Magnets
Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are
designed to provide the proper input force and friction characteristics. Your
magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally. As
indicated below, a straightedge should be used to check magnet condition. For
best results, the magnet should be at.
Even if wear is normal as indicated by your straightedge, the magnets should be
replaced if any part of the magnet coil has become visible through the friction
material facing of the magnet. It is also recommended that the drum armature
surface be refaced when replacing magnets (see section on Brake Drum
Inspection). Magnets should also be replaced in pairs - both sides of an axle.
Use only genuine Dexter replacement parts when replacing your magnets.
