7.2. Insert a 1/2 inch x 5/8 inch cold chisel (1) under the head (2) of each pin and shear them off as illustrated
(Figure 6-2, Page 6-2)
. This will release the shoes from the backing plate, allowing them to pivot away
from the inside of the brake drum (3), which should then allow the brake drum to be pulled free. After
completing step 8, skip step 9.
NOTE:
Although step 8 allows easier access to the brake shoes, it is not imperative to do so in order to remove
the brake shoes.
8.

8.1. Using 90° snap ring pliers (CCI P/N 1012560), remove the axle retaining ring (1)
(Figure 6-3, Page 6-2)
.
8.2. Pull the axle shaft (2) from the axle tube
(Figure 6-3, Page 6-2)
