Warning! Remember that the dust produced during the operation of the brake mechanisms may contain asbestos, which is extremely harmful to human health. Never blow off dust with compressed air or inhale it - wear a protective mask or respirator when servicing mechanisms. Never use gasoline or petroleum-based solvents to clean brake system components - use only branded cleaners or methyl alcohol!
Mirage models through 1992 issue
Removing
1. The design of the drum brake mechanism used on Mirage models up to 1992, no. shown in the illustration.
2. Jack up the car and put it on stands.
3. Remove the appropriate rear wheel.
4. Remove the hub nut dust cover.
5. Give a self-locking hub nut.
6. Remove the outer wheel bearing.
7. Remove the brake drum complete with inner wheel bearing from the spindle.
8. Remove the gland.
Installation
1. To check the suitability for further use of a self-locking nut, screw it onto the spindle so that the end of the latter protrudes approximately 3 mm. Measure the counterclockwise resistance torque of the nut. The measurement result is less than 5.5 Nm, the nut must be replaced.
2. Lubricate and install the inner bearing.
3. Install a new oil seal.
4. Put the brake drum on the spindle.
5. Lubricate and install the outer wheel bearing.
6. Tighten the self-locking hub nut to the required torque (150÷200 Nm).
7. Install the protective cover.
Status check
1. Measure the inner diameter of the brake drum removed from the car - in order to identify signs of ovality, the measurement should be made at several points.
2. If the measurement result exceeds the limit value (231 mm), replace drum complete with shoes (see Section Removal and installation of brake shoes).
Models Galant and Mirage since 1993 issue.
Removing
1. The design of the drum brake mechanism used on the Galant and Mirage models since 1993, no. shown in the illustration.
2. Jack up the car and put it on stands.
3. Remove the appropriate rear wheel.
4. Loosen the parking brake adjusting nut.
5. Pulling towards you, remove the brake drum from the hub assembly, - if necessary, tap the assembly with a soft-faced hammer to release it. If the disk boiled and cannot be removed, screw a pair of bolts of suitable size into two specially provided threaded holes in its front surface and, gradually tightening them, release the drum.
Installation
1. Install the drum on the hub.
2. Install the wheel and adjust the parking brake actuator.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
