10 Chuck installs the new gasket between the backing plate and axle flange.	11 Also clean the axle-retainer flange.	12 Next, the new Master Power 11-inch drum-brake assembly is positioned as shown.
13 Parking-brake cable transfer is easy. To disconnect the cable from the old brake, depress the retainer fingers. The cable attaches here after it penetrates the brake backing plate.	14 Next, install a new gasket...	...and reinstall the axle shaft.
15 Run the locknuts down to 30-40 lb-ft. Chuck snugs them here with an air impact.	16 You're going to need this indexing spacer/adaptor for proper drum alignment. This piece isn't included in the kit, but it's available from Master Power Brakes or most automotive supply stores. Don't operate your Mustang without it.	17 Finally, install the drums.
18 Once the brake line is installed, flush and bleed the brake system.
