Caliper Removal
5. Place the caliper system in an open area to work. Remove the (2) bolts holding the brake pads together with a
9/16” socket and wrench. The assembly will come apart (Figure-27).
6. Replace the old pads with brand new ones. They are directional and must be installed in the same orientation
as the old ones were removed. The outer pad “L” has bends on the metal, while the inner pad “M” is completely
flat (Figure-28).

11. Loop the cables through the engine compartment and reinstall clamps “P” from Figure-19, 20.
Note:
The 85”
cable should be clamped on the left side of the Mudd-Ox, and 110” on the right.
12. Repeat steps #3-8 for the brake caliper side
. Note:
The clevis pins should be installed from the top side so that
the cotter pins are on the bottom side of the calipers. This will provide the most room for installing the cotter
pins.
13. Tighten jam nuts “F” from Figure-6 all the way against the metal bracket with a 15/16” wrench. Then, ensure jam
nuts “E” are tight with a 15/16” wrench as well.
Note:
Do not tighten jam nuts “E” until “F” have been tightened.
There should be no threads from the cables on the rearmost section of the bracket, just as shown in Figure-6.
14. At this point the cables should be completely installed. However, they are unadjusted. See
Adjustment
.
Pad and Disc Replacement
If either the pad or disc is worn, it’s best to replace both components at the same time. This prevents chances of
uneven wear when mixing new and used parts.
1. The front lower operator seat should still be removed from

with the Mudd-Ox on flat ground.
2. Begin with either side of the Mudd-Ox. This example will utilize the left side.
3. See
Cable Replacement Part 1: Removal
step #7.
4. There are (4) total bolts holding the caliper system to the Mudd-Ox, (2) on top and (2) on bottom. Remove all
with a 9/16” socket (Figure-26).
7. To reassemble the caliper, first insert the bolts through the outer pad. Place the washers “N” over the bolts.
Then, the spring “O” and the sleeve “P” (Figure-29).
