NOTE:
Starting late 2000, BRADEN changed the steel
brake separator discs from a splined tooth design to
a lobed design. This required a change to the motor
support and brake cylinder and the addition of a spring
spacer. A winch with the lobed discs can be identified
by a machined groove on the outside diameter of the
motor support. When replacing steel brake discs, the
motor support or brake cylinder, care must be taken
to properly identify the correct parts. Splined discs,
and their mating motor support and brake cylinder will
remain available as spare parts.
New lobed steel brake separator plates and motor sup-
port. Note groove on outside diameter of motor support.
Although most illustrations in this section show splined
discs, all procedures are the same except where spe-
cifically noted.
1. After removing the motor support and brake clutch
assembly, continue brake cylinder disassembly by
removing the spacers, friction brake discs and steel
brake discs.
2. Remove the piston backup ring and the pressure
plate.
3. Remove the brake springs.
CLEAN AND INSPECT
1. Thoroughly clean and inspect all parts at this time.
Check brake piston sealing surfaces on brake cylin-
der and motor support. Be sure brake release port
is free of contamination.
2. Check oil seal and bearing surfaces on brake cylin-
der for damage or wear.
