SERVICE BRAKE (FULL AIR BRAKE)
BR02–54
(2)
Make sure the spring chamber of the removed actuator is fully
released (power spring caged) and the service brake push-rod is fully
retracted to zero stroke position (i.e., brake fully released).
(3)
Measure and record the "X" and "Y" dimensions.
"X" Dimension - The dimension from bottom of actuator to end of
push-rod. "Y" Dimension - The dimension from bottom of actuator to
center line of yoke pin.
NOTICE
If for some reason the spring chamber power spring cannot be caged
and fully released, then the "X" and "Y" dimensions will need to be
measured from another actuator of the exact type from the same vehi-
cle provided it is retracted to its zero stroke position (brake fully
released) and was operating correctly.
(4)
Before marking push-rod to be cut on a new unit, be sure the spring
chamber and push-rod are fully retracted to the zero position. (This
may be done with the manual caging bolt or by applying 90-100 psi air
pressure to the spring chamber air inlet port.)
(5)
Take measured "X" dimension from the removed unit and mark push-
rod of new unit from the bottom of the actuator.
(6)
Thread yoke jam nut past mark on push-rod. Align bottom edge of nut
with mark.
(7)
Use a sharp hack-saw and cut push-rod on the mark.
(8)
After cutting rod, thread jam nut off to clean up the thread.
(9)
Thread jam nut back onto the push-rod a sufficient length to allow
assembly of the yoke.
(10) Thread yoke onto the push-rod. Yoke from removed unit may be
reused provided yoke pin hole is not worn. Adjust yoke to the same
"Y" dimension as measured from the removed unit.
(11) Hold yoke to prevent it from turning and tighten locknut against yoke
25-35 Lbs.-Ft. torque.
TO INSTALL NEW UNIT ON VEHICLE: Refer to MGM Brakes Service
Manual for the model that is being installed.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SINGLE
(PIGGYBACK) SPRING BRAKES
The removal and installation of a single spring brake chamber (with-
out removal of the service brake chamber) can be made easier by
"locking off" the service chamber piston. To do this apply the service
brake by applying the driver's foot brake treadle valve and, while
applied, clamp vise-grip pliers on push-rod so that vice-grips abut
mounting bracket to prevent rod from retracting when air pressure is
released.
(1)
Determine manufacturer of the single spring brake to be removed
from the vehicle and, following that manufacturer's instructions
exactly, manually release the spring brake completely. (Instructions for
all MGM Brakes Model Series "TR", "TR-T" and single spring brakes
having removable release bolts are given in Section 2 on page BR02-
50 of this manual.) (Service Manuals for all other design series of
MGM Brakes single spring brakes are also available upon request to
MGM Brakes.)
(2)
Remove both air lines from the chamber.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to mark the air line from the inlet port marked "SPRING
BRAKE" for later re-installation reference.
