CASTLE NUT SIDE
6.6.(g).(i): Install a castle nut, tighten nut until the flat washer is FLUSH with the side of the Automatic Equalization arm. Loosen or tighten the nut no more than 1/8 of a turn, only enough to align the nearest cotter pin slot and hole. Install the cotter pin. This completes the assembly.
6.7: Shoe Clearance Adjustment
6.7.(a): The total available shoe clearance is determined by the active stroke of the actuator and the brake lever ratio. Distribution of the resulting clearance is determined by the setting of the active shoe clearance equalizing bolt (Fig. 2).
6.7.(b): Generally only one of the two equalizing bolts will be effective depending on the lever ratio arrangement and subject to the brake being installed horizontally or vertically.
6.7.(c): The “active” equalizing bolt will be evident after energizing the actuator.
6.7.(d): To equalize the brake shoe running clearance:
6.7.(d).(i):
6.7.(d).(ii): Adjust the active side equalizing bolt to limit the travel of that shoe; this moves the other shoe away from the wheel. Continue adjustment until wheel clearance is equal for both shoes.
6.7.(d).(iii): Set the
