BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE Drum Brake Component Reassembly LESSON ONE-MODULE 2 BSR030-A Lubrication Points on Backing Plate Reassembly of drum brake components is basically the reverse of the disassembly procedure, and is covered in detail in all Ford Workshop Manuals. However, there are some important additional steps that should be noted, these include: Use of Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (XG-3-A) or equivalent meeting Ford specifi cations ESE-M1C171-A to the contact pads of the backing plate. This will aid free movement of the brake shoes and help prevent squeaking of the brakes after reassembly. Apply a thin uniform coat of Premium Long-Life Grease XG-l-C or equivalent to the threads of the selfadjuster threads. Ensure the self-adjuster moves freely and that the star wheel rotates easily. Always inspect and repack wheel bearings and replace wheel bearing seals if they were removed during brake disassembly. Adjust the wheel bearings as described in the vehicle Workshop Manual. Never reuse disposable hardware, such as cotter keys, horseshoe clips etc. Brake System Diagnosis and Repair September, 2005 55
