L. Inspect brake cylinder bolts for cracks,
damaged threads, and self-locking
feature. Replace bolts that are
cracked, bent or have damaged
threads.
M. Inspect brake linings for cracks, edge
chipping, and surface deterioration.

B. Carefully slide brake caliper out of
torque plate bushing.
C. Slide pressure plate assembly (lining
carrier) off anchor bolts.

REPLACEMENT OF ORGANIC LININGS

Ref. figure 6-4
Old organic linings may be removed by
using a small drift pin or carefully drilling
out the rivets with a 1/8-inch diameter drill.
Use care to prevent elongating the rivet
holes. Deburr the surface adjacent to the
lining to allow lining to set flush.
A. Clean pressure plate and back plate
surfaces of dirt, grease, etc. before
installing new linings.
B. Inspect pressure plate and back plate
for excessive corrosion, visible
damage, or excessive warping.
Straighten pressure plate too less than
0.010 inch (0.254mm) flatness.
C. Align new factory authorized
replacement lining segments on
pressure plate/back plates and install
P/N 105-0200 rivets, using Cleveland's
rivet set, P/N 199-1, or appropriate
riveting tool.
D. Check to be sure lining is tight and
movement free with no distortion of
parts.
E. With tubular rivets, splits may result
from the clinching operation. Refer to
rivet sketch (figure 6-4) for acceptance
criteria.
