Brake Removal
"
Anyone know how these brakes come apart?"
Take a look at the
BRAKES diagram below.
Note the cap screws (Key 19), nut (Key 21), lock washer (Key 22), stud (Key 23), and housing (Key 24).
Remove the two cap screws, then the nut and lock washer from the stud.
Note the brake drum (Key 1).
Grab the housing and brake drum with both hands and remove it from the main case.
Note the washer (Key 31), pinion (Key 32), washer (Key 33), nut (Key 34), and cotter pin (Key 35).
Remove the cotter pin, nut, washer, pinion, and washer.
Note the shoes (Key 5) and adjusting screw (Key 15).
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to remove spring tension on the shoes.
Locate a solid block of wood.
Note the brake shaft (Key 2)
While holding the brake drum on the edges, gently drop the brake shaft on the block of wood.
The housing will come loose and slide off freeing the brake drum and brake shaft.
Hope this helps.
