Park Brake Hardware Inspection





1. Visually inspect the park brake lever (4) and the lever pivot pin for the following conditions:
^ The lever being bent or broken at any point - particularly at the cable attachment
^ A seized or binding condition at lever pivot pin
^ A broken lever pivot pin

Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions.


2. If any of the conditions listed were found, the park brake lever and brake shoe assembly requires replacement.

Important: The brake shoe and park brake lever are not serviced separately. If either component requires replacement, they must be replaced as an assembly.
