Note: Pressure plates should not be used if warped in excess of 0.010 inch (0.254

mm) flatness. Excessive warping can result in brake drag especially when

new disc and linings are installed.

(k) Align new lining segments on pressure plate/back plate and install rivets. Insure lining is

tight and movement free with no distortion of parts.

(2) Installation - Brake Linings

(a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies.

(b) Clean dirt, grease, etc. from cylinder, pressure plate, and portions of piston extending

beyond cylinder face. Push piston back into cylinder.

plate.

Note: Dry film lubricants such as silicone spray should be applied to anchor bolts

and torque plate bushing to assist sliding motion. Exercise care to insure

that linings do not become contaminated with fluid or lubricant. For best ser-

vice life, cylinders must slide freely in torque plate.

(d) Install back plate attachment bolts and washers in brake caliper.

(e) Slide back plates between brake disc and wheel/tire and install back plate attachment

bolts and washer into back plates.

F. Adjustment/Test - Conditioning Procedure for Organic Brake Linings.

This conditioning procedure will generate sufficient heat to create a thin layer of glazed material

at the lining friction surface. Normal brake usage should generate enough heat to maintain the

glaze throughout the life of the lining. Light brake usage can cause the glaze to wear off, result-

ing in reduced brake performance. In such cases, the lining may be conditioned again following

the instructions below.

(a) Taxi airplane for 1500 feet with engine at 1700 RPM applying brake pedal force as needed

to develop a 5-10 MPH taxi speed.

(b) Allow brakes to cool for 10-15 minutes.

pedal force. If so, conditioning is completed.

(d) If static run up cannot be held, repeat steps (a) through (c) as needed to successfully com-

plete test.
