Question

Accepted Answer

The procedure requires the rear of the vehicle to be raised up and securely supported on jackstands. Remove the back wheel and release the handbrake. Next unscrew and remove the screw, which holds the drum to the hub and pull the drum off. Next detach the rear hub and clip retaining the brake hose to the trailing arm's bracket, the brake hose separates from the bracket. Loosen the brake pipe from the wheel cylinder and seal off the cylinder and the pipe to prevent the entry of dirt and the loss of any fluid. Take out the brake shoes and free the handbrake cable from the brake shoe. Remove the retaining bolts. Remove the backing plate from the stub axle. Take out the bolt that holds the handbrake cable to the trailing arm. Remove the nuts that hold the upper and lower control arms and withdraw the pivot bolts from the trailing arm. Detach the bolts that secure the control link to the trailing arm. Next, remove the pivot bolt from the front of the trailing arm while guiding the handbrake cable. The trailing arm can then be withdrawn from the vehicle. Examine the trailing arm bush for wear and degradation and renew it as necessary. Inspect the trailing arm for cracks and damage. Examine the pivot bolt for wear on the shaft or threads and renew as necessary. To install, reverse the removal procedure. As such, fit the trailing arm and pivot bolt but do not tighten the nut yet. Next, fit the upper and lower control arm pivot bolts and nuts but do not tighten yet. The brake backing plate must be installed, then the brake pipe connected to the wheel cylinder and securely tightened and the handbrake cable retaining bolt tightened. Attach the rear hub to the stub axle then assemble the brake drum and tighten the retaining screw securely. Remove air from the brakes hydraulic system and fit rear wheels. Lower the vehicle onto the ground and bounce the rear several times with the weight on the wheels, then tighten the nuts on the trailing arm pivot bolts to torque as specified. Have the rear wheel alignment checked and adjusted as necessary if a new trailing arm has been fitted. To renew bushes, take off the trailing arm and mark the installed position of the old bush in relation to the trailing arm and its installed depth. Using a tube or deep socket silly of a diameter for the bush to pass through support the trailing arm around the bush. Using a mandrel or tube press the bush from the trailing arm. The new trailing arm bush should be marked at the same location as the old bush. Align the matchmarks on the bush and trailing arm. Press the bush into the trailing arm until it is protruding on both sides as noted during removal. Only press on the circumference of the bush. The trailing arm bush should be installed as per removal to prevent wear of the new bush in the short term. Lastly, install the trailing arm.
