XJ750 maxim. Rear brake shoe replacement and service manual

Hi. I'm looking to change the rear brake shoes on an XJ750 maxim and was told that somewhere on here i could most likely get the service manual in a pdf or some sort.

I am going to order that xjcd compilation to see what kind of info you guys have put together but was hoping to do the brakes asap.

Is there a manual or instructions for rear brake shoe replacement around?

 

Hopefully, your rear brake mechanism will look like this:



You'll want to loosen and remove the brake pedal rod adjusting nut, then the backing plate bolt stay (where the trailing arm hooks to the backing plate at bottom). Rotate the backing plate clockwise to remove the rod from the brake lever barrel. (I usually reinstall the barrel and nut back onto the brake pedal rod so I don't misplace them.) Next, remove the axle nut (opposite side of bike) then loosen the axle shaft pinch bolt. Slide the axle out. The backing plate should pull away and drop out with a bit of wiggling. If not, you may have to remove it and the wheel as a unit.

Once you have it apart you can remove the old shoes. If memory serves, hook the two new shoes together with the springs and roll them onto the backing plate together. It was a lot easier doing it that way then trying to pull the spring onto the other shoe. Don't forget to lube all your touch points, etc. (Like a typical brake job). Assembly is pretty much done in the reverse order. I don't have a book on your bike so I'm useless on torque specs, sorry.

Hope this helps and good luck!
