Inspect brake discs. Discs are 1/4" thick when new, replace if thinner than .200 in. thick or if surfaces are
glazed or burnt. Inspect the flat ground surfaces of the cam plate and retainer plate for glazing, warpage or
other damage. Glazing can be removed by scraping carefully. Inspect flat spring. It should be bowed at

Replace all worn or damaged parts as needed. Reassemble all parts as shown. Be sure balls are secure
between cam plate and hub.
Install brake housing, making sure that ends of capscrews (item #17) go through notches in end of flat
springs and holes in the retainer plate. Secure brake housing and plate (item #12), if present, to end bearing
using capscrews (item #23). Tighten capscrews to 30-40 FT.LBS.
