1800 SRM 1038 Repair
Brake Housing
CAUTION
Do not exceed a 3 mm (0.118 in.) diameter bead
of silicone gasket material. Too much gasket
material blocks the passages and damages the
components.
1. Apply a 3.0 mm (0.118 in.) diameter continuous
bead of silicone gasket material on the mounting
surface of the brake housing. The bead must go
around each capscrew hole and port. Flatten or
smear the bead of silicone around the ports. Be
careful not to get silicone into the ports or brake
housing bore. See Figure 33.

2. Connect a lifting device to the brake housing so
that the bores for the bleeder screw and the inlet
fitting in the housing are aligned with the correct
holes in the cover.
3. Install two studs in the brake housing. The studs
are installed opposite each other. Make the stud
by removing the head of a housing-to-cover cap-
screw. Cut a flat-bladed screwdriver slot in the
end of the stud without the threads. The studs
help install the housing correctly on to the cover.
4. Lift the housing on to the cover so that the studs
go through the holes in the cover. Verify the bores
for the bleeder screw and the inlet fitting are
aligned with the holes in the cover. Push and
hold the brake housing against the cover. See
Figure 34.
