hey guys im rebuilding my irs and im having some issues with assembling the parking brakes and the wishbone washers
1. what is the right method of assembling the parking brakes on the rear rotor ?
2.what is the right order of putting all the washers on the wishbone ?

 

You need to invest in a ROM, they are available on CD from JDHT.

Assembling the rear shims is a difficult job and I did it so long ago I can not remember how they go in.

 

Are you talking about the lower wishbone inner fulcrums, attached to the diff?

 

yes

No. 11 is the bearing, there are two in each eye, put these in first and slather with grease.
Then put in no. 10, the tube, which will stick out slightly each end of the eye.
Then assemble, concentrically over the sticking out end of the tube, each side of the eye: 12, 13 and 14. 12 is the inner solid piece, then 13 is the rubber grease seal, then 14 is the solid outer that goes round the outside of it.
Then 15 is the outside thrust washer, which goes against the assembled 12, 13 and 14, holding them in place, again one each side of the eye.
The tube 3, must go between the inner 15 each side to hold the parts in place between the two eyes of the wishbone.
The difficulty with the reassembly is getting it all in place and getting the fulcrum rod through, without all the individual components falling out or becoming misplaced. You really need two people, one to tap in the fulcrum rod, while the other sort of holds each bit in place as the rod is driven through each eye.
Finally, before you start, make quite sure that the bolts 7 and 8 are really tight and that any shims are still in there. If you find a loose bolt and no shims behind it, then it means you have to realign that side. Post again if this is the case.

 

thanks alot
