7. Install two 3/8" - 16 NC forcing screws (5) in service brake piston (4). Tighten the forcing screws evenly to compress the guide springs.

8. Use needle nose pliers, and install cotter pin (7) in guides (6) to hold them in place when the forcing screws are removed.

9. Remove forcing screws (5) from the service brake piston.

10. Use a soft hammer to push service brake piston (4) down, and remove pins (8) from guides (6).

11. Fasten a hoist and two 3/8" - 16 NC forged eyebolts (9) to service brake piston (4). Remove the piston from the anchor. The weight of the service brake piston is 85 kg (187 lb).

12. Remove two seals (10) and two seals (11) from service brake piston (4).

13. Loosen nuts (12) one half to one turn at a time to release the compression spring tension.

14. Fasten a hoist and two 3/8" - 16 NC forged eyebolts to parking brake piston (14). Remove the parking brake piston and housing (13) from the brake assembly. The weight of the parking brake piston and housing is 112 kg (247 lb).

15. Remove nuts (12) from housing (13).

16. Put the parking brake piston and housing (13) in position on tooling (B), and separate the housing and parking brake piston (14).

17. Remove two seals (15) and two seals (16) from housing (13).

18. Remove seal (17) from the parking brake piston.

19. Use tool (C) to compress the guide spring. Remove cotter pin (7), guide (6) and the guide spring from the parking brake piston.

20. Remove two O-ring seals (18) from anchor (3).

NOTE: There are four springs (19) at location (X) which do not have inner springs. Put identification marks on the springs for correct installation during assembly.

21. Remove 46 springs (19) and 42 inner springs (20) from the anchor.

22. Remove damper assembly (21) from the ring.

23. Fasten a hoist to tub (23), and remove the hub. The weight of the hub is 77 kg (170 lb) for the rear service brake. The weight of the hub is 64 kg (141 lb) for the front service brake. Remove discs (24), plates (22) and the damper assembly from the brake assembly.


Typical Example

24. Fasten a hoist to the plate and ring assembly, and turn plate and ring assembly over. The weight of the plate and ring assembly is approximately 275 kg (600 lb). Remove bolts (26).

25. Fasten a hoist to plate (25) and remove the plate from the ring. The weight of the plate is approximately 125 kg (275 lb).
