REMOVAL
AND
REPLACEMENT OF
THE
BRAKE
PLATE
ASSEMBLY
Jack up
the
axle and remove
the
wheel as in Section
H.1.
See
that
the
hand
brake
is
fully
released.
Remove
the
hub as In Section H.1.
If
it Is
required
to remove
the
brake plate assembly
to
the
bench for
attention.
the
lockheed
pipe should
be disconnected,
but
this is
not
recommended
unless
absolutely
necessary as it entails bleeding
the
brakes.
The brake plate assembly Is attached
to
the
axle
flange by
four
bolts with
the
nuts fitted on
the
Inner
side of
the
flange. Removal
of
the
nuts enables
the
bolts
to
be
withdrawn
and
the
brake plate assembly
to
be removed.
The
wheel hub is locked
to
the
axle half-shaft by
means
of
a
tapered
split collar in addition
to
the
driving
splines. It is
therefore
to
be expected
that
some
resistance
will be
evident
when
the
extractor
is used
to
free
the
hub
from
the
taper.
