Before installation:
Clean the brake drum and brake caliper with alcohol. The brake cylinder is wet with brake fluid, replace it. Ream brake drums that have scratches and grooves.
Transfer the handbrake lever from the old to the new brake shoe by releasing the lock washer and removing the thrust washer.
Measure the brake drum diameter in at least 2 places. Replace the left and right brake drums and brake shoes when the wear limit is reached (diameter 182 mm) or when uneven wear occurs.
Check the compatibility of the brake drum and brake shoes by applying a layer of chalk to the inside surface of the brake drum and rubbing it with a brake shoe.
Coat the contact areas between the brake pads and the brake shield, the brake pads and the retaining pins, and the rear surface of the piston with a thin layer of heat-reducing grease, after cleaning them thoroughly.
Also lightly lubricate the thread and contact points of the mounting element.
