  3. Install parking brake shoe adjuster between upper and lower parking brake shoes. Position end of adjuster with star wheel upward (Figure). Once in place, slide upper shoe downward against adjuster mounting slot, taking up any slack between two pieces.
  4. Using appropriate tools, install spring at adjuster (Figure).
    NOTE: When measuring brake drum diameter, diameter should be measured in center of shoe contact surface area.
  5. Using Brake Shoe Gauge, Special Tool C-3919, or equivalent, measure inside diameter of parking brake drum portion of rotor (Fig 2).
