6. Inside the brake yoke;
• A steel backing plate fits between the friction
pad and the actuator pins.
• The pins fit into holes in the brake yoke hous-
ing.
• The brake arm acts as a cam, pushing the pins
when it rotates.
• A small compression spring pushes the cam
arm away from the pins, helping to release the
brake.
7. With the brake yoke removed, the brake rotor floats
on a splined brake shaft. See Figure 5.69.
• The bypass linkage must be removed to take
the rotor off.
• The flat side goes in, the collar faces out.
• A second brake pad fits into a recess behind
the rotor.
8. Assembly notes:
• If any lubricant is used on the pins or between
the brake shaft and the rotor, apply it VERY
sparingly.
• Apply a small amount of thread locking com-
pound such as Loctite 242
TM
(blue) to the
threads of the brake yoke bolts.
• Tighten the brake yoke bolts to a torque of 80 to 120 in-lbs. (9 to 14 N-m).
9. Adjust and test the brakes after any work on brake system.
