(item 1) by grasping it firmly and pulling away from the

WHEEL BRAKE SERVICE AND
REPLACEMENT

To prevent dust inhala-
tion or eye injury, always
wear a dust mask and

eye protection whenever working on wheel brakes.
Do not use pressurized air to blow dust from brake
assemblies.

Replace both brake shoes on both wheels if one or
more shoes are worn below .06" (1.5 mm) thickness at
any point.

Do not use a commercial brake cleaner
unless the entire brake has been disas-

sembled.

Use care when handling the axles. The spline at the inboard end
is subject to damage if not protected. A damaged spline may
cause damage to the internal seal when reinstalled.

If brake shoes are worn below .06" (1.5 mm) thickness at any
point, replace all brake shoes. Brake shoes should be always
replaced in pairs and both wheel brake shoes replaced. Be sure
that there is no grease, oil, or any other contaminant on brake
shoes.
