See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.

WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after
the correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in
decreased braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only
DOT 5 brake fluid. See Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-31.
• Worn or damaged brake drums cannot be machined. Replace as necessary.
• Use only approved replacement brake drums designed for your vehicle. For MC012C-AS00
transaxles, use CCI P/N 102264701.

FRONT WHEEL BRAKE DRUM INSTALLATION

NOTE: Prior to installing the brake drum, inspect the brake lines, hoses, drums and brake cluster assem-
blies. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-1.
Clean any residual grease from the friction area of the brake drum prior to installation.
1. Clean the wheel bearings (5) (Figure 6-2, Page 6-7). See following NOTE.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air to dry wheel bearings after cleaning. Spinning the wheel bearings at
accelerated speeds, for purposes of drying, can damage bearings and bearing race.
2. Replace wheel bearings if they are damaged, pitted, or show signs of uneven wear areas. See following
NOTE.
NOTE: If the wheel bearings must be replaced, new bearing cups must be provided. New bearing cups are
only available as an assembled part of each wheel hub. Refer to the illustrated parts manual for
replacement part number of the wheel hub (Figure 6-2, Page 6-7).
3. Inspect the bearing cups (7) for wear or damage. If they are worn or pitted they must be replaced, along
with their respective wheel hub as an assembly.
4. Pack the wheel bearings (5) and bearing cups (7) with Chassis Lube (EP NLGI Grade 2). Force grease
between the rollers.
5. Lubricate spindle shaft with grease.
6. Install a new seal (6) and grease packed wheel bearing (5) into rear of hub (8) (Figure 6-2, Page 6-7).
7. Carefully apply grease around the seal (6) inner lip before installation. Do not allow grease to touch the
brake shoe linings nor the brake shoe surface of the drum hub.
8. Place the brake drum hub (8) onto the spindle and brake cluster assembly.
