Brake System-- Dual
T h e se vohfctos have a dual brake system consisting of a dual master cylinder and a 3-way brake control valve assembly.
The master cylinder has two hydraulic supply reservoirs; the reservoir that is nearest to the dash panel furnishes brake fluid to the front wheel brakes, while the other, closest to the radiator, is used to supply fluid to the rear wheel brakes.
The 3-way brake control valve assembly consists of a pressure differential valve, metering valve and a proportioning valve in an aluminum body.
If unequal hydraulic pressure occurs between the front and rear brakes, the pressure differential valve will sense the condition, activate the brake warning lamp switch, and turn on the warning lamp at the instrument panel. The metering valve regulates the hydraulic pressure to the front disc brakes. The pressure to the rear brakes is controlled by the proportioning valve.
Pressure Differential Valve
As previously stated, the pressure differential valve senses an unbalanced hydraulic pressure condition between the front and rear brake system. When there is a pressure loss in either system during a brake application, the valve piston will move off center, causing the brake warning lamp to come on. The pressure differential valve is located in the central bore of the control vaive body. The warning lamp will shut off when the brake system is accurately serviced, properly bled, and the brakes are applied to center the piston.
The brake warning lamp switch is mounted on top of the control valve body. Under normal conditions when the differential valve piston is centrally located, the spring-loaded, warning switch plunger fits into the piston's tapered groove leaving the contacts of the warning switch open.
Metering Vaive
The metering valve limits the hydraulic pressure to the front disc brakes until a predetermined front hydraulic pressure has been reached. It is found in the forward end of the control valve's central bore between the front brake inlet port and the two outlet ports. This location provides an access to the valve's bleeder rod for purging the front brake system after performing brake service. Refer to Hydraulic System Bleeding.
Proportioning Valve
The proportioning valve regulates the hydraulic pressure in the rear brake system. It is located between the rear brake system inlet and outlet ports on the control valve. When the brake pedal is applied, the full rear brake fluid pressure passes through the proportioning valve to the rear brake system until the valve split point is reached. Above its split point, the proportioning valve begins to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes, creating a balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels. The proportioning valve's split point and slope performance is listed in Specifications.

Brake System -- Dual
'
The dual hydraulic brake system is a conventional, pedal-actuated system with a master cylinder, pressure control valve, brake tubes and hoses. The dual system is comprised of tront brakes in one hydraulic circuit and the rear brakes in another. The master cylinder has a com m on reservoir, brake
pressure control valve, and a fluid level indicator, all combined in one assembly.
Pressure Control Valves
The valve is screwed into the master cylinder. It limits the pressure level at the rear brakes to minimize rear wheel skidding during hard braking. The sedan and station wagon use the same valve.
NO TE: For service of the master cylinder, the pressure control valve must be removed prior to removal of the snap ring and pistons. Failure to remove the valve first will result in loss of bypass function and may damage the bore, internal seals, and pistons. To determine whether bypass function is intact, check for extension of plastic poppet (refer .to illustration). During reassembly, the valve must be installed after the pistons and snap ring.
REAR OUTLET
Metering Valve
The metering valve limits the hydraulic pressure to
the front disc brakes until a predetermined front
hydraulic pressure has been reached. The valve has

M aster Cylinder
The master cylinder has a plastic reservoir, screw-in , pressure control valve, a n d a fluid level indicator .
combined in one assembly. It is a front/rear split system master cylinder, with the rear outlet in the primary side (nearest to the dash panel) and the front outlet in the secondary side. There is a bleed screw opposite the rear outlet to be used for bleeding the primary side. D o n o t bleed through the pressure co n trol valve. The secondary outlet can be bled in the usual manner.
The fluid level indicator replaces the pressure differential valve and is contained inside ilie plastic reservoir. When the reservoir fluid level is low, the fluid level indicator switch activates the brake warning lamp.
The pressure control valve is threaded into the ' 'aster cylinder body and regulates hydraulic
P assure level at the rear brakes to minimize rear , wneel skidding during hard braking. A lso included is j a bypassing feature that allows lull rear brake
"ssure during a front brake system failure.
Fluid Level Indicator The fluid level indicator replaces the pressure differential valve u sed in the previous brake systems. It is contained inside the body of the m aster cylinder plastic reservoir and activates the brake warning lamp whenever fluid level is low.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Lincoln Town Car Brake System Diagnosis Brake System Diagnosis charts are provided to assist in a broad diagnosis of the brake system's m echanical and hydraulic problems. In addition to these charts, there are specific com ponent diagnosis charts that cover the Master Cylinder and Brake Control Valve Assembly.

DIAGNOSIS A N D TESTING (Continued)
12-01-4
Alw ays check the fluid level in the master
cylinder before perform ing the test procedures.
if the fluid level Is not within 3.18mm (.12-inch) of the
top of the master cylinder reservoirs, add Heavy
Duty B rake Fluid C 6AZ-19542-A or DOT-3
equivalent.
If a brake is lo cked and the v e h icle m ust be moved, open a bleeder screw on front and rear wheels to let out enough fluid to relieve the pressure. T his bleeding operation will release the brakes but w ill not correct the cause of trouble.
Hydraulic System
Two major problems can occur in hydraulic brake systems: internal and external leaks. Hydraulic brake systems and their components, the master cylinder and valves, do not cause the vehicle to vibrate or pull, the brakes to grab or squeal, or the brake pedal to pulse. In most cases, they will not even make the brakes drag: The sources of these problems are found elsewhere in the brake system, but it is always a good policy to first check the entire hydraulic system lor leeks before continuing to diagnose any other brake problems.
Master Cylinder
Usually, the first and strongest indicator of anything wrong in the brake system is a feeling through the brake pedal. In diagnosing the condition of the master cylinder, the Master Cylinder Diagnosis charts not only make use of pedal feel as evidence of a brake problem, but also employ two other problem indicators, such as the illumination of the brake warning lamp and the brake fluid level In the master cylinder reservoirs.
Note that the procedures refer to the use of diagnostic techniques. These techniques (Numbers 1 through 6) follow the diagnostic procedures.
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the master cylinder is in need of service.
C o ndition 1: Unequal brake fluid le v e ls in master cylinder reservoirs on front disc/rear drum b rake v e h ic le s . This condition is caused by displacement of fluid Irom the reservoir into the calipers to compensate lor normal lining wear. Top off the reservoirs.
C o n d ition 2: A m om entary or slig h t squirt of brake fluid from one or both m aster cylinder reservoir cham bers upon application of brake pedal. This condition is caused by the fluid displacement through the reservoir compensating port(s) as the master cylinder pistons move forward m the bore when the brakes are applied.
C ondition 3: A slight turbulence In the reservoir fluid occurring when the brake pedal Is released. Turbulence occurs as brake fluid relurns to the master cylinder after releasing the brakes.
C o ndition 4: A trace o f brake fluid exists on b o o ste r sh e ll below the m aster cylin d e r m ounting flange. This condition results from the lubricating action of the master cylinder wiping seal.
Abnorm al Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong-in the brake system. The diagnosis procedures and techniques In this Section use brake pedal feel, the warning lamp illumination, and brake fluid level as indicators in diagnosing brake system complaints.
C o n d ition 1: Pedal goes down fast. This could be caused by an external or internal leak.
C o n d ition 2: Pedal eases down slowly. This could be caused by an external or internal leak.
C o n d ition 3: Pedal Is low and/or feels spongy. This condition may be caused by no fluid in the reservoir, reservoir cap vent holes clogged, rear brakes out of adjustment, or air In the hydraulic system.
C o n d ition 4: Pedal effort excessive. This may be caused by a bind or obstruction in pedal/linkage, or insufficient booster vacuum.
C o ndition 5: Rear brake lockup during light pedal force. This may be caused by wrong tire pressure, grease or fluid on linings/dam aged linings, improperly adjusted parking brakes, or damaged/ contaminated proportioning valve.
C o ndition 6: Erratic pedal effort. This condition could be caused by brake booster malfunction, or extreme caliper piston knock back.
NOTE: Prior to performing any diagnosis, ensure the brake system warning tamp is functional.
The diagnosis techniques and service procedures are referenced in the Brake Master Cylinder Diagnosis charts. Reler to these charts for proper use of diagnosis techniques in diagnosing brake hydraulic system problems.
Diagnostic Techniques
Technique No. 1
A ir Trapped in Brake System
1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap and verify that both reservoir chambers are filled with fluid.
2. Place the cap loosely on the master cylinder

DIAGNOSIS A N D TESTIN G (Continued)
3. With one technician acting a s an observer at the master cylinder and another technician
. applying the brakes, pump the brakes rapidly 20 times.
4. O n the final application, hold the pedal in the applied position.
5. Rem ove the cap, and observe the fluid in the reservoirs. Quickly release the brake pedal. A geyser up to 15cm (6 inches) high will spout from the reservoir if the system h as air in it
NOTE: Pumping the brake pedal compresses trapped air. When the brake pedal is released, the com pressed air expands, forcing brake fluid back into the master cylinder with sufficient . force to form a geyser.
6. Bleed the system in which the geyser occurs.
Technique No. 2
M aster C ylinder Bypass Condition-- Check
1., Rem ove the master cylinder reservoir cap, and verify that both reservoir cham bers are filled with fluid.
2. With the reservoir cap removed, observe the fluid levels in both chambers, when the brake pedal is slowly depressed for one stroke and then quickly released.
If the fluid level in a reservoir rises while the pedal goes down and drops when the pedal is released but the overall fluid level in the reservoir remains unchanged, the master cylinder is bypassing. Service the master cylinder.
Technique No. 3
Checking the Cause of an Em pty Reservoir without an External Pressure Leak
An empty reservoir condition may be caused by two types of non-pressure external leaks:
T ype 1: A n external leak may occur at the master cylinder reservoir ca p b e cause o l im proper positioning of the gasket and cap. Reposition the cover and gasket assembly.
T yp e 2: A n external leak may occur at the mounting end of the master cylinder because of a bore end seal leak. Service such a master cylinder.
Technique No. 4
External Fluid Leaks-- Check
It is p ossible that all evidence of fluid leakage may have been washed off if the vehicle has been operated in rain or snow, as brake fluid is water soluble. R efill the system, bleed, and apply the brakes several times. Examine the system to verify if the reservoir level is actually dropping. Locate and correct the external leak.
Technique No. 5
Brake Pedal Reserve-- Check
Vacuum -Powered Brakes
On vacuum-power brake equipped vehicles where a low pedal or the feel of a bottomed out condition * exists, check for brake pedal reserve using the following procedure:
1. Operate the engine at idle with the transmission in either P A R K or N E U T R A L position.
2. Apply the brake pedal until it stops moving downward or an increased resistance to the pedal travel occurs.
NOTE: A clunk may be felt a s the pedal reaches this point.
3. Hold the pedal in the applied position, and raise the engine speed to approximately 2,000 rpm.
4. R e le a se the accelerator pedal, and observe if the brake pedal m oves downward as the engine returns to idle speed.
NOTE: The additional movement of the brake pedal is the result of the increased, engine manifold vacuum which exerts more force on the brake booster during engine run down. This m eans that additional stroke is available in the m aster cylinder, and the brake system is not bottoming out as a customer may believe.
Technique No. 6
Checking the M aster C ylinder for Open Com pensator Port(s)
1. Push brake pedal, and observe the fluid in master cylinder reservoirs.
2. A sm all spout should appear in one or both reservoirs upon brake application.
3. If no spout appears, loosen the master cylinder attaching bolts 6.0mm (.25 inch), hold the master cylinder out, and check for open com pensator port(s) as above.
4. if com pensation now occurs, verify booster push rod length and adjust if required. If not. service m aster cylinder.
Alw ays check the fluid level'm the master cylinder before performing the te st procedures. If the fluid level is not within 3.18mm (. 12 inch) of the top of the master cylinder reservoirs, add Heavy Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-A or D OT-3 equivalent.
If a brake is locked and the vehicle must be moved, open a bleeder screw to let out enough fluid to relieve the pressure. T his bleeding operation will release the brakes but will not correct the cause of trouble.

II a brake Is lo ck e d and the ve hicle m ust be moved, open a bleeder screw to let out enough fluid to relieve the pressure. This bleeding operation will release the brakes but wHl not correct the cause of trouble.
Master Cylinder
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the master cylinder is in need of service:
Condition 1: New brake systems are not designed to produce as hard a pedal effort as in the p a st Complaints o l light pedal efforts should be compared to pedal efforts on another vehicle, same model and year.
Condition 2: A trace ot brake fluid existing on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting flange. This results Irom the normal lubncating action ol the master cylinder bore end seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
Abnormal Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the The following conditions use brake pedal reel ano the warning lamp along with reservoir indicators in diagnosing brake system complaints.
Condition 1: Pedal goes down la s t This could be caused by an external leak or internal leak.
Condition 2: Pedal eases down slowly. This could be caused by an external leak or internal leak.
Condition 3: Pedal is low and/or feels spongy. This condition may be caused by. no fluid in reservoir cap vent holes clogged, rear brakes out of adjustment, or air in the hydraulic system.

C o n d ition 7: Brake warning lamp ON: This may be caused by low fluid level, ignition wire routing too d o se to fluid level indicator assembly, or float assembly damage.
NOTE: Prior to performing any diagnosis, ensure that the brake system warning lamp is functional.
The diagnosis techniques and service procedures are referenced in the Brake M aster Cylinder Diagnosis charts. Refer to these charts for proper use of diagnosis techniques in diagnosing brake hydraulic system problems.
Diagnostic Techniques
Technique No. 1
External Fluid Leake--Check
It is possible that aD evidence of fluid leakage may have w ashed off, if the vehicle has been operated m rain or snow, as brake fluid is water soluble. Refill system, bleed, and apply the brakes several times. Examine the system to verify that the reservoir fluid level is actually dropping. Locate and correct the external leak. If fluid level drops and no external leak can be found, check lor a master cylinder bore end seal leak.
Technique No. 2
Master Cylinder Bypass Condition Check
1. Check fluid in master cylinder. Fill reservoir if low or empty.
2 Observe fluid level in reservoir. If after several brake applications the fluid level remains the same, measure wheel turning torque required to rotate wheels with brakes applied as follows:
Place transmission in N EU TRAL and raise front wheels off the ground.
Apply brakes with a minimum of 445N (100 lbs) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With brakes still applied, exert torque on front w heels to 101 N m (75 >-). 11 either wheel rotates, check internals of master cylinder and replace damaged parts.
Technique No. 3
Reservoir Sealing Points-- Check
An empty reservoir condition may be caused by two types ot non-pressure external leaks.

Condition 2 -- Pedal eases down slowly and brake warning lamp comes on.
Pump brake pedal rapidly:
II the brake pedal height builds up and holds, check
lor ihe presence ol air. (Use Diagnostic Technique
No. 1 )
II the brake pedal height builds up and then sinks down, check lor an external leak. (Use Diagnostic
Technique No. 4) or a master cylinder by-pass (Use

II the brake pedal height fails to build up. check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir:
If a reservoir is empty, add fluid; bleed the system; and check (or external teak. (Use Diagnostic Techniques No. 3 and No. 4 )
If the reservoirs are lull, check tor a gross master cylinder by-pass. (Use Diagnostic Technique No.
2.)
This condition could be caused by an external leak in the brake system or an internal by-pass in the master cylinder.
Apply the brakes several times while observing the
lluid levels in the reservoirs.
if the net fluid level in a reservoir eases down with
each stroke cycle, check lor an external leak. (Use
Diagnostic Technique No. 4)
-
It the lluid level in a reservoir rises while the pedal eases down and drops when the pedal is
released, but the net fluid level remains unchanged, then service the master cylinder tor
a fluid by-pass condition.
Condition 3 -- Pedal is low and brake warning lamp does not come on.
This condition may be caused by: air m the hydraulic system, or no lluid in one reservoir.
II the reservoir is empty, add lluid. bleed, and check the system lor external leaks. (See Diagnostic Technique Nos. 3 and 4.)
II the reservoir is lull, check tor the presence ol air in the hydraulic system (Use Diagnostic Technique No. 1)
II this condition happens occasionally, check the front wheel bearings tor looseness. (Loose front wheel beanngs allow the disc rotor to knock the caliper piston back, creating excessive lining clearance )
Condition 4 - - Pedal feels spongy.
This may be normal as newer brake systems are not designed to produce as hard a pedal as in the past To verily this, compare the pedal feel with another like vehicle.
Check for the presence ol air in the hydraulic system. (Use Diagnostic Technique No 1).
Condition 5 -- Pedal erratic -- no brake warning lamp.
This may be caused by incomplete brake release,

ADJUSTMENTS
Brake Vacuum Booster Push Rod-ToMaster Cylinder
The vacuum booster has an adjustable push rod (output rod) which is used to compensate for dimensional variations in an assembled booster. The push rod length is adjusted after each booster power unit has been assembled in production. A property adjusted push rod that remains within the booster after it was assembled in production should never require a service adjustment
A booster that is suspected of having an improper push rod length will indicate either of the following:
a. A push rod which is too long will prevent the master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure, eventually causing the brakes to drag.
b. A push rod which ts too short will increase brake pedal travel and cause a clunk or groaning noise from the booster.
II necessary, a booster push rod length can be verified with a push rod gauge using the following procedure:

2. With the engine idling, gauge and adjust the push rod length. A force of approximately 22.24 N (5 lbs) applied to the push rod with the gauge will ensure that the push rod is seated within the power unit.
Manual Bleeding
The primary and secondary (front and rear)
hydraulic brake systems are individual systems
and are bled separately. Bleed the longest line
first on the individual system being serviced.
During the complete bleeding operation, DO
NOT allow the reservoir to run dry. Keep the
. master cylinder reservoirs filled with Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-A or DOT-3 equivalent.
Never reuse brake fluid that has been drained
from the hydraulic system or has been allowed
to stand in an open container for an extended
period of time.
_
NOTE: On vehicles which have the master cylinder mounted at an angle to the horizontal, bleeding may
be better performed if the vehicle is positioned so that the master cylinder is horizontal.
1. To bleed the brake system, position a suitable box wrench on the bleeder fitting on the brake
wheel cylinder. Attach a rubber drain tube to the bleeder fitting. The end of the tube should fit
s n u g ly around the bleeder fitting.
2. Submerge the free end of the tube in a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid,
and loosen the bleeder fitting approximately
three-quarter turn.

Hydraulic System Bleeding
When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for service or replacement, air may enter the system causing a spongy pedal action. Bleed the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected to ensure that all air is expelled.
6. If the primary (front brake) system is to be bled, repeat Steps 2 through 5 at the right front brake caliper and ending at the left front brake caliper.
7. O n F o rd Crow n V ic to ria /M e rc u ry Grand M arquis vehicles the master cylinder also has a ble e d e r fitting. Use the sam e procedure described in Steps 1 through 4 to bleed the m aster cylinder.
8. Alter disc brake service, ensure that the disc brake pistons are returned to their normal positions and the shoe and lining assemblies are properly seated. This is accomplished by depressing the brake pedal several times until
normal pedal travel is established.

Pressure Bleeding
For pressure bleeding, use a bladder-type bleeder
tank only, such as the Rotunda Brake Bleeder 104
00064 or equivalent. This type bleeder, with a rubber
diaphragm, separates the brake fluid from the
pressurized air charge.
.
Bleed the longest lines first. The bleeder tank should contain enough new brake fluid to complete the bleeding operation. Use Heavy Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-A or DOT-3 equivalent. Never reuse brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system . The tank sh ou ld be charged with approximately 69-207 k P a (10-30 psi) of air pressure. Never exceed 345 kPa (50 psi) pressure.
1. Clean all dirt from the m aster cylinder reservoir cover.
2. Rem ove the master cylinder reservoir cover
and rubber gasket. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with the specified brake fluid. Install the pressure bleeder adapter tool to die master cylinder, and attach the bleeder tank hose to the fitting on the adapter. Master cylinder
pressure bleeder adapter tools can be obtained from various manufacturers. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to install the adapter.
3. If the rear wheel cylinders (the secondary brake
system) are to be bled, use a suitable box
wrench on the bleeder fitting at the right, rear
brake wheel cylinder. Attacn a bleeder tube
snugly around the bleeder fitting.
4. Open the valve on the bleeder tank to admit
pressurized brake fluid into the master cylinder
reservoir.
'
5. Submerge the rree end o f the tube in a container partially tilled with clean brake fluid, and loosen the bleeder fitting.
6. When air bubbles cease to appear in the lluid at the submerged end of the bleeder tube, close the bleeder fitting. Rem ove the tube.
7. Repeat Steps 4, 5 and 6 at the left rear wheel cylinder.
8. On front brakes, repeat Steps 4 ,5 and 6 starting at the RH from disc caliper and ending at the LH front disc caliper. On metering valves, the release rod must be pushed in and held while bleeding the primary brake system.
9. When the bleeding operation is completed, close the bleeder tank valve, and remove the tank hose from the adapter fitting.
10. After disc brake service, ensure disc brake pistons are returned to their normal positions and the shoe and lining assemblies are properly seated. This is accom plished by depressing the brake pedal several times until normal pedal travel is established.
11. Remove the pressure bleeder adapter tool from master cylinder. Fill the master cylinder reservoir on Lincoln Town Car, or lo the M AX line on Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis. Install the master cylinder cover and ga ske t Ensure the diaphragm-type gasket is property positioned In the master cylin d e r cover.
Pressure Differential Valve-- Centralizing
Lincoln Town Car
After any service or bleeding of the primary (front brake) or secondary (rear brake) system, the dual brake warning (amp switch should be shut off by centralizing the pressure differential valve's piston.
T o centralize the pressure differential valve and turn off the warning lamp after a service operation, perform the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to A C C or ON position.
2. Depress the brake pedal and the piston will center itself, causing the brake warning lamp to go out (if it w as illuminated).
3. Turn the ignition switch to O F F position.
4. Before driving the vehicle, check operation of the brakes, and ensure that a firm pedal is obtained

9. Always replace rubber caliper pin insulators when replacing linings. Do not lubricate the slide pins.
10. Caliper slide pins must be hand started into spindle before tightening. This is to ensure that the large diameter of pin is through outer shoe holes to prevent binding or bending. Be careful not to damage the rubber caliper pin insulator when inserting the slide pins.
6. Inspect the brake drum and, if necessary,
refinish. The maximum inside braking surface diameter is shown on each brake drum. If the maximum inside braking surface
diameter shown on the drum is exceeded either by wear or refinishing, the drum must be replaced. Refer to Section 12-02 for refinishing.
Drum Brakes
1. Remove the wheel from the drum, and remove the drum. Refer to Section 12-02.
2. Removal of dust and dirt from brake assemblies should be done by using the Rotunda Brake Vacuum 091-00001 or Rotunda Brake Parts Washer 065-00016 or equivalent.
WARNING: BRAKE ASSEMBLY DUST AND DIRT SH O U LD NOT BE R EM O VED BY BLOWING OFF WITH AN AIR GUN BECAUSE A HEALTH HAZARD FROM BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY DEVELOP.
3. Inspect the brake shoes for excessive lining wear or shoe damage. If the lining is worn within .794mm (1/32-inch) of the rivet heads or if the shoes are damaged, they must be replaced. Replace any lining that has been contaminated with oil, grease, or brake fluid. Replace lining in axle sets. Prior to replacement of lining, the drum diameter should be checked to determine that the brake drum braking surface diameter is within specification by using the Rotunda Brake Drum Micrometer 010-00010 or equivalent If the braking surface diameter exceeds specification, the drum must be replaced.
4. Check the condition of brake shoes, retracting springs, hold-down springs, and drum for signs of overheating. If the shoes have a slight blue coloring, indicating overheating, the retracting and hold-down springs should be replaced. Overheated springs lose their puH and could cause the new lining to wear prematurely, if not replaced. If the brake drums are heat spotted, Indicating an o verh eated condition, they should be replaced.
5. Inspect all other brake parts, and replace any that are worn or damaged.
Brake Booster Check the booster operation as noted under Power Brake Functional Test If the brake booster is damaged or inoperative, replace it with a new booster. The brake booster Is serviced only as an assembly. Including the check valve.
Brake Tubing If a section ot the brake tubing becomes damaged, the entire section should be replaced with tubing of the same type, size, shape, and length. Copper tubing should not be used in a hydraulic system. When bending brake tubing to fit underbody or rear axle contours, be careful not to kink or crack the tube.

WARNING: DO NOT INHALE DUST FROM BRAKES, CLUTCHES OR ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. INHALATION OF DUST CONTAINING ASBESTOS FIBERS CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH AND COULD CAUSE CANCER OR ASBESTOSIS. COMPRESSED AIR OR BRUSHES MUST NOT BE USED TO CLEAN BRAKES, BRAKE DRUMS, CLUTCHES AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. A VACUUM CLEANER EQUIPPED FOR THIS PURPOSE SHOULD BE CAREFULLY USED TO REMOVE ANY DUST. ADHERENT DUST SHOULD BE REMOVED WITH A DAMP CLOTH. ANY DUST SHOULD BE CONTAINED IN A SEALED AND LABELED BAG FOR DISPOSAL. WEAR AN APPROVED HIGH EFF ICIEN CY C A R T R I D G E OR AIR LINE RESPIRATOR AND USE EXTRA CAUTION TO AVOID BREATHING THIS DUST. USE NON-ASBESTOS REPLACEMENT PARTS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Brake System, Drum
These vehicles are equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The front and rear brakes are actuated by separate hydraulic systems, so if a leak occurs in either system, the remaining system is still operative.
The rear drum brakes utilize internal, hydraulically actuated, expanding brake shoes that are applied against a rotating brake drum.
The m ost im portant fact co ntributing to the effectiveness of fhe braking force supplied by the drum brake is the brake shoe pressure or force directed against the drum (Fig. 1). With the vehicle moving in either the forward or reverse direction with the brakes >r the applied force of the brake shoe, pressing n jainst the brake drum, will increasingly multiply itself jecause the brake's anchor pin acts as a brake shoe stop and prohibits the brake shoe from its tendency to .iJow the movement of the rotating drum; this results in
wedging action between the brake shoe and brake
drum. The wedging action combined with the applied brake force creates a self-multiplied brake force.
Another factor that contributes to the braking force supplied by the brake drum is the servo-action which results when one brake shoe pushes against the other. The brake force of the primary brake shoe is amplified by the force or pressure transmitted from the primary shoe to the secondary shoe through an adjuster screw, which acts as a connecting link between the two shoes (Fig. 2). Forward and reverse servo-action is also provided when the parking brake is applied. The parking brake is mechanically actuated by a cable system that pulls on the parking brake lever, causing the lever to pivot against the parking brake Ink located between the shoes (Fig. 2). Ires action expands the brake shoes, pressing them toward the brake drum.

Brake Shoes
After any brake service work, obtain a firm brake pedal before moving the vehicle. Adjusted brakes must not drag; wheels must turn freely.
The hydrauBc drum brakes are self-adjusting and require a manual adjustment only after the brake shoes have been refined, replaced, or when the length of the adjusting screw has been changed while performing some other service operation. The manual adjustment is performed with the drums removed, using the tool and the procedure detailed below.
When adjusting the rear brake shoes, check the parking brake cables for proper adjustment Ensure that the equalizer operates freely with the shoes centered on the backing plate.
E n su re that the upper ends of the brake shoes are seated on the anchor pin. The parking brake link should have 0.127-0.64mm (0.005-0.025 Inch) end play after overcoming the load of the parking brake Rnk anti-rattle spring.
To adjust the brake shoes:
1. Determine inside cSameter ot the drum braking surface, using Brake Adjustment Gauge D81L1103-A or equivalent (Fig. 3).

13. Position the hooked end of the adjuster spring completely into the large hole in the primary shoe web. Connect the loop end of the spring to the adjuster lever hole.
14. Pull the adjuster lever, cable and automatic adjuster spring down and toward the rear, engaging the pivot hook in the large hole of- the secondary shoe web (Fig. 2).
15. After installation, check the action of the adjuster by pulling the cable between the cable guide and the adjuster lever toward the secondary shoe web, far enough to lift the lever past a tooth on the adjusting screw wheel. The lever should snap into position behind the next tooth, and the release of the cable should cause the adjuster spring to return the lever to its original position. This return action of the lever will turn the adjusting screw one tooth.
If pulling the cable does not produce the action described, or if the lever action is sluggish instead of positive and sharp, check position of lever on the adjusting screw toothed wheel (Fig. 4).
With the brake in a vertical position (anchor at the top), the lever should contact the adjusting wheel 4.763mm i .794mm (3/16 inch 1/32 inch) above the centerline of the screw. If the contact point is below this centerline, the lever will not lock on the teeth in the adjusting screw wheel, and the screw will not be turned.
Perform brake shoe adjustment,
o determine the cause of this condition:
a. Ensure that the upper or anchor pin end of the cable is pulled toward the cable guide as far as possible and that the end fitting is pointing toward the cable guide.
b. Check the cable end fittings. The cable should completely fill or extend slightly beyond the

crimped section of the fittings. If it does not meet this specification, possible damage is indicated, and the cable assembly should be replaced.
c. Check the cable length. Measure from the Inside edge ol the hook to the far edge of the anchor hole. The cable length for 279mm (11irtch) brakes is 282.6mm (11 1/B-inches). The tolerance on cable length is plus or minus ,397mm (1/64-inch).
d. Check the cable guide lor damage. The cable groove should be parallel to the shoe web, and the body of the guide should lie flat against the web. Replace the guide if it shows damage.
e. Check the pivot hook on the lever. The hook surfaces should be square with the body of the lever for proper pivoting. Replace the lever if the hook shows damage.
f. Verify that the adjusting screw socket is property seated in the notch in the shoe web.
16. Ensure that the upper ends of the brake shoes are seated against the anchor pin and that the shoes are centered on the backing plate. If they are not seated, back-off the parking brake system adjustment to obtain 0.127-0.64mm (0.005-0.025inch) play alter overcoming the load of the parking brake link spring.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Use Rotunda Brake and Clutch Service Vacuum 091-00001 or equivalent to remove all dust from backing plates and interior of brake drums.
2. Inspect brake shoes for excessive lining wear or shoe damage. If fining is damaged or worn within 0.79mm (1/32-inch) of the rivet heads on riveted linings it must be replaced. Replace any lining that has been contaminated with oil, grease or brake fluid. Replace lining in axle sets only. Never replace just one shoe ot a brake assembly. Replace bom leading and trailing shoes. Prior to replacement of lining, drum diameter should be checked to determine that brake drum diameter is within specification. If braking surface diameter exceeds specification, drum must be replaced.
3. Check condition of brake shoes, retracting spring, hold-down springs, and drum for signs of overheating. If shoes have a slight blue coloring, indicating overheating, retracting and hold-down springs should be replaced. Overheated springs lose their tension and could allow new lining to drag and wear prematurely, if not replaced.
4. Inspect all other brake parts and replace any that are worn or damaged.
5. Inspect brake drum and, if necessary, refinish. The maximum inside diameter is shown on each brake
drum. .It maximum inside diameter is exceeded either by wear or refinishing, drum must be replaced.
OVERHAUL
Brake Drum Refinishlng
Minor sco res on a brake drum can be removed with sandpaper. D o not refinish drums to remove score marks. A drum surface which is highly polished can cause the brake to lock-up. This polished condition should be removed either with sandpaper or by reiinishing the drum. A drum that Is out of round sufficiently enough to cause vehicle vibration or noise when braking, should be refinished. Remove only enough stock to true-up the drum. Brake drum maximum inside diameter is show n on each drum. Refer
to Section 12-01. If the maximum inside diameter shown
on the drum Is exceeded either through wear or refinishlng, the drum must be replaced.
Check the inside diameter of the brake drum with Brake Adjustment Gauge D81L-1103-A or Rotunda Brake Drum M icrom eter 010-00010 or equivalent.
After a drum 3 refinished, wipe the refinished surface
with a cloth soaked in clean denatured alcohol. If one drum is refinished, the opposite drum on the same axle should a lso be refinished to the sam e diameter.
Brake Shoes
Rellnlng
Brake linings that are worn to within 0.79mm (1 /32-inch) of a rivet head or have been contaminated with brake fluid, grease or oil must be replaced. Failure to replace worn linings will result in a scored drum. When it Is necessary to replace linings, they must also be replaced on the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle. Inspect brake shoes for distortion, cracks or looseness. If these conditions exist, the shoe must be discarded. Do not attempt to service a damaged brake shoe.
1. W ash the brake shoes thoroughly in a clean solvent. Dry thoroughly. R em ove all burrs or rough spots from the shoes.
2. Check the inside diameter of the brake drum with Brake Adjustment Gauge D81L-1103-A or Rotunda Brake Drum Micrometer 010-00010 or equivalent
3. Position the new lining on the shoe. Starting in the center, insert and secure the rivets, working alternately towards each end. Replacement Wirings are ground and no further grinding is required.
4. C h e ck the clearance between the shoe and lining. The lining must seat tightly against the shoe with
not more than 0.20mm (0.008 inch) clearance
between any two rivets.
Wheel Cylinders
Wheel cylinders should not be disassembled unless they are leaking. Carefully pull lower edges of wheel cylinder boots away from cylinders to see if the interior o l the cylinder is wet with brake fluid. Excessive fluid at this point Indicates leakage past piston cups and a need for wheel cylinder overhaul.
NOTE: A slight amount ot fluid is nearly always present and acts as a lubricant for the piston. It is not necessary to remove the brake cylinder from the backing plate to

Caliper Assem bly
The caliper assembly consists of a pin slider-type caliper housing, inner and outer shoe and lining assemblies and a single phenolic piston. The caliper assembly slides on two locating pins which also act to position the caliper and to attach the outer shoe to the combination anchor plate and spindle.
The caliper housing contains a single phenolic piston. The piston has a moulded rubber dust boot on its outer end that attaches to a cylinder bore groove to prevent cylinder contamination. There is also a rectangular section rubber piston seal located in the cylinder bore providing sealing between the cylinder and piston (Fig. 1). A groove is also cut inside the phenolic piston lor inner brake shoe d ip retention.
The outer brake shoe and lining assembly is longer lhan the inner sh oe and lining assembly. Both inner and outer shoe lining assemblies are attached to the caliper by spring clips. The inner and outer clip are riveted to the lining assembly. The inner shoe is attached to the caliper by installing the spring clip to the inside of the caliper piston. The outer shoe clips directly to the caliper housing. The outer shoes are RH and LH and must not be interchanged. Two rubber caliper pin insulators are installed in the caliper attaching holes. The Insulators prevent rnetaMo-metal contact between the locating pins and the caliper.
Anchor Plate
The anchor plate is an integral part of the spindle. Spindles are RH or LH, and are not interchangeable.
Rotor and Splash Shield
The rotor is a cast iron disc design, similar to existing designs, which attaches to the combination spindle/ anchor plate in the same manner as existing front disc rotors. The splash shield is made of a glass filled nylon material. Attachment ot the shield to the spindle is accomplished by using three bolts.

8. Apply the brake pedal several times to properly
position the brake shoe and lining assemblies.
Rotor Splash Shield
Removal
Refer to Fig. 4.
1. Remove the caliper and the hub and rotor assembly as outlined. It is not necessary to disconnect hydraulic connections.
2. Rem ove the three bolts attaching the splash shield to the spindle and remove the shield.
3. Rem ove and discard the splash shield-to-spindle gasket.
Installation
1. Install a new splash shield-to-spindle gasket.
2. If the shield is bent or damaged, replace it with a straight shield. Position the shield on the spindle. Install the attaching bolts. Tighten to 13-20 N-m (115-177 lb-in).
3. Install the hub and rotor assembly and the caliper as outlined.
NOTE: The splash shield is made of plastic, and cannot be bent or adjusted (except on Police vehicles).
OVERHAUL
Alter any service work, pump the brake pedal to obtain a firm brake pedal before moving the vehicle. Riding the brake pedal (common on left-foot application) must be avoided when driving the vehicle.
Caliper
Disassembly
1. Rem ove the caliper assembly from spindle and rotor a s outlined. Do not use screwdriver or similar tool to pry piston back into cylinder bore. Use a Cclamp. Remove outer shoe by slipping down caliper leg until the clip is disengaged. Remove inner sh oe by pulling it straight out of piston.
NOTE: Removal force may be as high as 196-294 N (20-30 lbs).
2. Disconnect the caliper from the hydraulic system, and blow the piston out by using air pressure. Apply air pressure to the fluid port in the caliper with Air Nozzle Assembly Tool 7000-DE or equivalent (Fig. 5) to remove the piston. If the piston is seized and cannot be forced from the caliper, tap lightly around the piston while applying air pressure. Do not use a screwdriver or similar tool to pry the piston out of the bore, because it may result in damage to the piston. Cushion the piston's impact against the caliper iron when blowing it out of the bore by placing shop towels between the piston and caliper bridge.
Use care because the piston can develop considerable force from pressure buildup.
3. Rem ove the dust boot from the caliper assembly.
4. Rem ove the rubber piston seal Irom the cylinder
and discard it.
Cleaning and Inspection
Clean all metal parts with isopropyl alcohol. Then, dean out and dry the grooves and passageways with com pressed air. Ensure that caliper bore and component parts are thoroughly clean.
Check the cylinder bore and piston lor damage or excessive wear. Replace the piston if it is pitted or scored, or on Police vehicles il the chrome plating is worn off. The piston should also be replaced if it does
not meet the requirements in Fig. 6.
Assembly
t. When assembling the caliper, examine the piston for surface irregularities or small chips and cracks
(Fig. 6). If necessary, replace the piston. Be sure to
clean foreign material from piston surfaces and lubricate them with brake fluid before inserting it into the caliper.
2. When installing the piston back into the bore, use a
wood block or another flat stock, like an old shoe lining assembly, between the C-clamp and piston. Do not apply C-clamp directly to the piston surface, because this can result in damage to the piston. Ensure the piston is not cocked.
3. Apply a film of clean brake fluid to the new caliper piston seal, and install it in the cylinder bore. Ensure the seal is not twisted but is firmly seated in the groove.
4. Install a new dust boot by setting the flange squarely in the outer groove of the caliper bore.
5. Coat the piston with brake fluid, and install the piston in the cylinder bore. Spread the dust boot over the piston as it is installed. Seat the dust boot in the piston groove.
6. Ensure the dust boot is tight in the boot groove on
the piston.
7. To install the inner shoe with its 3-linger clip attached to the shoe into the piston, grab each end of the shoe, making it square with the piston, and push firmly until the shoe clip snaps into the piston. Do not allow the shoe or clip tangs to cock during installation; this avoids bending the clip.
8. Install the caliper over the rotor as outlined.
Rotor Refinishlng
Refer to Brake Diagnosis in Section 12-01 for conditions necessitating rotor refinishing.
Brake roughness (vibration or pedal pulsation) that is present during service brake application is caused by either rotor thickness variation or corrosion buildup on the rotor braking surfaces. Check with Rotor Thickness Gauge T75P-1102-B or equivalent. This thickness variation can occur with rotor wear in excess of 19311 km (12,000 miles) use. Rotor turning may thus be necessary beyond the warranty period. The rotors should only be turned as a last resort. The suspension and brake systems of passenger vehicles are designed and built to tolerate rotor thickness variations well above previous brake designs. Rotor replacement should only be required for such circumstances as damaged rotors, bearings, or heavy rotor scoring where rotor turning is not possible.
If pedal pulsation occurs, attempt stopping the vehicle with the transmission in NEUTRAL. If roughness is gone, the drivetrain should be inspected, if the

Maximum allowable stock removal of the inner rotor braking surface is determined by the use of D isc Rotor Surface Gauge T71P-1102-A and Rotor Gauge Ban T74P-1102-A or equivalent (Fig. 8) as follows:
1. Rem ove the inner grease retainer and bearing
assem bly from the hub and rotor assembly. Wipe the inner and outer bearing cups clean.
2. Carefully place the gauge ball in the inner bearing cup (do not drop).
3. Install Disc Rotor Surface Gauge Adapter T79L-
1102-A or equivalent to micrometer, and set the
micrometer to the baseline setting dimension (Fig. 7).
4. Position the micrometer gauge bar on the rotor inner braking surface with the micrometer centered
over the ball (Fig. 8). To measure the distance
between the micrometer baseline setting and the baH, turn the micrometer down to touch the top of the baH. and calculate the difference between that reading and the baseline setting. This distance is equal to the maximum allowable stock removal from the inside braking surface only. II the micrometer end at the baseline setting touches the ball, no additional stock removal is allowed.
If the micrometer must be retracted from the baseline setting to allow the legs to set on the rotor surface, the rotor has had more than allowable stock removed, and the rotor assembly must be replaced.

If the rotor thickness Is less than the minimum (Fig. 7), the rotor must be replaced regardless of the gauge bar and ball measurement Rotor minimum thickness is also shown on each
rotor.
6. Position the rotor in the lathe arbor. Never use a
lathe that cuts only one lace of the rotor at a time; it must be a simultaneous straddle cut. Install a dial indicator to read rotor lateral runout near the center of the rotor face. If runout is 0.05mm (0.002 inch) or below, proceed to machine rotor. If runout is over 0.05mm (0.002 inch), loosen rotor on the arbor, and rotate the rotor 90 degrees. Read the runout, and if it is below 0.05mm (0.002 inch), proceed to machine the rotor. If runout is still over
0.05mm (0.002 inch), again loosen the rotor, and
rotate it an additional 90 degrees. Check the runout. If the runout is 0.05mm (0.002 inch) or less, .proceed to machine the rotor. If the runout still exceeds 0.05mm (0.002 inch), return the rotor to the best runout position obtained. If the rotor runout can be brought below 0.13mm (0.005 inch), proceed to machine the rotor. If the rotor cannot
be brought below 0.13mm (0.005 inch) runout, it must be replaced.
7. Set the cutting tool to contact only the high spot on the rotor, then adjust the cutting tool to the minimum depth required to clean up the rotor face.
Do not exceed the allowable stock removal for the Inner braking surface or total rotor thickness. Before installing the rotor on the spindle, clean all chips from the rotor, and flush new grease through the bearing with a bearing packing tool.
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis chart covers service procedures that are common for front disc brake concerns. Using this chart to diagnose brake problems, may virtually eliminate the need for turning or replacing disc brake rotors except for those with extended mileage.
Replacing rotors should be limited to vehicles Involved In accidents and rotors extremely scored. Turning of rotors should be limited to rotors experiencing certain wheel bearing problems.

DESCRIPTION
The diaphragm-type brake booster is self-contained and is mounted o n the engine side of the dash panel. The vacuum brake booster utilizes engine intake manifold vacuum and atmospheric pressure for its power.
Adjustm ent of the push rod and replacem ent o f the check valve are the only services perm itted on the brake booster.
if any brake booster is damaged or inoperative, replace it with a new booster. The brake booster (including the check valve) is serviced only as an assembly.
ADJUSTMENTS
Brake Booster-To-Master Cylinder Push Rod
The vacuum booster has an adjustable push rod (output rod) which is used to compensate for dimensional variations in an assembled booster. The push rod length is adjusted after each booster power unit has been assembled in production. A properly adjusted push rod that rem ains assembled to the booster with
w hich it was matched in production should never require a service adjustment.
A booster that is suspected of having an improper push rod length will indicate either ol the following:
A push rod that is too long will prevent the master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure, eventually, causing the brakes to drag.
A push rod that is too short will increase brake pedal travel and cause a groaning noise to come from the booster.
If necessary, booster push rod length can be verified with a push rod gauge (Fig. 1) by using the following procedure:
1. Without disconnecting the brake tubes, disconnect the master cylinder, and set it away from the booster power unit. The master cylinder must be supported to prevent damaging the brake lubes
2. With the engine running, gauge and adjust the push rod length (Fig. 2) A force Of approximately 22N (5 lbs) applied to the push rod with the gauge will ensure lhat the push rod is sealed within the power unit.

3. Install the master cylinder on the power u nit Gradually alternate tightening the retaining nuts to 18-34 N-m (13-25 Ib-tt). Refer to Section 12-01.
4. With the engine running and the master cylinder
reservoir cover removed, observe the fluid surface in the reservoirs when the brake pedal is applied rapidly.
NOTE: Some fluid movement should occur in the forward reservoir. If fluid surface movement did not occur, the push rod is adjusted too long, and the procedure must be repeated to prevent eventual brake drag.

DESCRIPTION. The parking brake control assembly is shown in Fig. 1. The parking brake system s are shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
Control Assemblies An independent foot-operated parking brake control actuates the rear w heel brake shoes through a cable system (Fig., 1). The parking brake warning lamp can be actuated by the parking brake control. It warns the driver to release the parking brake control belore driving the vehicle. II the lamp remains lit, a brake malfunction has occurred.
The automatic (vacuum) release-type is standard equipment. The automatic vacuum-type parking b r a k e system h as a vacuum power unit with mounting bracket bolted to the

control assembly. The vacuum-actuated diaphragm within the unit is connected by a rod to the upper end of the release lever.
Hoses connect the vacuum motor to the engine manilold through a vacuum release switch at the steering column.
The vacuum motor is actuated to release the parking brake w henever the engine is running and the transmission is in a forward driving gear.
The automatic parking brake control has a manual release T-handle which extends from under the LH side ol the instrument panel. Pulling this handle releases the parking brake.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Vacuum Release Parking Brake
Look closely at the operation of the brake linkage as the parking brak pedal is depressed. Then, check the operation of the brake linkage when the manual release lever is activated. These checks will indicate whether the manual parking brake control linkage is operating properly or requires service or adjustment. Adjustment may be necessary if the parking brake is unable to prevent moderate vehicle movement. Perform tests ol the parking brake system and controls after making sure the linkage and manual controls operate properly.
When testing a parking brake vacuum release system, a minimum o l 34 kPa (10 in-Hg) should be available at a points w here vacuum is applied. This can be checked with a gauge, such as Rotunda Vacuum Tester 021 00014 or equivalent.
Failure to maintain 34 kPa (10 in-Hg) during vacuum system tests could be caused by a loose hose connection, resulting in a vacuum leak. When checking for vacuum between two points, trace the hose along its entire routing to ensure it is not crossed with another hose or connected to the wrong connection.
All ol the vacuum parking brake control checks areito be performed with the engine running at idle speed.
To detect any teaks in the parking brake hoses or to find disconnected or improperly connected hoses, listen for a hissing sound along the hose routing.
