Warning: Avoid taking the following actions when you service wheel brake parts: Do not grind brake linings, do not sand brake linings and do not clean wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air. |
Warning: Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is available commercially in order to perform this washing function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming airborne. |
Use denatured alcohol to clean brake dust or grease from the park brake shoes and hardware. |
Apply a small amount of high temperature silicone grease to the brake shoe and backing plate contact points. |
Apply a small amount of high temperature silicone grease to both sides of the actuator lever pivot pin. |
Clean the threads and apply high temperature grease to the adjuster screw. |
Adjust the park brake. |
