16. Make an adjustment of the emergency brake. See EMERGENCY AND PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT in TESTING AND ADJUSTMENT in TESTING AND ADJUSTING for this procedure.
Disassemble Emergency And Parking Brake Chamber
start by:
a) remove emergency and parking brake chamber
1. Remove yoke (1) and two adjusting nuts (2) from the rod.
2. Remove two bolts (3) one on each side of chamber. Remove retaining ring (4) from the rubber boot.
3. Install the chamber in tooling (A). Put force down on the top of the chamber with thelpuller screw. Remove the remainder of bolts (5) around the base of the chamber.
The large spring inside of chamber is under 900 lb. (4000 N) force. |
4. Gradually release spring (6) as the puller screw is turned counterclockwise until all spring force is gone. Remove the chamber from tooling (A).
5. Remove base assembly (7), the spring and rod assembly (8) from cylinder (9).
6. Remove large and small springs (10) from the rod. Remove felt and rubber seals (11) from the bases of the rod. Inspect the two seals and make replacements if necessary.
7. Remove rubber boot (13) and O-ring seal (12) from the base assembly. Check the condition of the seal. If the seal has damage, use new parts for replacement.
Assemble Emergency And Parking Brake Chamber
1. Install a new O-ring seal (1) on base assembly. Install rubber boot (2) on base assembly.
2. Install a new rubber and felt seal (4) on base of the rod. Install small and large springs (3) on the rod.
3. Install base assembly (5), spring and rod assembly (6) into cylinder (7).
4. Put chamber into position in tooling (A) and put it under compression. Install all but two of the bolts (8). Remove chamber from tooling (A).
5. Install the other two bolts (10) on each side of chamber. Install retaining ring (9) on the rubber boot.
6. Install two adjusting nuts (12). Install yoke (11) on the rod.
