Removing the Steering Brake Pads (Knott Calipers)
Avengers Manufactured From Serial No. 21245
Figure 3
Brake pads are easily replaced by removing
the 2 cotter pins securing them within the
brake caliper assembly and pulling each
pad up and out of the caliper. See Figure 3.
Pistons have to be pushed back in rst, to
allow clearance for the new pads. Slip the
new pads into the caliper and install 2 new
cotter pins bending the ends over to secure
the pads in position. Pump the steering handle
bar a few times to the left and to the right to
build up proper pressure and to locate the
pads in the caliper assembly.
Installing Steering Brake Pads (Knott Calipers) Vehicles From Serial No. 21245
NOTE
When replacing brake pads, always use new cotter pins.
CAUTION
When replacing worn or contaminated pads, replace both pads in the brake caliper
assembly even if both pads do not require replacing. Using one new and one old
brake pad in a caliper assembly may provide poor braking/steering performance.
1. Slip the new pads into the caliper. Install and bend the cotter pins to secure the new
pads in place. Photo 3
NOTE
Before installing the pads into the caliper, make sure that the brake caliper pistons are
pushed back into the caliper housing as far as possible. This will ensure that the new pads
can be spread far enough apart from each other to accommodate the thickness of the brake
disc when the caliper is slipped back into position and remounted to the transmission.
