Brake system is hydraulically operated, utilizing a tandem master cylinder and Teves T 51/349 power brake unit. Front disc brakes consist of rotors attached to transmission output flanges, and two-piston calipers attached to transmission. Disc pads are equipped with a ceramic transmitter-type wear sensor. Transmitter is mounted on cross spring and will break when contact is made with pad plates, interrupting control circuit and causing indicator light on instrument panel to be activate. Rear brakes are leading-trailing shoe/drum type, using a dual piston wheel cylinder. Parking brake is cable actuated, operating secondary shoes of rear brake assemblies.
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE - Adjustments or readjustments should be carrier out on cold brakes. However, brakes must be warm when testing. Instrument panel trim must be removed to adjust master cylinder push rod free play.
MASTER CYLINDER PUSH ROD FREE PLAY
Check brake pedal free play by measuring distance between master cylinder push rod and master cylinder piston. This measurement should be .039" (1.0 mm), which would give free play of .20" (5.08 mm) at brake pedal. If necessary to adjust, loosen lock nut on push rod and turn push rod until correct clearance is obtained. Tighten lock nut and again measure pedal free play at brake pedal.
FRONT DISC BRAKES
Front disc brakes are self-adjusting, therefore, no adjustment in service is required.
REAR DRUM BRAKES
Raise and support rear of vehicle release parking brake. Using a 17 mm wrench, tighten eccentric adjusters until wheels can no longer be turned by hand. Loosen eccentric adjusters until wheels are just free to turn.
PARKING BRAKE
Raise and support rear of vehicle and adjust rear brakes. Lift parking brake lever until it engages third ratchet stop. Adjust nut at equalizer until rear wheels are just free to turn. When parking brake lever is pulled up one additional notch (to fourth ratchet stop), rear wheels should be locked.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING
Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and maintain level throughout bleeding operation. Attach a hose to bleeder screw, and immerse opposite end in a container partially full of brake fluid. Open bleeder screw approximately one-half turn, depress brake pedal, close bleeder screw, and slowly return pedal. Continu operation until air bubbles are no longer seen in discharge fluid. Bleeding sequence is left-rear, right-rear, right-front, left-front.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
