I’m replacing the rear right parking brake cable on 2014 Mule 610. I’m having a tough time getting the wheel hub back on. I’ll try to figure out what you were adjusting at 14:02 and I should be good. Although I kind of wish you moved the camera down for some detail, still extremely helpful video. I saw that cam but the teeth on it are so fine I was concerned that I’d damage them. Thank you for the video!
Just adjust that brake shoe adjuster loose to get hub back on..especially, after a new set of brake shoes..once hub is on spin the hub and keep adjusting the brake adjuster until the hub is hard to turn and then back off the adjustment so the hub spins free..but, still is close to touching. That will be the best adjustment. Keith 2guys how2
Finally got it after studying your video. My adjuster would not budge the way yours did. I had to pry the larger “gear” away to release the pressure. As a result I couldn’t do the fine-tuning as you’re describing. I pushed it all the way in and then backed it out a little bit, hoping for the best. Everything is back together and brakes feel just as they did before the repair. Thanks again! I did a little video and I’ll try to post soon
I am in the process of replacing the parking brake cables on a KAF300B2 mule. Mine were missing. They look to be the same as the 550 mule you worked on to free up the brake cables. My question is what holds the brake cable into the rear plate of the brake assembly. None of the part diagrams I can find show anything to hold the cable to the back plate. There are groves in the cable assembly that looks like some sort of clip is used. I have them working, I just stuck them in the hole and used plastic ties to keep them in place. Seems kind of lame to me.
If I remember they are a clip...you can go to partszulla online and see if they have a good enough diagram...the usually do. Just type in rear brake diagram Kawasaki mule year model partzilla. At least get the part number and find it somewhere for a good price..ebay, etc. Keith 2guys how2
Good info on the diesel as a lubricant. I didn't know PB Blaster ate away plastic, thanks for the tips! Just a suggestion for your videos. Unless you are playing a timelapse or an intro/outro, mute the music. Multiple sources of audio are very distracting while focusing.
I have an kawasaki mule 610 xc 2015 with 200 hrs. pretends to run out of gas about every day wont crank till next day then does it again, rep.fuel pump carb and gas can you help?
Does it not turn over at all, when you hit the key with the brake pressed down ? Does it just shut off while driving and not start again...but, motor turns over, with no start...? Keith 2guys how2

I'm not sure off hand. It's very possible, but, if you get the brake part numbers..you can then be specific on what models used the same parts. That's what I do. Get the numbers and most likely you can cross reference and get the parts from other units, too. Keith 2guys how2
I took my drum off my kawasaki mule to replace the axle boot. But now the drum won't go back on. It goes on the shaft teeth about 1/4" then stops. As if something is stopping it from going all the way on. Its not the breaks touching the drum. I think it has something to due with the teeth on the axle shaft. What is weird, i tried putting the drum on backwards and it goes on smoothly until the lug nut bolts touch the breaks. But when I try put it on the correct way, it doesn't go on . Any idea?
I would check the the brakes, again and also check the brake hardware..the. rakes are simple, but, easy to get confused and put something back incorrect. I would take the other tire off..gently, remove the drum ..and take pictures..match the pictures to the way you have the brake hardware, adjustments, etc..I could be that simple, something is in the way or needs to be slightly pushed over a little..then adjust the shoes to touch the drum..as I did.

How’d you get it back on? I can’t get my hub back on. Pretty sure it’s hitting the shoes but I can’t get them to retract. Any help would be appreciated! It’s a 2014 mule 610 model kaf400a

Would you happen to know if this e-brake setup would be the same or similar to my 4010 Mule? My e-brake isn't working either.
