36-2 PARKING BRAKE – Service Specifications / Lubricants / Special Tools

The parking brake is designed as a drum-in-disc brake acting on the rear wheel. This brake is a little
different in construction between EVOLUTION-IV and EVOLUTION-V but much alike in the service procedure
of the parking brake section. In this group, therefore, the description is made only for EVOLUTION-IV.
