 |
Personal injury can result from air pressure against the piston. The piston can come out of the housing assembly with force when air pressure is applied. To prevent possible personal injury, the piston must be retained in the housing assembly when applying air pressure. |
 |
- Remove seal (7) and seal (8) from the housing.

Installation Procedure
Note: When brake service is required, replace all friction discs, all piston seals, and all reaction springs. Inspect the reaction plates for wear. Replace the reaction plates, as needed. Refer to the Service Manual module Specifications, "Brake and Planetary" for more information on inspecting the brake components.
- Install seal (7) and seal (8) in the center housing.
Note: Coat the seals with petroleum jelly. Coat the bore with petroleum jelly before installing the brake piston.

Typical Example | |
- Install piston (6) in the center housing.
Note: Install the piston into the center housing without twisting or binding the piston in order to prevent damage to the seals.

- Install reaction plate (5) .
| | |
| Illustration 8 | g00604914 |
- Install sun gear (3) .
| | |
| Illustration 9 | g00604909 |
- Lubricate friction disc (4) and install friction disc (4) .
Note: Lubricate the friction disc by immersing the friction disc in 30W power train oil.
- Install springs (2) .
- Install reaction plate (1) .
Note: Test the brake pistons for leaks. Apply 700 ± 150 kPa (100 ± 20 psi) of pressure. The piston must not lose more than 7 kPa (1 psi) of pressure in one minute.
