• The heavy actuator spring connects to the top
hole on the brake arm.
• The light return spring draws the brake arm to
the OFF position.

castle nut to adjust the brakes. Use a 9/16"
wrench to set a .015" (.381mm) gap.

per: to replace the pads, or to free stuck parts.

6. Inside the brake yoke;
• A steel backing plate fits between the friction pad
and the actuator pins.
• The pins fit into holes in the brake yoke housing.
• The brake arm acts as a cam, pushing the pins
when it rotates.
• A small compression spring pushes the cam arm
away from the pins, helping to release the brake.
