thoroughly.
*NOTE*
The pistons are equipped
with a friction spring (drag

L. Inspect brake cylinder bolts for
cracks, damaged threads, and self-
locking feature. Replace bolts that
are cracked, bent or have damaged
threads.

chipping, and surface deterioration.
Linings should be replaced when
worn to a thickness of 0.100 inch
(see Fig. 6-3).

The
minimum
wear
replacement of metallic linings is 0.100
inch.
REMOVAL OF BRAKE LININGS FROM
CALIPERS
A. Remove backing plate attaching
bolts and washers, and remove back
plates and insulator shim.
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.
