Low Capacity Inertia Brake
Low Capacity Inertia Brake Wear Life Measurement
Transmission Removed
1.
Compress down the Low Capacity Inertia Brake
(LCIB) by hand.
2.
Using a shim or a feeler/thickness gauge, measure
the gap between the mounting stud nut/washer and
the front of the LCIB, caused when the LCIB is com-
pressed.
3.
Using calipers, measure the thickness of the feeler
gauge:
•
If the gap between mounting stud nut/washer
and front of LCIB is 0.140" or less, then there is
approximately 50% wear life remaining.
•
If the gap between mounting stud and front of
LCIB is 0.220" or greater, then LCIB should be
replaced soon.
Transmission in Chassis
1. Open inspection cover.
2. Through the inspection cover opening, lightly com-
press down the Low Capacity Inertia Brake (LCIB)
using an appropriate tool to avoid damaging the
LCIB.
3.
With your other hand, use a shim or a feeler gauge
to measure the gap between the mounting stud nut/
washer and the front of the LCIB, caused when the
LCIB is compressed.
4.
Using calipers, measure the thickness of the feeler
gauge:
•
If the gap between mounting stud nut/washer
and front of LCIB is 0.140" or less, then there is
approximately 50% wear life remaining.
•
If the gap between mounting stud and front of
LCIB is 0.220" or greater, then LCIB should be
replaced soon.
5.
After measurements have been taken, close inspec-
tion cover.
