claim (normal wear and tear is not covered by warranty).

Inspect the general condition of the parking brakes. 1 Look for evidence of
brake drag. This may be evident through excessive shoe lining or . drum
wear. There may also be evidence of heat build-up on the shoes, drums or
other internal components.

retaining nuts from the back plates, and pulling on the cables. The cables should not detach
from the brake.
16 . Ensure the E-clips are installed to the outer brake cable ends.

Install and Adjust
