pivot nutscan be distinguished by the number oflines machined around the body of thenut. Two lines indicate right hand nut;one line indicates a left hand nut.7. On a rear wheel, install the parking

brake assembly in the anchor pin andsecure with the retaining nut behindthe backing plate.

ADJUSTMENTS

BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT

The brake drums should be at normalroom temperature, when the brake shoesare adjusted. If the shoes are adjustedwhen the shoes are hot and expanded,the shoes may drag as the drums cooland contract.

A brake adjustment re-establishes thebrake lining-to-drum clearance and com-pensates for normal lining wear.

FRONT BRAKE

Manual AdjustmentThe single anchor brake is adjusted by

turning an adjusting screw located be-tween the lower ends of the shoes.1. Raise the vehicle until the wheels

clear the floor.2. Remove the cover from the adjusting

hole at the bottom of the brake carrierplate, and turn the adjusting screwinside the hole to expand the brakeshoes until they drag against thebrake drum and lock up the drum.Back off the adjusting screw until aslight drag is noted (Fig. 1).

3. When the shoes are against the drum,back off the adjusting screw 10 to 12notches so that the drum rotatesfreely without drag. If the drum doesnot rotate freely, remove the wheeland drum, and then blow out the dustand dirt from the linings. With sand-paper, remove all rust from the pointswhere the shoes contact the carrierplate and apply a light coating of hightemperature grease (C1AZ-19590-B).Be careful not to get the lubricant onthe linings.

4. Install the wheel and drum, and ad-just the shoes. Install the adjustinghole cover on the brake backing plate.

5. Check and adjust the other threebrake assemblies.

6. Apply the brakes. If the pedal travelsmore than halfway down between thereleased position and the floor, toomuch clearance exists between thebrake shoes and the drums. Repeatsteps 2 and 3 above.

7. When all brake shoes have been prop-erly adjusted, lower the vehicle. Roadtest the vehicle and check the opera-tion of the brakes. Perform the roadtest only when the brakes will applyand the vehicle can be safely stopped.

pand the brake shoe until it dragsagainst the brake drum.

3. Back off the adjusting screw so thatthe drum rotates freely without drag.Depress the brake pedal to center thebrake shoes, and back off the adjust-ing screw an additional notch to pro-vide operating clearance.

4. Repeat the above procedure on thefront (primary) brake shoe.

5. Replace the adjusting hole covers.

Self Adjusting Brakes — Rear —500-900 Series (Except P-500)

The brake shoes are automatically ad-justed when the vehicle is driven in re-verse and the brakes applied. A manualadjustment is required only after thebrake shoes have been relined or re-placed.

The two-cylinder brake assembly(Figs. 2 and 3) brake shoes are adjustedby turning adjusting wheels reachedthrough slots in the backing plate.

Two types of two-cylinder brake as-semblies are used on truck rear wheels.The assemblies differ primarily in the re-tracting spring hookup, and in the designof the adjusting screws and locks.However, the service procedures are thesame for both assemblies.

The brake adjustment is made withthe vehicle raised. Check the brake dragby rotating the drum in the direction offorward rotation as the adjustment ismade.1. Remove the adjusting slot covers

from the backing plate (Fig. 1).2. Turn the rear (secondary shoe) ad-

justing screw inside the hole to ex-pand the brake shoe until a slight dragis felt against the brake drum.

3. Repeat the above procedure on thefront (primary) brake shoe.

4. Replace the adjusting hole covers.

5. Complete the adjustment by applyingthe brakes several times while backingthe vehicle.

6. After the brake shoes have been prop-erly adjusted, check the operation ofthe brakes by making several stopswhile operating in a forward direc-tion.If a brake drum will not come off,

remove the adjusting slot covers andback off the adjuster screws to free thedrum from the shoes.
