To replace the brake shoes, first raise and securely support the vehicle on jack stands, then remove the wheel(s) and the brake drum retainer clips. If the brake drum is difficult to remove, release the tension of the parking brake cable adjuster and, if necessary, detach rubber plugs from the backing plate to access the automatic adjustment lever. With the brake drum removed, back off the automatic brake adjuster. Proceed to remove the brake shoe retainer spring, washer, and pin, and unhook the adjuster cable from the adjuster lever. Remove the rear brake shoe return spring and the parking brake pin retainer clip. Continue by removing the forward brake shoe return spring and the forward brake shoe and automatic adjuster spring. Remove the automatic adjuster cable and guide, followed by the anchor plate and the parking brake strut and anti-rattle spring. Disengage the parking brake lever from the rear shoe and remove the shoe. Disconnect the parking brake lever from the parking brake cable. If reusing the brake shoes, clean the metal portions, and clean all other parts and the backing plate with new brake fluid brake system solvent or denatured alcohol, avoiding petroleum solvents or gasoline. Inspect the brake shoes for wear, replacing any unevenly worn or excessively worn ones. Check for burrs in the shoe contact areas of the backing plate and examine the adjuster for stripped threads. With the brake assembly dismantled to this point, inspect the wheel cylinder and brake drum for any issues. If necessary, overhaul the wheel cylinder or have the drums resurfaced if they don't meet the specifications. To install the brake shoes, lightly lubricate the contact surfaces on the brake backing plate and the anchor pin and cylinder push rods. Attach the parking brake lever to the rear shoe bracket and install the wave washer and retainer clip. Connect the brake lever to the parking brake cable and proceed to install the rear brake shoe and the brake shoe retainer pin, spring, and washer, along with the parking brake strut and anti-rattle spring. Lubricate the button and threads of the brake adjuster assembly and install it, ensuring it's adjusted to the shortest length. Install the adjuster spring into the front brake shoe and then install the front brake shoe and the adjuster spring using a special brake tool or locking pliers. Install the adjuster with the threaded end towards the front shoe, keeping the shoes lined up with the parking brake strut and wheel cylinder push rods. Install the retainer pin, spring, and washer on the front brake shoe. Continue with the installation of the anchor plate, adjuster lever spring, adjuster lever, and engage the forward end of the lever spring over the adjuster lever. Hook the adjuster cable assembly with the adjuster lever and place the looped end of the cable over the anchor pin, lubricating the cable guide groove with high-temperature brake grease and positioning the adjuster cable in the guide groove. Insert the cable guide pivot into the rear brake shoe return spring hole and hook the short end of the rear brake shoe return spring over the anchor pin, bending the ends of the springs until parallel. Also, bend the ends of the front brake shoe return spring until parallel. Check the operation of the self-adjusting mechanism and manually adjust the brakes, then complete the assembly by installing the wheels and lowering the vehicle. Before driving, check the brake operation, and if needed, adjust the brakes before road testing the vehicle.

To remove and install the front hub and bearing on a 44-BFD axle, begin by raising the vehicle and securely supporting it on jackstands, ensuring all four wheels are off the ground. Next, remove the front wheel and tire, then detach the caliper and hang it out of the way using a piece of wire. Take off the grease cap and drive hub snap-ring, and use Chrysler tool no. C-4170-A to remove the wheel bearing adjusting lock nut. After that, remove the retaining washer and wheel bearing adjusting nut, followed by the hub and brake disc, detaching the outer wheel bearing and retainer spring plate from the hub. Pry out the inner grease seal and remove the inner wheel bearing. Clean the bearings and hub with solvent, using a small brush while ensuring no bristles get stuck in the bearing rollers, and allow the parts to air dry. Inspect the bearings for cracks, wear, and damage, checking the bearing cups for pits and score marks, and replace any worn or damaged components. Also, inspect the brake disc for wear and damage. Lubricate the bearings with wheel bearing grease, ensuring it is worked completely into the bearings. Install the inner and outer bearings in the hub, followed by a new inner grease seal. Use Chrysler tool no. C-4170 to install the adjusting nut, tightening it to 50 ft-lbs to seat the bearings, then loosen and retighten it to 30 to 40 ft-lbs while turning the rotor, and back off the nut 135 to 150 degrees. Position the retaining washer by adjusting the nut until the pin enters the nearest hole in the washer, then install the outer lock nut and tighten it to 50 ft-lbs. Finally, install the spacer, drive hub, and snap-ring, apply RTV sealant to the sealing edge of the grease cap, and install it in the hub, completing the installation in reverse order of removal.
