If during operation there are leaks of brake fluid on the brake drum and the inner side of the wheel, or the pistons in the cylinder are jammed, replace the slave cylinder.

1. Engage first gear and place chocks under the front wheels.

5. Remove the brake pads (see "Replacing the rear wheel brake pads").
