Removal/Installation of Brake Disc and/or Hub
To gain access to the brake system, the cab and bellypan must
be completely removed. See
Chapter 1 for details.
To remove the brake disc and/or hub, the brake caliper must
first be rotated up and out of the way. To do this, the lower M8
bolt that holds the caliper in place must be removed from inside
the tunnel. The nut that holds this bolt in place is shown at the
right.
l
NOTE:
To change brake pads only, the caliper must be completely
detached from the chassis of the vehicle with the brake line
remaining secure.
Holding this nut with an open-end wrench, remove the bolt from
inside the tunnel with a socket and ratchet.
Loosen the other (upper) bolt holding the caliper tight to the
chassis as well, then swing the caliper up and clear of the disc.
Re-tighten the upper bolt and nut enough to hold the caliper in
this “swung up” position. Now completely clear from the brake
disc itself, the disc can be removed either with or without the
aluminum hub.
Brake Disc Only: Remove the five M6 x 16 button head bolts.
(Reference No. 10 in the exploded view at the beginning of this
chapter)
Brake Disc and Hub: Follow the procedure outlined on page 9-3
of
Chapter 9 – Secondary Transmission System that outlines
the removal of the Taper-Lock bushing and hub.
Cleaning and Inspection
Clean the brake parts with an all-purpose cleaner. Dry the parts
well with compressed air when finished.
t t
CAUTION
Do not clean the brake pads with the cleaner. Brake pads
must be replaced with new ones.
