cure with lock nuts, but do not fully tighten.
2. Assemble brake assembly as follows (Fig. 8):
A. Secure backing plate to the brake bracket with
four cap screws and lock washers.
B. Apply antiseize lubricant to cam shaft splines. In-
sert cam shaft through the backing plate.
C. Attach brake lever to the cam shaft. Make sure
