Anchor Pins
Anchor pins provide a point where shoes can be secured
to backing plate or spider and also permit positioning
shoe in respect to drum.
Anchor pins are designed to withstand all braking force
of slowing or stopping the vehicle.
Anchor pins which are secured to the backing plate with
a lock washer and nut are replaced by using two
wrenches; one wrench is positioned on the nut while the
second wrench is positioned over the flats on threaded
area on anchor pin. Refer to TORQUE CHART for
specified torque value.
If fixed anchor pins (Fig. 18) become worn, the complete
spider replacement will be necessary.
