Well, I'm into another project. I figured I might as well document it. The emergency brake shoes are worn out. Prob been used since this truck has 880k on it. I noticed a lot of noise from the rear pass side. The dust cover was almost rusted away and the shoes had no brake element.



Removed the rotor, caliper, axle




More to come in a bit.

 

Most of it is pretty straight forward. So I'm gonna go with the pics


This was after pulling the axle


This is the hub nut.


Outer wheel bearing


Brake lines like this




Little oring on the end of the axle




No wonder they didn't work


This is the backside of the dust shield


This is the hub nut tool.


After getting the hub nut off, and the outer wheel bearing out, 3jaw puller,,,, 2 jaw would prob work also


Way easier to remove the e brake cable like this


Gotta separate the cable here


It's fairly easy to do by hand




Here's the seal $30 each


Very easy to pull the old seal with the puller


The tabs on the end of the cable are a little tricky to release


The studs have to come out to separate the dust shield


One of the claws on that hammer broke,,, but the lip in the center is where I needed to hit to separate them


Not much left on there.


Ok, the big spring that is on the back needs to be on the bottom. The two springs hook in the same hole, by making sure the back, bigger springs hooks are on the bottom half of the hole, then the smaller spring in the front, will clear the hub after mounting it.












That all the pics. Sorry but it was dark when I got back to reassemble it. Just thought I would take pics of this. Hope it helps someone.

 

I bet your looking to get back to work driving so you can have
some time off < Snicker > 2 trucks being worked on in one
driveway. Most here don't know about the rebuild project.

Subscribing, mine are starting to rust out in the rear as well

 

I put it back together at night. Sorry but no pics of it. Getting the springs on the e brake shoes were the biggest pain.

I needed the $30 seals ($30 each ,,, needed 2) they are pictured

There are two orings, one on each end of the axle shaft,

Need the hub nut tool,,, pictured

Need the brake hardware kit.

Two dust shields

New e brake pads

Big 3 jaw puller.

The rest are basic sockets n stuff

Make sure the lugs on the wheels are torqued before torquing the axle shaft bolts. I think the axle shaft torque was 80ft lb.
