Remove eight bolts (6) that hold brake drum (3) on to the drive shaft yoke, allowing the rotation of brake drum (3) for correct adjustment.
Access starwheel (1) through access holes (2) . Rotate starwheel (1) until the brake shoes press against the brake drum. The brake shoes must cause enough drag so that the drum (3) cannot be rotated by hand. Then rotate starwheel (1) in the opposite direction by 12 clicks.
Push up on lever (4) to eliminate free stroke. Dimension (A) is measured from the centerline of lever (4) to the bottom bracket assembly for parking brake actuator. Dimension (A) equals 150 25 mm (6 1 inch).Note: In order to adjust lever (4) , remove lever (4) from the splined shaft (5) . Rotate lever (4) about splined shaft (5) in order to achieve dimension (A) .
Install eight bolts (6) that hold brake drum (3) on to the drive shaft yoke.
Install the front drive shaft.
