Lubricating
WARNING
Remove all grease or oil from the camshaft head,
rollers and brake linings. Always replace linings
contaminated with grease or oil, which can in-
crease stopping distances, causing component
damage and serious personal injury.
For Q and P series Meritor brakes, lube the cam an-
chor and cam roller pins when the brake is disas-
sembled, or every six months, with Meritor specifica-
tion grease 0-617-A or 0-617-B. See
Fig. 12 for roller
and anchor pin lubrication points.
