Remove the brake shoe assembly and all dirt and foreign material from around the wheel cylinder. Using a flare-nut wrench, unscrew the brake line fitting from the wheel cylinder, being careful not to pull the line away from the cylinder. Remove the wheel cylinder mounting bolts and detach the cylinder from the brake backing plate. To install, place the wheel cylinder in position and connect the brake line fitting, being careful not to cross-thread it. Install the mounting bolts and tighten them to the torque specifications, then tighten the brake line fitting securely. Install and adjust the brake shoes, bleed the brakes, and confirm that the brakes are fully operational before resuming normal driving.
