Ref. figure 6-4
A. Carefully wipe dirt, grease, etc. from
cylinder, pressure plate, and portions
of piston extending beyond cylinder
face, and push piston back into
cylinder.
B. Slide pressure plate with new lining
over anchor bolts and install brake

equipment that is operated in an
amphibious
environment,
extremely wet climates, lubricate the
anchor
bolt
equivalent. For equipment used in a
non-amphibious
environment, lubricate the anchor bolt
with a dry film lubricant (silicon spray).
DO NOT USE GREASE OR OIL.
These
materials
enhance the wear of the anchor pins.
C. Install back plate attachment bolts and
washers in brake caliper.
D. Install insulator shims (typically used
with metallic lining) and spacers as
applicable.
E. Slide back plates between brake disc
and wheel/tire and install back plate
attachment bolts and washers into
back plates.
F. Torque brake assembly back plate tie
bolts to 60 inch/pounds. Two different
types of back plate tie bolts are used.

BRAKE LINING CONDITIONING
PROCEDURES
When new linings have been installed, it is
important to condition them properly to
obtain the service life designed into them.

off high spots and generate sufficient
heat to create a thin layer of glazed
material at the lining friction surface.
Normal brake usage should generate
enough heat to maintain the glaze
throughout the life of the lining.
Properly conditioned linings will provide
many hours of maintenance free service.
