LUBRICATION
All pivot points on the BD Caliper Brake use self-lubricated
high PV Sleeve Bearings.
For tension control applications where the disc is held at
elevated temperatures for extended periods, use a light
machine oil on Sleeve Bearings (Items 14, 15 and 30) (See
Figure 7).
The sliding spherical contact between the Adjustment Screw
(Item 8) and the spherical shaft end should be lubricated with
a molybdenum disulfide based grease (See Figure 7).

NOTE
When replacing Friction Facings, inspect the Friction
Disc for scoring or grooves. If necessary, the Friction
Disc may be turned. A total of 0.030'' [0.762 mm] may
be removed from each side of the Friction Disc before
it is necessary to replace the Friction Disc.

Grade 5, 3/8-16 x 9'' Threaded Rod into the back of the
Actuator; then, using a Flat Washer and Nut, tighten the
Nut to release the brake (See Figure 9).
NOTE
Two Belleville Disc Springs (Item 29) are compressed
between the Brake Arm (Item 2) and the Shoe (Item 3).
When the Shoe is removed, the Belleville Disc Springs
will fall free from the Brake Arms.
3.
Remove Detent Pins (Item 16) to release Friction Facings
(Item 4), Shoes (Item 3), and Belleville Disc Springs
(Item 29) from Brake Arms (Item 2) (See Figure 8).
4.
Remove Friction Facings (Item 4) from the Shoes (Item 3)
by removing the old Machine Screws (See Figure 8).
5.
Install new Friction Facings (Item 4) using new Machine
