I-Brake H1551-~ Pedal Height and Travel Measurements pedal measurement under a 50 pound load should be within the specified maximum pedal travel service specification B in Fig. 1. 5. If the pedal travel is more than the specified maximum shown in Fig. I, dimemion B, make several sharp reverse stops (equivalent to 50 pounds pedal pressure) with a forward stop before each. Move the, car in reverse and forward for a distance of approximately ten feet; then apply the brakes sharply and hold the brake pedal down until the car is completely stopped. This will actuate the brake self-adjusters. If these stops do not bring the brake pedal travel within specification, make several additional forward and reverse stops as outlined above. 6. If the second series of stops do not bring the brake pedal travel within specification, remove the brake drums and check the brake adjusters to make sure they are functioning. Check the brake linings for wear or damage. Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts and non-functioning adjusters. Adjust the brake lining outside diameter to The approximate inside diameter of the brake drlrm wi!h Rotunda Too! HRE 8650 (Figs. I I and 12, Part 2-2). 7. If all the brake adjusters. brake drums and linings are functional and the brake pedal travel is not within specifications, check the pedal linkage for missing bushings. or loose attachments. Bleed the brake and centralize the differential valve. POWER BRAKE F U N C T I O N A L TEST FIG. 2-Brake Pedal Effort Gauge Installed - Typical Brake Pedal Travel Measurement 1. Install a Brake Pedal Pressure Gauge on the brake pedal pad (Fig. 2). 2. Hook a steel measuring tape to the brake pedal as shown in Fig. I. Measure and record the distance from the brake pedal free height position to the reference point, which is at the six o'clock position on the steering wheel rim. 3. With the steel tape still hooked to the brake pedal depress the brake by pressing downward on the brake pedal effort gauge. Apply a 50 pound load to the center of the pedal by observing the pressure gauge, agd measure the distance ffom the brake pedal to the fixed reference point on the steering wheel rim, parallel to the ccnterline of the steer-. ing column. 4.

Depress the brake pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum in the system. 2. With the engine shut off. depress the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. I f the pedal gradually falls away under this pressure, the hydraulic system is leaking. Check all tubing, hoses. calipers (if so equipped), wheel cylinders and connections for leaks. I f the brake pedal movement f&ls spongy, bleed the hydfaulic system to remove air from the system. Refer to Hydraulic Systern Bleeding, Part 1, Section 2. Also, check for leaks or insufficient fluid. 3. With the engine shut off and all vacuum in the system exhausted, depress the pedal arid hold it in the applied position. Start the engine. If the vacuum system is operating, the pedal will tend to fall .away under foot pressure and less pressure will PART 2-1-General be required to hold the pedal in the applied position. I f no action is felt, the vacuum booster system is not functioning. LOCKED WHEEL BRAKE Should one of the wheel brakes be locked and the car must be moved, open the bleeder screw long enough to let out a few drops of brake fluid. This bleeding operation will release the brakes but will not correct the cause of trouble. PARKING BRAKE Visually check the operation of the parking brake linkage as the parking brake controls are moved to the Brake Service applied position. Then, check the operation of the brake linkage when the parking brake controls are moved to the released position. These checks should indicate whether the manual parking brake control linkage is operating properly or requires repair or adjustment due to inability of the parking brake to hold against moderate vehicle movement.

To check for brake chatter or surge, apply the brakes lightly at 50 mph. For each of the symptoms encountered, check and eliminate the causes which are listed in Figs. l l and 12. If the road test reveals one or more problem conditions listed in Figs. 1 1 and 12, correct all malfunctions of the vacuum system, brake booster and hydraulic system prior to removing brake drums, brake calipers (if so equipped), brake shoes and linings or backing plates. During a road test, apply the vehicles brakes at a road speed of 20 mph for all problem conditions listed in Figs.

If the cables are loose, adjust them as follows: I. Fully release the parking brake by turning the handle counterclockwise and pushing it inward. 2. Pull the parking brake handle outward to the third notch from its normal released position. 3. Raise the vehicle. Remove the wheel cover. Install Tool T66L4204-L on the rear wheel (Fig. 3). 4. Turn the locking adjustment nut forward against the cable guide on the equalizer (Fig. 4) until there is 100 ft-lbs break-away torque at the rear wheel when turning the rear wheels in the direction of forward rotation with a torque wrench (Fig. 3). The torque measurement must be made relative to the centerline of the wheel. 5. Release the parking brake and make sure the brake shoes return to the fully released position and no drag is felt when turning the rear wheels. 6. Remove Tool T66L-4204-L. Install the wheel attaching bolts and torque them to specification. Install the wheel cover. Lower the vehicle. COMET-FALCONFAIRLANE Check the parking brake cables when the brakes are fully released.

Failure to maintain this relationship will prevent the master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure and can cause the brakes to drag, or cause excessive brake pedal travel. When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air may enter the system and cause spongy pedal action. Bleed the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected, to be sure that all air is expelled. MAN U A L BLEEDING The primary and secondary (front and rear) hydraulic brake systems are individual systems and are bled separately. Bleed the longest line first on :he individual system being serviced. During the complete bleeding operation, D O N O T allow the reservoir to run dry. Keep the master cyl- inder reservoirs filled with Rotunda Fluid - Extra Heavy Duty - Part C6AZ- 19542-A (ESANumber M6C25-A).

Fill the master cylinder reservoirs to within 114 to 112 inch from the top. lnstall the master cylinder cover and gasket. Be sure the diaphragm-type gasket is properly positioned in the master cylinder cover. 14. Centralize the pressure differential valve as follows: CENTRALlZlNG T H E PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL VALVE After a failure of the primary (front brake) or secondary (rear brake) system has been repaired and bled, the dual-brake warning light will usually continue to be illuminated due to the pressure differential valve remaining in an offcenter position. To centralize the pressure differential valve and turn off the warning light after a repair operation, a pressure differential or unbalance condition must be created in the opposite brake system from the one that was repaired and bled last. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or O N position. Loosen the differential valve assembly brake tube nut at the outlet port on the opposite side of the brake system that was repaired and/or bled last. Depress the brake pedal slowly to build line pressure until the pressure differential valve is moved to a centralized position and the brake warning light goes out; then, immediately tighten the outlet port tube nut to the specified torque. Refer to Fig. 20 and 2 I . 2. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs and fill them to within 114 to 112 inch of the top with the specified brake fluid, if necessary. 3. Turn the ignition switch t o the O F F position. 4. Before driving the vehicle, check the operation of the brakes and be sure that a firm pedal is obtained. GROUP 2-Bra kes CLEANING AND INSPECTION D I S C ( F R O N T ) BRAKES 1. Remove the wheel and tire, caliper splash shield, and the shoe and lining assemblies as outlined in Part 2-2, Section 2. 2. Make three thickness measurements with a micrometer across the middle section of the shoe and lining. Take one reading at each side and one in the center. If the assembly has worn to 'a thickness of 0.231 inch (shoe and lining together) or 0.066 inch (lining material only) at any one of the three measuring locations or if the brake lining shows evidence of brake fluid contamination, replace all four shoe and lining assemblies on both front wheels. 3. Check the caliper to spindle attaching bolt and caliper bridge bolt torque. Tighten them to the specified torque, if required. 4. To check rotor runout, first eliminate the wheel bearing end play by tightening the adjusting nut. After tightening the nut check to see that the rotor can still be rotated. 5. Clamp a dial indicator to the caliper housing so that the stylus contacts the rotor at a point approximately I inch from the outer edge. Rotate the rotor and take an indicator reading. If the reading exceeds 0.002 inch total lateral runout on the indicator, replace or resurface the disc brake rotor. The following requirements must be met when resurfacing disc brake rotors: Rotunda Disc Brake Attachment FRE-2249-2 is the only approved tool to be used to refinish the disc brake rotors. The step-by-step resurfacing procedure provided with the tool must be adhered to. The finished braking surfaces of the rotor must be flat and parallel within 0.0007 inch; lateral runout must not e x u e d 0.002 inch total indicator reading, and the surface finish o f the braking surfaces are to be 85/15 micro inches. The minimum limiting dimensions (Fig. 10) from the inboard bearing cup to the outboard rotor face (dimension A ) and from the inboard bearing cup to the inboard rotor face (di- LATERIAL RUNOUT 0.002 MAXIMUM TOTAL INDICATOR READING mension B) must be observed when removing material from the rotor braking surfaces. When the runout check is finished, be sure to adjust the bearings as outlined in Group 3, in order to prevent bearing failure. 6. Check the rotor for scoring. Minor scores can be removed with a fine emery cloth. If the rotor is excessively scored, refinish it as outlined in step 5 or replace the rotor, if required. 7. Visually check the caliper. If excess leakage is evident, it should be replaced. Slight leakage around the pistons or seized pistons indicate removal and disassembly: . 8. If upon disassembly the caliper is found to be distorted or damaged, or if the cylinder bores are scored or excessively worn, replace the assembly . The two halves of the caliper assembly should never be separated. Damage or failure of one requires replacement of both as a unit. REAR BRAKES 1. Remove the wheel from the drum, then remove the drum as outlined in Part 2-2, Section 2. Wash all the parts except the brake shoes in a cleaning solvent and dry with compressed air. 2. Brush all dust from the backing plates and interior of the brake drums. 3. Inspect the brake shoes for excessive lining :wear or shoe damage. I f the lining is worn to within 1/32 inch of the rivet heads or if the shoes are damaged, they must be replaced. Replace any lining that has been contaminated with oil, grease or brake fluid. Replace lining, in axle sets. Prior to replacement of lining, the drum diameter should be checked to determine if oversize linings must be installed. 4. Check the condition of the brake shoes, retracting springs, and drum for signs of overheating. If the springs show any loss of load or change in free length indicating overheating, BEARING CUP DIMENSION "B" 1 . 1 1 7 MINIMUM DIMENSION "A" 0.402 MAXIMUM SURFACE FINISH/IS MICRO INCHES H1%3-A FIG. 10-Disc Brake Rotor Service Limits - Typical replacement of the retracting and hold down springs and the parking brake cable is necessary. Overheated springs lose their pull and could cause the new lining to wear prematurely if they are not replaced. 5. If the car has 30,000 or more miles of operation, or signs of extreme overheating are present when relining brakes, the wheel cylinders should be disassembled and inspected for wear and dirt in the cylinder. The cylinder cups and other parts contained in the overhaul kit should be replaced thus avoiding future problems. 6. Inspect all other brake parts and replace any that are worn or damaged. 7. Inspect the brake drums and, if necessary, refinish. Refer to Part 2-2, Section 4 for refinishing.

The dual-master cylinder equipped hydraulic brake system employes single-anchor, internal expanding and self-adjusting drum brake assemblies on the rear wheels of vehicles with disc brakes, and on the front and rear wheels of all others (Fig. 1). DUAL-MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE SYSTEM The dual-master cylinder brake system has been incorporated in all car models to provide increased vehicle safety. The system consists of a dualmaster cylinder, pressure differential valve assembly and a switch. The switch on the differential valve activates a dual-brake system warning light, located on the instrument panel. The dual-master cylinder brake system is similar to a conventional (single) brake master cylinder system. In the dual-system, two master cylinders are combined in a single cast iron casting (Fig. 2). One portion actuates the front brake system and the other actuates the rear brake system (Figs. 20 and 21). Hydraulic fluid leakage or failure of one of the systems does not impair the operation of the other portion of the dualbrake system. A dual-brake warning light signals a failure of either the front or rear brake system. The dual-master cylinder used on Fairlane, Falcon and Comet vehicles equipped with power brakes have the master cylinder outlet ports for the rear brake system located on the bottom of the master cylinder body. Master cylinder hydraulic system bleed screws are located in the outboard side of those master cylinders having secondary (rear brake) system outlet ports in the bottom of the master cylinder castings (Fig. 29). All Fairlane, Falcon and Comet vehicles equipped with standard drum brakes and all Mustang and Cougar vehicles equipped with power disc, power drum and standard drum brakes have both the primary (front) and secondary (rear) brake system outlet ports located on the outboard side of the dual-master cylinder body castings. These master cylinders d o not require master cylinder bleed screws (Figs. 27, 28 and 30). The external appearance of the dual master cylinders for the various vehicles also differ in configuration of the covers. All vehicles having standard drum brake systems and Mustang, Cougar vehicles equipped with power drum brakes have primary and secondary master cylinder cover domes of equal size. Dual master cylinders for all other vehicles equipped with power disc and power drum brake systems have large primary (front brake) and smaller secondary (rear brake) cover domes. A code letter is stamped on the side or outer end of each master cylinder body casting for easy service identification. The vehicle application, type of brakes and the identification code are shown in Fig. 3. A brake pressure differential valve assembly (Fig. 4) incorporating an hydraulically operated mechanical switch is utilized to operate a dualbrake warning light, located on the instrument panel. Hydraulic pressure for both front wheel brakes is provided from the primary system (front) brake outlet port and line, located opposite the primary system inlet port of the differential valve. Hydraulic pressure for both rear wheel brakes is provided from the single secondary (rear brake) outlet line, located opposite the secondary system inlet port of the differential valve. On disc brake equipped vehicles, a proportioning valve is located in the secondary (rear brake) system line that leads to the brake hose bracket on the rear axle housing. The brake hose bracket serves as a junction point for the individual brake lines that lead to the wheel cylinders of right and left rear brake components. When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and GROUP 2-Bra kes secondary (rear brake) master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective independent hydraulic system. The fluid displacement of the duallmaster cylinders is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of, each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems (Fig. 2). If a failure of the rear (secondary) brake system should occur, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary piston movement displaces hydraulic fluid in the primary section of the dual-master cylinder to actuate the front brake system. Should the front (primary) brake system fail, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted primary piston to bottom out against the secondary piston. Continued downward movement of the brake pedal moves the secondary piston to displace hydraulic fluid in the rear brake system, actuating the rear brakes. The increased pedal travel and the increased pedal effort required to compensate for the loss of the failed portion of the brake system provides a warning that a partial brake system failure has occured. When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, a dual-brake warning light pro- FIG. 2- Dual-Master Cylinder Power Drum Power Disc Falcon RPO Not Available Fairlane RPO RPO Mustang Zi RPO Comet RPO RPO 3 Cougar RPO RPO Car Model 3 3 .

Fairlane and Comet 427 V-8 Engine, FIG. I-Power Disc Brake and Power Drum Brake Options vides a visual indication the warning lamp is functional. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON or ACC position, a dual-brake warning light on the instrument panel also provides a visual indication if one portion of the dual-brake system has become inoperative. Should a failure of either the front or rear brake hydraulic system occur, the hydraulic fluid pressure differential resulting from the pressure loss of the failed brake system forces the valve toward the low pressure area to illuminate the brake warning light (Fig: 4). A mechanically operated electrical switch is located on the side of the pressure differential valve assembly between the front and rear brake system inlet ports. The inner-end of the spring loaded switch-plunger contacts the bottom of a tapered shoulder groove in the center of the valve (Fig. 4). O-ring seals are retained in seal ring lands near each end of the valve. Should a failure of the rear brake system occur, hydraulic fluid pressure in the rear brake system would drop. During brake pedal operation the fluid pressure build-up of the front brake system forces the valve to move toward the low pressure area, or toward 2-1 1 PART 2-2-Brake System the rear brake system outlet port (Fig. 4). Movement of the differential valve forces the switch plunger upward over the tapered shoulder of the valve to close the switch electrical contacts and light the dual brake warning lamp, signalling a brake system failure. In the event a front brake system failure should occur, greater pressure from the rear brake system during brake pedal operation forces the valve forward, moving the switch plunger upward onto the valve ramp to light the brake system warning lamp. However, failure of either the front or rear system does not impair operation of the other brake system. Disc brakes are available as optional equipment for the front wheels. The hydraulic brake system employs single -anchor, internal expanding and self-adjusting drum brake assemblies on the rear wheels of vehicles with disc brakes, and on the front and rear wheels of all others. A vacuum booster is available as optional equipment. The master cylinder converts physical force from the brake pedal (and booster if so equipped) into hydraulic pressure against the pistons in the calipers (disc brakes) or in the wheel I Type Of Brake Fairlane and Falcon Mustang Comet Cougar DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLIES I Car Model FIG. 3-Dual B Power Drum S Standard Drum T Power Disc M Power Drum X Standard Drum T Power Disc B Power Drum S Standard Drum T Power Disc M Power Drum X Standard Drum T Master Cylinder Identification lated disc type, actuated by a hydraulic system (Fig. 5). There is no lateral movement of either the disc (rotor) or the caliper.

Square-section rubber piston seals are positioned in grooves in the cylinder bores. The piston seals perform three important tasks: 1. They provide hydraulic sealing between the cylinders and pistons. 2. They return the pistons t o released position, when hydraulic pressure is released. 3. They maintain the shoes in correct adjustment at all times (comparable to the automatic adjusters in drum-type brakes). The cylinders are connected hydraulically by means of internal passages in the caliper housing and an external transfer tube between the two halves of the caliper assembly. One bleeder screw and fluid inlet fitting is provided on each caliper assembly. The shoe and lining assemblies are located between parallel machined abutments within the caliper, and are supported radially by tabs on the outer ends of the shoe assemblies (Fig. 25). The shoes slide axially in the caliper abutments by means of the tabs which ride on machined ledges (bridges) when hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston (Fig. 6). A shoe and lining assembly consists of friction material bonded to a metal platc called the shoe. It is replaced as a unit. Brake torque is absorbed by the mating of the shoe end against the caliper abutments (Fig. 25). Two spring clips are attached to the top of the caliper to retain the BRAKES RELEASED BRAKES A P P L I E D FIG. 7-Function til3m~ of Piston Seal shoe and lining assemblies. The caliper assembly is mounted to a bracket located between the spindle and rotor splash shield, to the front of the wheel vertical centerline. The cast iron disc is of the ventilated rotor type. incorporating forty fins and is attached to, and rotates with, the wheel hub. The outside ' diameter of the rotor is 11.290 inches and the inside diameter is 7.170, inches. This type of design increases cooling area and permits circulation of air through the rotor resulting in more rapid cooling of the brake. A splash shield bolted to the spindle is used primarily to prevent road contaminants from contacting the inboard rotor and lining surfaces (Fig. 17). The wheel provides protection for the outboard surfaces of the rotor. As the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder forces the pistons out of the caliper bores against their respective shoe and lining assemblies. The force of the pistons against the shoes moves the linings against both sides - of the revolving rotor to effect braking action. During brake application, the rubber seal on each piston stretches as the piston moves against the shoe (Fig. 7). When the hydraulic pressure against the piston is released, the seal relaxes or rolls back. This roll-back action pulls the piston away from the shoe just enough to relieve the force of the lining against the rotor and, thereby, provide the required running clearance. Also, inherent rotor runout contributes to the maintenance of running clearance. Automatic adjustment is achieved by the pistons sliding in the seals outward from the cylinder bores. The piston gradually changes its position relative to the seal as the lining wears and, thus, maintains the correct adjustment location at all times. When the brakes- are in the unapplied position, there is no hydraulic pressure t o the calipers because the fluid source at the master cylinder by-passes the residual check valve. 2-1 3 PART 2-2-Brake System CLIP MUST NOT TOUCH OR COVER RUBBER RING AROUND OUTSIDE OF VALVE ASS,EMBLY TUBE-2265 DlSC BRAKE CONTROL TORQUE TO 6.15 LB.

By regulating the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel cylinders, the valve limits rear braking action when high pressures are required at the front brakes. In this manner. Dremature rear wheel skid is prevdnied. The proportioning valve is serviced as an assemblv and is never adjusted o r overhauled. HYDRAULIC SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKE SYSTEM The self-adjusting brake mechanism consists of a cable, cable guide, adjusting lever, and adjuster spring (Figs. 9 and 10). The cable is hooked over the anchor pin at the top and is connected to the lever at the bottom. The cable is connected to the secondary brake shoe by means of the Inch Drum cable guide. The adjuster spring is hooked to the primary brake shoe and to the lever. The automatic adjuster operates only when the brakes are applied while the car is moving rearward and only when the secondary shoe is free to move toward the drum beyond a predetermined point. With the vehicle moving rearward and the brakes applied, the wraparound action of the shoes following the drum forces the upper end of the primary shoe against the anchor pin. The action of the wheel cylinder moves the upper end of the secondary shoe away from the anchor pin. The movement of the secondary shoe causes the cable to pull the adjusting lever upward and against the end of a tooth on the adjusting screw star-wheel. The upward travel of the lever increases as lining wear increases. When the lever can move upward far enough, it passes over the end of the tooth and engages the tooth. When the brakes are released, the adjusting spring pulls the lever downward causing the star-wheel to turn and expand the shoes. The star-wheel is turned one tooth at a time as the linings progressively wear. With the vehicle moving forward and the brakes applied, the secondary shoe is against the anchor pin and the primary shoe is moved toward the drum. Therefore, the adjuster does not operate. The rear brake assembly is basically the same as the front brake. The conventional parking brake lever, link, and spring are used in the rear brake. The anchor pins on all brakes are fixed and are non-adjustable. BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM The diaphragm-type brake booster is a self-contained vacuum-hvdraulic braking unit mounted on thd engine side of the dash panel. The brake booster is of the vacuum suspended type which utilizes engine intake GROUP 2-Bra kes 2-1 4 FIG. 10-Self Adiusting Brake Assemblies- manifold vacuum and atmospheric pressure for its power. Adjllstment of the push rod is the only service permitted on a brake booster. The booster unit is to be exchanged when i t is inspected, checked and found to be defective. PARKING BRAKES-MUSTANG A N D COUGAR An independent hand-operated parking brake control actuates the rear wheel brake shoes through a cable linkage. The operating cable is routed from the parking brake control assembly t o the equalizer pivot lever which is attached to the equalizer assembly to the floor pan. The rear brake cables connect the equalizer assembly to the parking brake lever at each rear secondary shoe as shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 3 1. When the handle is pulled the primary and secondary brake shoes are 10 Inch Drum forced against the rear brake drums. The handle is held in the applied position by the engagement of a spring loaded pawl with a ratche!. Turning the handle counterclockwise disengages the pawl from the ratchet to release the brakes. PARKING BRAKESCOMET, FAIRLANE A N D FALCON An independent foot-operated parking brake control actuates the rear wheel brake shoes through a cable linkage. The operating cable is routed from the parking brake control assembly to the equalizer. The rear brake cables connect the equalizer assembly to the parking brake lever at each rear secondary shoe (Fig. 9). . When the pedal is depressed the primary and secondary brake shoes are forced against the rear brake drums. The pedal is held in the applied position by the engagement of a spring-loaded pawl with a ratchet in the control assembly (Fig. 32). The. parking brake control assembly is mounted to the cowl inner side panel. The cedal ~ i v o t son a stationary pedal 'mouni. A spring-loaded pawl and a release lever are assembled to the pedal. A ratchet is assembled to the upper end of the pedal. The pawl contacts the ratchet at such an angle that the ratchet teeth will slide over the pawl as the pedal is depressed; however, when the applying motion stops and the pedal starts to release, the pawl engages the ratchet and thus locks the brakes in the applied position. When the manual release lever is pulled back (Fig. 32), the cam action of the lever on the pawl cam pin will disengage the pawl from the ratchet to release the brakes. IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS A N D REPAIRS Alter any brake service work, obtain a firm brake pedal before moving the vehicle. Riding the brake pedal (common on left foot applications) should be avoided when driving the vehicle. BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENTS -DRUM BRAKE The hydraulic service brakes are self-adjusting and require a manual adjustment only after the brake shoes have been relined, replaced, or when the length of the adjusting screw has been changed while performing some other service operation. The manual adjustment is performed with the drums removed, us- PART 2-2-Bra ke System Tool - HRE8650 FIG. 1 ]-Measuring Drum ing the tool and the procedure detailed below. When adjusting the rear brake shoes, check the parking brake cables for proper adjustment. Refer to Parking Brake Linkage Adjustment, Part 2-1, Section 2. Make sure that the equalizer operates freely. To adjust the brake shoes: 1. Using Rotunda Tool H R E 8650, (Fig. I I) determine the inside diameter of the drum braking surface. 2. Reverse the tool as shown in Fig. 12 and adjust the brake shoe diameter to fit the gauge. Hold the automatic adjusting lever out of engagement while rotating the adjusting screw, to prevent burring the screw slots. Make sure the adjusting screw rotates freely. If necessary, lubricate the adjusting screw threads with a thin, uniform coating of CIAZ- 19590-B Grease. 3.Rotate Tool HRE 8650 around the brake shoes to be sure of the setting. 4. Apply a small quantity of high temperature grease to the points where the shoes contact the carrier plate and anchor pin, being careful not t o get the lubricant on the linings. 5. Install the drums. Install the Tinnerman nuts and tighten securely. Install the wheel on the drum and tighten the mounting nuts to specification. 6. Complete the adjustment by apply ing the brakes several times with a minimum of 50 Ibs pressure on the pedal while backing the car. After each stop, the vehicle must be moved forward. 7. After the brake shoes have been properly adjusted, check the operation of the brakes by making several stops while operating in a forward direction. FRONT BRAKE DRUM REMOVAL 1.

Install new bearings and grease retainer. Soak the new service-type grease retainer in light engine oil for at least 30 minutes before installation if retainer is of a leather composition. Pack the wheel bearings, install the inner bearing cone and roller assembly in the inner cup, and install the new grease retainer. See Part 3-5, Section 4 for procedure. If the original drum is being installed, make sure that the grease in the hub is clean and adequate. 2. Adjust the brakes and install the drum assembly as outlined under Brake Shoe Adjustments in this section. FIG. 13- Backing Off Brake Adiustment 3. Install the outer wheel bearing, washer and adjusting nut. 4. Adjust the wheel bearing as outlined in Part 3-5, Section 2, then install the grease cap. Install the wheel and hub cap or cover. REAR BRAKE DRUM REMOVAL 1. Raise the vehicle so that the wheel is clear of the floor. 2. Remove the hub cap and wheel. Remove the three Tinnerman nuts and remove the brake drum. If the drum will not come off, remove the rubber cover from the backing plate. Insert a narrow screwdriver through the hole in the backing plate, and disengage the adjusting lever from the adjusting screws. While holding the adjusting lever away from the adjusting screw, back off the adjusting screw with the brake adjusting tool (Fig. 13). Be very careful not to burr, chip or damage the notches in the adjusting screw; otherwise, the self-adjusting mechanism will not function properly. INSTALLATION 1. Remove the protective coating from a new drum with carburetor degreaser; then, sand lightly and wipe with a cloth soaked in denatured alcohol. 2. Adjust the brakes as outlined under Brake Shoe Adjustments in this section. 3. Place the drum over the brake assembly and into position. Install the three Tinnerman nuts and tighten them securely. Install the wheel on the axle shaft flange studs against the drum, and tighten the attaching nuts to specifications. GROUP 2-Bra kes BRAKE SHOES A N D ADJUSTING SCREW REMOVAL 1. With the wheel and drum removed, install a clamp over the ends of the wheel cylinder as shown in Fig. 14. 2. Remove the brake retracting springs +sing Tool 2035-N or 2086L (Fig. 14). 3. Disconnect the brake shoe holddown springs and remove the brake shoe assemblies along with the complete automatic adjustment mechanism. 4. Disassemble the brake shoes. 5. On rear brakes, remove the parking brake link and spring from the brake assemblies. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the parking brake lever. 6. After removing the rear brake shoes disassemble the parking brake lever from the secondary shoe by removing the retaining clip and spring washer (Figs. 9 and 10). INSTALLATION 1. Before installing the rear brake shoes, assemble the parking brake lever to the secondary shoe and secure it with the spring washer and retaining clip. 2. Apply a light coating of hightemperature grease at the points where the brake shoes contact the backing plate. 3. Position the brake shoes on the backing plate and secure them with the hold down springs. On the rear brake, install the parking brake link and spring. Connect the parking brake cable to the parking brake lever (Figs. 9 and 10). Install the cable guide on the secondary shoe web with the flanged hole properly fitted into the hole in the secondary shoe web. Install the secondary spring (secondary shoe to anchor spring) (Figs. 9 and 10). 5. Place the cable eye over the anchor pin with the crimped side toward the backing plate. lnstall the primary shoe to anchor spring with the tool shown in Fig. 15. 6. Thread the cable around the cable guide groove. I t is imperative that the cable be positioned in this groove and not between the guide and the shoe web. Be certain that the cable eye is not cocked or binding on the anchor pin when installed. All parts should be flat on the anchor pin. Remove the brake cylinder clamp. 7. Apply a small amount of high- temperature grease (Part Number CIAZ-19580-B) t o the threads and the socket end of the adjusting screw. Turn the adjusting screw into the adjusting pivot nut t o the limit of the threads and then back off 112 turn. Interchanging the brake shoe adjusting screw assemblies from one side of the vehicle to the other would cause the brake shoes to retract rather than expand each time the automatic adjusting mechanism operated. T o prevent accidental instal- lation of the adjusting screw on the wrong side of the vehicle the socket end of the adjusting screw is stamped with an R or L (Fig. 16). The adjusting pivot nuts can be distinguished by the number of grooves machined around the body of the nut. Two grooves indicate a righthand nut; one groove indicates a lefthand nut. 8. Place the adjusting socket on the screw and install this assembly between the shoe ends with the adjpsting screw toothed wheel nearest the secondary shoe. 9. Hook the cable hook into the hole in the adjusting lever. The adjusting levers are stamped with an R or L to indicate their installation on a right or left brake assembly (Fig. 16): 10. Position the hooked end of the adjuster spring completely into the large hole in the primary shoe web. The last coil of the spring should be at the edge of the hole. Connect the loop end of the spring to the adjuster lever hole (Figs. 9 and 10). 11. Pull the adjuster lever, cable and automatic adjuster spring down and toward the rear to engage the pivot hook in the large hole in the secondary shoe web. 12. After installation, check the action of the adjuster by pulling the section of the cable between the cable guide and the anchor pin toward the secondary shoe web far enough to lift the lever past a tooth on the adjusting screw wheel. The lever should snap into position behind the next tooth, and release of the cable should cause the adjuster spring to return the lever to its original position. This return action of the lever will turn the adjusting screw one tooth. If pulling the cable does not produce the action described, or if the lever action is sluggish instead of positive and sharp, check the position of the lever on the adjusting screw toothed wheel. With the brake in a vertical position (anchor at the FIG. 14-Retracting -Typical Spring Removal NG. 15- Retracting Spring Installation -Typical top), the lever should contact the adjusting wheel 3/16 inch (plus or minus 1/32 inch) above the centerline of the screw. If the contact point is below the centerline, the lever will not lock on the teeth in the adjusting screw wheel, and the screw will not be turned as the lever is actuated by the cable. T o determine the cause of this condition: a. Check the cable end fittings, The cable should completely fill or extend slightly beyond the crimped section of the fittings. If it does not meet this specification, possible damage is indicated and the cable assembly should be replaced. b. Check the cable length. The cable should measure 8 13/32 inches on 9 inch brakes or 9 314 inches on 10 inch brakes from the end of the cable anchor to the end of the cable hook. c. Check the cable guide for damage. The cable groove should be parallel to the shoe web, and the body of the guide should lie flat against the web. Replace the guide if it shows damage. d. Check the pivot hook on the lever. The hook surfaces should be square with the body of the lever for proper pivoting. Replace the lever if the hook shows damage.

See that the adjusting screw socket is properly seated in the notch in the shoe web. DISC BRAKE SHOE AND LINING REPLACEMENT DISC BRAKE SERVICE PRECAUTIONS 1. After any brake service work, pump the brake pedal to obtain a firm pedal before moving the car. Riding the brake pedal (common on left foot applications) should be avoided when driving the car. 2. Grease or any other foreign material must be kept off the caliper assembly, surfaces of the rotor and external surfaces of the hub during service operations. Handling of the rotor and caliper assemblies should be done in a way to avoid deiormation of the brake rotor and nicking or scratching of brake linings. 3. If the square sectioned rubber piston seals are worn or damaged, they should be replaced immediately. 4. During removal and installation of a wheei assembly, exercise care not to interfere with and damage the caliper splash shield, the bleeder screw fitting or the transfer tube. 5. Front wheel bearing end play is critical and must be within specifications. 6. Be sure the vehicle is centered on the hoist before servicing any front end components, to avoid bending or damaging the rotor splash shield on full right or left wheel turns. 7. The bridge bolts joining the twocaliper housings should not be removed or loosened. 8. The proportioning valve should not be disassembled or adjustments attempted on it. 9. The wheel and tire must be removed separately from the brake rotor, unlike drum brakes where the wheel, tire and drum are removed as a unit. REMOVAL Refer t o Fig. 17. 1. Remove the wheel and tire from the hub and rotor assembly. Be careful to avoid damage or interference with the bleeder screw fitting ortransfer tube. 2-1 7 2. Remove the two bolts that attach the caliper brake shoe retaining clips, and remove the clips (Fig. 17). 3. To facilitate removal and installation of the shoe and lining assemblies, the pistons must be pushed into their bores. Apply a steady inward pressure against each shoe and lining assembly toward its respective caliper housing on each side of the rotor (Fig. 6). Maintain the pressure for at least a minute. If the pistons will not go in easily, force them in with water pump pliers. 4. Grasp the metal flange on the outer end of the shoe with two pairs of pliers and pull the shoe out of the caliper (Fig. 18). INSTALLATION Refer to Fig. 17. When new shoe and lining assemblies are being installed to replace worn linings, it will be necessary to push the pistons all the way into the caliper bore. This will displace fluid from the caliper into the master cylinder reservoir. Check the primary (front) brake system reservoir level and remove fluid to approximately half-full before replacing brake shoes. This will prevent overflow. Do not re-use the removed fluid. 1. Position a new shoe and lining assembly on each side of the rotor so that the lining faces the rotor. CALIPER PARTS-2BI2O-R.H. -2BI2I-L.H.

HYDRAULIC LINES Steel tubing is used throughout the brake system with exception of the flexible hoses at the front wheels and at the rear axle housing brake tube connector (Figs. 20 and 2 1). Always bleed the applicable primary (front) or secondary (rear) brake system after a primary or secondary brake system hose or line replacement. Centralize the differential valve after bleeding the brake system because vibration will cause tube failure. When bending brake tubing to fit underbody or rear axle contours, be careful not to ki.nk or crack the tube. All brake tubing should be properly double-flared at both ends to p r e vide good leak-proof connections. Clean the brake tubing by flushing with clean brake fluid before installation. When connecting a tube to a hose. tube connector, disc caliper, or brake cylinder, tighten the tube fitting nut to specified torque (Figs. 20 and 21) with Milbar tool 11 12-144 or equivalent. BRAKE HOSE REPLACEMENT If the vehicle is equipped with disc brakes on the front wheels, it will be necessary to remove the front wheel cover, wheel and tire to replace the brake hose. When installing a new front brake hose, make certain it is replaced with the proper hose assembly. Install .a new gasket over the hose fitting and torque the hose assembly to the wheel cylinder or caliper connection as noted in Figs. 20 and 21. Install the hose into the bracket on the side rail. Make sure the stripe on the hose shows no evidence of twist. Install the retaining clip. Connect the tube assembly to the hose, and torque the connector to specification (Figs. 20 and 2 1). A rear brake hose should be installed so that it does not touch the muffler outlet pipe or shock absorber. Since the rear brake hose is integral with the rear brake tube connector, the'entire hose and connector is replaced as an assembly. Mount the connector to the rear axle housing with the attaching bolt (axle vent) and lock washer. Connect the two rear wheel brake tubes to the connector. Install the hose in the D slot in the rear hose bracket. Install clip.

All other models + are equipped with 10-inch drums. Minor scores on a brake drum can be removed with a fine emery cloth. A drum that is excessively scored or shows a total indicator runout of over 0.007 inch should be turned down. Remove only enough stock to eliminate the scores and true up the 'drum. The refinished diameter must not exceed 0.060 inch oversize. If the drum diameter is less than 0.030 inch oversize 9.030 inches &cylinder Falcon or Mustang, or 10.030 inches on other models after refinishing, standard lining may be installed. If the drum diameter is more than 9.030 inches or 10.030 inches, oversize linings must be innalfed. After a drum is turned down, wipe the refinished surface with a cloth soaked in clean denatured alcohol. If one drum is turned down, the 'opposite drum on the same axle should also be cut down to the same size. ROTOR REFINISHING Rotunda Disc Brake Attachment, F R E 2249-2, is the only approved tool to be used to refinish disc brake rotors. The step-by-step resurfacing procedure provided with the tool must be adhered to. The finished braking surfaces of the rotor must be flat and parallel within 0.0007 inch; lateral runout PART 2-2-Brake System must not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading, and the surface finish of the braking surfaces are to be 85/15 micro inches.

Install the protector and brake master cylinder primary cup on the secondary piston: then install the primary cup retainer and secondary piston return spring on the secondary piston. Care must be taken to assure the protector is installed. 3. Carefully insert the complete secondary piston and return spring assembly in the master cylinder bore. 4. Install the primary piston and return spring assembly in the master cylinder bore. 5. Install the push rod retainer on the push rod, if so equipped. Install the push rod assembly in the cylinder bore. Make sure the retainer is properly seated and holding the push rod securely. 6. Depress the primary piston and install the snap ring in the cylinder bore groove. 7. Position the inner end of the push rod boot (if so equipped) in the master cylinder body retaining groove. 8. Install the secondary piston stop bolt and gasket in the bottom of the master cylinder. 9. Install the bleed screw (if so equipped). Install the gasket (diaphragm) in the master cylinder filler cover. Position the gasket as shown in Figs. 28 and 29. Make sure the g a s ket is securely seated. 10. Install the cover and gasket on the master cylinder and secure the cover into position with the retainer. DISC BRAKE CALIPER . DISASSEMBLY Do not remove the bridge bolts that hold the two halves of the caliper together. The two caliper housings are shown separated in Fig. 31 for illus tration purposes only. 1. Remove the caliper assembly from the vehicle as outlined in Section 2. 2. Remove the two attaching bolts and the caliper clips (Fig. 31). 3. Remove the two shoe and lining assemblies. 4. Remove the flexible brake hose from the caliper. 5. Remove the external transfer tube. 6. Clamp the caliper in a vise and secure it by the mounting flanges on the inboard housing (Fig. .32). 7. Remove the four pistons from the cylinder bores with the special tool shown in Fig. 32. The caliper pistons must be removed prior to removal of the dust boot. As the piston is withdrawn from the caliper, spread the dust boot back over the piston. To prevent cocking with consequent damage to the piston or bore, rotate the piston with the tool while pulling it outward at the same time. Be careful to avoid scratching or damaging the outside diameter surface or dust boot. Such damage causes poor sealing. If a piston is so completely seized in the cylinder bore that it can not be removed with the special tool, force the cylinder out of the bore by positioning two screwdrivers in the piston dust boot retaining groove and prying outward. To prevent cocking, tap the end of the piston lightly around the circumference with a hammer, while the prying force is being applied. Be careful to avoid damaging the dust boot retainer in the caliper housing (Fig. 32). If this method of removal is used, the pistons must be replaced. 8. Remove the dust boots from the caliper assembly. 9. Remove the rubber piston seals from the grooves in the cylinder bores by carefully inserting the point of a small knife or other pointed instrument under the seal and raising the seal up far enough to be pulled out with the fingers. CLEANING AND INSPECTION Clean all metal parts with brake fluid or a suitable solvent (Fig. 32). Use clean, dry, compressed air to clean out and dry the grooves and passageways. Be sure that the caliper bore and component parts are completely free of any foreign material. Check the cylinder bores and pistons for damage or excessive wear. Replace the piston if it is pitted, scored, or the chrome plating is worn off. ASSEMBLY 1. Clamp the caliper in a vise and secure it by the mounting flange on the inboard housing.

The new caliper seals must be flat-round and not twisted when setting freely on a clean surface. Discard any new seals that have been deformed in shipping or storage. Installation of deformed seals may result in seal leakage. 3. Apply a film of clean brake fluid to new caliper piston seals and install them in the grooves of the cylinder bore. The seal should be positioned at one area in the groove and gently worked around. D o not re-me the original seals. 4. Install the new dust boots by seating the boot flange in the outer caliper bore groove. Position in one area and gently work around until fully seated. D o not re-use the old dust boots. 5. Coat the outside diameter of the pistons with brake fluid and install them in the cylinder bores so that the open end of the piston and the boot retaining groove face out of the bore. Spread the dust boot over the piston as the piston is being installed. To avoid cocking, locate the piston squarely in the bore and apply a slow steady pressure. If a piston will not easily go all the way into the bore, remove it and thoroughly inspect the cylinder bore, the piston seal and the installation of the seal. If the piston still will not go in with the bore in good condition and the piston seal properly installed, use the tool shown in Fig. 32. Rotate the piston with the tool while pushing it inward at the same time. Seat the dust boots carefully in the piston groove. Be sure that each boot is fully seated in their groove. 6. Install the external transfer tube. 7. Install a new gasket and the flexible brake hose to the caliper. Torque the hose connector to specification (Figs. 20 and 2 1). 8. Install the caliper assembly on the spindle, and install the shoe and lining assemblies and the splash shield as outlined in Section 2. Check the caliper for fluid leaks under maximum pedal pressures. DO not move the car until a firm brake pedal is obtained. PART 2-3.-Specifications CHECKS A N D ADJUSTMENT4NCHES -..- - .

Check the hose connection at the pump for leaks, and tighten the hose clamp if necessary. P u m p Leaks If leakage occurs at the pump reservoir seal, or pump outlet fitting seal, check the torque of the outlet valve nut. If torque is within specifications, replace the reservoir seal, and/or outlet valve seal, whichever is required if leaks are evident other than the lines. C o n t r o l V a l v e Leaks If the control valve is leaking (somewhere other than the tube seats), replace all the seals, using a control valve seal kit. Use all the parts in the kit, and be sure they are correctly installed. When assembling the new seals in the valve, an application of silicone grease to the internal parts will help to provide a better seal against future leakage. Apply grease to the centering spring area, e.specially on the cap and spacer mating surfaces. Coat the threads of the cap retaining bolts with grease. The rubber boot seals, the actuator assembly, and the metal cup seals in the control valve should also be coated with silicone grease. Some oil remaining from the manufacturing processes may be found i n the sleeve near the ball stud. Do not confuse this oil with leaking fluid from the hydraulicsystem. P o w e r Cylinder Leaks The power cylinder may leak at the piston rod seals. A power cyli,nder seal kit should be used to correct leakage. D o not replace the power cylinder assembly unless the piston r o d is scored o r has a dull gray finish instead of a high luster chrome finish. Pump-Fluid Pressure Test A fluid pressure test will show whether the pump or some other unit in the power steering system is causing trouble i n the system. Steps outlined below should be followed to de' termine the cause of the trouble. 1. Measure the pump belt tension. When adjusting the belt tension on the power steering pump, do not pry against the pump t o obtain the prop" er belt load. FIG. I-Pressure Testing Tool Installed O n pumps used with a 6-cylinder engine, a half-inch cast boss has been incorporated on the front face of the pump cover plate onto which a 9/16 inch open end wrench can be fitted t o pry the pump and obtain the proper belt tension. O n pumps used with an 8-cylinder engine, apply leverage between the boss on the pump mounting bracket and the front face of the pump cover plate. 2. Disconnect the pressure line hose from the pump outlet, and install a 0-2000 psi prcssure gauge and shut off valve betwecn the end of the hose and the pump outlet (Fig. I). Be sure that the pressure gauge is between the pump and the shut off valve, a l l connections are tight, and the shut off valve is fully open. 3. Connect a tachometer. 4. Start the engine and operate it at idle speed for at least two minutes to warm up the fluid. 5. Cycle the steering wheel from stop-to-stop several times to expel any air from the system; stop the engine. Remove the reservoir filler cap and check the fluid level i n the reservoir. I f necessary, add fluid CIAZ-19582-A to the proper level. 6. With the engine running at approxi~nately500 rpm and no steering effort applied, and the fluid at normal operating temperature (160' 180'. F), the pressure gauge should show a pressure o f . less than 50 psi. If the pressure isshigher, inspect the hoses for kinks and obstructions. 7. Increase the engine speed to 1000 rpm; then, slowly close the gauge shut-off valve. With the valve fully closed, the pump pressure should be 750 to 900 psi. D o not close the valve for more than a few seconds ( maximum 5 seconds), as this would abnormally increase the lubricant (fluid) temperature and cause undue pump and/or control valve wear. Engine r p m should not exceed fast idle during this test. 8. Remove the tachometer and the pressure testing gauge. I f pressure is more or less than specification, replace the pump assembly. I f pressure is as specified and steering efforts are heavy. the gear and/or control valve could be at fault. FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECKS D o not attempt t o check and adjust front wheel alignment without first making a preliminary inspection of the front-end parts. Check all the factors of front wheel alignment except the turning angle before making any adjustments. The turning angle should be checked only after caster, camber, and toe-in have been adjusted to specification. The front wheel alignment specifications, given in Part 3-6 are correct only when the vehicle is at curb height. Before checking or adjust- PART 3-1-Suspension, Steering, Wheels And Tires General Service , - Tool - T65P3000:e / 1 - 3-3 or-! - 1 - MUSTANG FAIRLANE FALCON - COUGAR C M E T - F O R D .

I 1 1 I i FRONT SPACER I. Mustang H.P., insert pin in second hole 1 13/16 inches from base (Fig. 2). 2. Falcon, Fairlane, Mustang, Cougar use pin in third hole, 2 112 inches from base. I. Falcon, Fairlane, Comet use hole 1 118 inches up from base. 2. Mustang and Cougar, do not use pin (Fig. 4). EQUIPMENT [NSTALLATION Equipment used for front wheel alignment inspection must be accurate. Alignment height spacers (Figs. 3 and 4) are used to check caster, camber. The spacers should be omitted when checking toe-in. I. Drive the vehicle in a straight line far enough to establish the straight-ahead position of the front wheels, and mark the steering wheel hub and the steering column collar (Fig. 5). D o not adjust the steering wheel spoke position at this time. If the front wheels are turned at any time during the inspection, align the marks to bring the wheels back to the straight-ahead position. 2. With the vehicle in position for the front end alignment inspection and adjustment, install the alignment soacers as follows to establish the &b height. Insert the pin in the spacer hole marked for the model being checked (Mustang or Cougar rear does not use the pin). Raise the front of the vehicle and position the alignment spacers between the suspension upper arm and the spring tower as shown in Fig. 3. The lower end of the spacer should be placed over the head of the ball joint front outside attaching rivet. Position the alignment spacers for the rear of the vehicle between the rear axk and the side rail as shown in (Fig. 4). 3. Install the wheel alignment equipment on the vehicle. Whichever type of equipment is used, follow the installation and inspection instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer. CASTER Check the caster angle at each front wheel. Caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the top of the wheel spindle (Fig. 7). If the spindle tilts to the rear, caster is positive. If the spindle tilts to the front, caster is negative. The correct caster angle, or tilt, is specified in Part 3-6. The maximum difference between ,both front wheel caster angles should not exceed 112 However, a difference of not more than 1 /4 0 is preferred. FIG. 4-Typical Rear Alignment Spacer Installation CAMBER Check the camber angle at each front wheel. Camber is the amount the front wheels are tilted at the top (Fig. 6). I f a wheel tilts outward, camber is positive. I f a wheel tilts inward, camber is negative. The correct camber angle. or outward (positive) tilt, is specified in Part 3-6. The maximum difference between both front wheel camber angles should not exceed 1 /2 However, a differencc of not more than 114" is preferred. Alignment height spacers are not used to check and adjust toe-in. Toein should only be checked and adjusted after the caster and camber has been adjusted to specification. Check the toe-in with the front 3-4 GROUP 3-Suspension, Steering, Wheels & Tires wheels in ,the straight-ahead position. Run the engine so that the power steer-ing control valve will be in the center (neutral) position (if so equipped). Measure the distance be- tween the extreme front and also between the extreme rear of both front wheels. The difference between these two distances is the toe-in. Correct toe-in, or inward pointing of both front wheels at the front, is specified in Part 3-6. F R O N T WHEEL T U R N I N G ANGLE When the inside wheel is turned 20 , the turning angle of the outside wheel should be as specified in Part 3-6. The turning angle cannot be adjustid directly, because it is a result FIG. 5-Straight Marks- Ahead Position FIG. 6-Caster and Camber Angles Typical of the combination of caster, camber, and toe-in adjustments and should, therefore, be measured only after these adjustments have been made. If the turning angle does not measure to specifications, check the bpindle or other suspension parts for a bent condition. C O M M O N ADJUSTM r(TS AND REPAIRS After front wheel alignment factors have been checked, make the necessary adjustments. D o not attempt to adjust 'the front wheel alignment by bending the suspension or steerihg parts. CASTER A N D CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS Be sure all the equipment listed in Equipment Installation is installed before adjusting the caster and camber. Caster is controlled by the front suspension strut (Fig. 7). T o obtain positive caster, loosen the strut rear nut and tighten the strut front nut against the bushing. To obtain negative caster, loosen the strut front nut and tighten the strut rear nut against the bushing. Camber is controlled by the eccentric cam located at the lower arm attachment to the side rail (Fig. 7). To adjust the camber, loosen the camber adjustrneni bolt nut at the rear of the body bracket (Fig. 7). Spread the body bracket at t h e cambe; adjustment bolt area just enough to permit lateral travel of the arm-when the adjustment bolt is turned. Rotate the bolt and eccentric clockwise from the high position to increase camber or counterclockwise to decrease camber .

On vehicles equipped with power brakes, the steering gear may be filled through the lower or upper rover bolt hole depending on vehicle usage. Steering wheel must be centered when filling gear with lubricant. 6. Install the lower cover-to-housing attaching bolt and the filler plug. CLEANING AND INSPECTION STEERING GEAR CLEANING AND INSPECTION Wash all parts except seals in a cleaning solvent and dry with a lintfree cloth. Seals must not be washed or soaked in cleaning solvent. The bearing should not be spun dry with compressed air. Inspect the shaft and worm for scoring, cracks or checks, and for straightness of the shaft. Check the splines and the threads on the sector shaft for wear and burrs. Inspect the gear teeth for scoring, pitting and other wear. Inspect the ball bearings for free movement, and the cups for wear or irregular surfaces. Check the housing for cracks and the sector shaft needle bearing for free movement or other wear. POWER STEERING PUMP If the pump has a visible leak, replace the reservoir seal, and/or outlet valve seal, whichever is required. FLUSHING THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM Should a power steering pump become inoperative, the shaft and pulley should be checked for freedom of rotation. If the pump shaft does not turn freely (binding), it is an indication that there is wear on the oumo internal components and the nedd f i r flushing the steering system, when installing a new pump. 1. Remove the power steering pump and pulley as outlined in Part 34. 2. Install a new pump and connect only the pressure hose to the pump (Part 3-4). 3. Place the fluid return line in a suitable container and plug the resevoir return pipe. 4. Fill the reservoir with lubricant CIAZ- 19582-A. 5. Disconnect the coil wire to prevent the engine from starting and raise the front wheels off the ground. 6. While approximately two quarts of fluid are being poured into the reservoir, turn the engine over using the ignition key, at the same time cycle the steering wheel from stop to stop. 7. As soon as all of the fluid has been poured in, turn off the ignition key, and attach the coil wire. 8. Remove the plug from the reservoir return pipe, and attach the return hose to the reservoir. 9. Check the reservoir fluid level; if low add fluid to the proper level. Do not overfill. 10. Lower the vehicle. 11. Start the engine and cycle the steering wheel from stop to stop to expel any trapped air from the system. FRONT END GENERAL INSPECTION Do not check and adjust front wheel alignment without first making the following inspection for front-end maladjustment, damage, or wear. 1. Check for specified air pressures in all four tires. 2. Raise the front of the vehicle off the floor. Shake each front wheel grasping the upper and lower surfaces of the tire to check the front suspension ball joints and mountings for looseness, wear, and damage. Check the brake backing plate mountings. Torque all loose nuts and bolts to specifications. Replace all worn parts asoutlined in Part 3-2. 3. Check the steering gear mountings and all steering linkage connections for looseness. Torque all mountings to specifications. If any of the linkage is worn or bent, replace the parts as outlined in Part 3-3. 4. Check the front wheel bearings. If any in-and-out free play is noticed, adjust the bearing to specification (Part 3-5). Replace worn or damaged bearings as outlined in Part 3-5. 5. Spin each front wheel with a wheel spinner, and check and balance each wheel as required. 6. Check the action of the shock absorbers. If the shock absorbers are not in good condition, the vehicle may not settle in a normal, level position, and front wheel alignment may be affeded. WHEEL INSPECTION Wheel lug nuts should be tightened to specification at the predelivery inspection. Loose wheel lug nuts may cause shimmy and vibration. Elongated stud holes in the wheels may also result from loose lug nuts. Keep the wheels and hubs clean. Stones wedged between the wheel and drum and lumps of mud or grease can unbalance a wheel and tire. Check for damage that would aff e d the runout of the wheels. Wobble or shimmy caused by a damaged wheel will cause .permature tire wear and eventually damage the wheel bearings. Inspect the wheel rims for dents that could permit air to leak from the tires. WHEEL BALANCING See the instructions provided with the Rotunda Wheel Balancer. UPPER BALL JOINT INSPECTION 1. Raise the vehicle on a frame contact hoist or by floor jacks placed beneath the underbody until the wheel This is only a Demo of the product! Only a few pages are included.
