The cam side half caliper houses 2 small steel bearing balls . These are installed to 2
bearing seats within the casting. These steel balls should be checked for any wear or
deformity. Also, check the inside of the brake cam where it comes into contact with
these steel ball bearings. If there is any wear noticed such as tracking grooves,
replace the brake cam. Any wear grooves in the cam will affect the way in which the
calipers return to the normal position when they are released by the driver. Usually
they will not return and tend to stick in the brake on position.
IMPORTANT
Replacing the Brake Pads (Mechanical)
1. Perform the servicing procedure, Me-
chanical Brake Caliper Removal.
Mechanical Brake Pad Inspection & Replacement
Inspect the condition of the brake pads. Replace the pads when:
•
they are worn to 1/8" or less in thickness
• the pads are worn unevenly (a sign that could relate to a warped or bent caliper)
• the pads are glazed over and poor braking/steering performance has been noted
• the brake pads are contaminated with oil or grease
When replacing worn or contaminated brake pads, replace both pads in the brake
caliper assembly even if both pads do not require replacing. Using one new and one
old brake pad in a caliper assembly may provide poor braking and steering
performance.
Quality ARGO replacement brake pads are available only in a set of 2.
2. Using a high speed drill remove the
heads of the rivets with a 3/16" drill bit.
