Recommendations for calculating service brake shimming during axle repairs for the machines listed above. This document can help in determining the service brake gap when calculating the service brake shimming during axle repairs when used with the Telehandler axle service manual.

The brake clearance is adjusted by a pin screw with different length shoulders that hold the intermediate disc in place. These pin screws are painted to designate the brake gap distance.

Refer to Table 1 for colors and brake gap to be used in calculating shimming during axle repairs.

Note: For troubleshooting instructions on brake gap adjustments, refer to the appropriate axle service manual.
