IMPORTANT: DO NOT hit wheel hub (18) with a ham- mer during removal or installation. Hammering may cause damage to the wheel motor (12 or 38).

5.Use a puller to remove the wheel hub (18) and brake drum (19). Remove the key (49) from the wheel motor shaft.

6.Remove brake extension springs (42) from brake shoes (17). Remove brake shoes from brake plate (44).

7.Remove cotter pin (27) from the clevis pin (31). Re- move clevis pin from the brake lever assembly (32). Separate brake lever assembly from the clevis (33).

8.Remove hex head screws (16) and lock nuts (13) holding the brake plate (44) and grass brake shield (15) to the brake bracket (25).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove brake lever assembly (32) from the brake plate (44)..

9.Remove brake plate (44), flat washers (14), and grass brake shield (15) from the brake bracket (25).

10.Remove rust from all parts with a wire brush prior to installation. Clean all parts. Inspect brake shoe contact surfaces of the brake drum for excessive wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts.

Installation

1.Secure flat washers (14), grass brake shield (15), and brake plate (44) to the brake bracket (25) with the hex head screws (16) and lock nuts (13). Tighten fasten- ers.

2.Connect brake lever assembly (32) to the clevis

(33). Install clevis pin (31) through the brake lever as- sembly and clevis. Install and lock cotter pin (27) into the clevis pin (31).

3.Install brake shoes (17) onto the brake plate (44). Install extension springs (42) into the holes on each end of the brake shoes. Springs should be installed in oppo- site directions of each other.

4.Mount key (49) in the wheel motor shaft, then install the wheel hub (18) and the brake drum (19) onto the wheel motor shaft.

5.Install the lock nut (40) onto the wheel motor shaft and tighten to torque of 250 to 400 ft±lb (34.6 to 55.3 kg±m).

6.Adjust and check brakes.

7.Install tire and wheel assembly (items 20 and 21) and secure the lug nuts (22) to the wheel hub studs (23). Tighten lug nuts evenly in a crossing pattern to a torque of 45 to 65 ft±lb (6.22 to 8.98 kg±m).
