Caliper Replacement Procedure

Step 1: Tire Removal

Warning

Personal safety equipment must be worn when working with equipment.

Lift up and support the vehicle axle to remove the tire / wheel assembly in accordance with the axle or vehicle recommendations.

1. On a flat even surface, block the wheels

2. Lift the axles and place on jack stands.

3. Release the parking brake.

4. Check for free rolling resistance of the tire / wheel assembly. If the resistance is higher than expected, tap the tire to remove the rest tension. If the wheel still does not rotate freely then further inspection is needed.

5. Remove the lug nuts.

6. Remove the tire / wheel assembly

 

Step 2: Brake Pad Removal

1. Using a T55 Torx, manually turn the reset shaft counterclockwise to de-adjust the brake so that the thrust plate fully retracts to its inner position.

2. An audible clicking sound will be felt and heard when de-adjusting. The stop of the fully retracted inner thrust plate position must be distinct, but do not exceed 15 ft-lbs. (20Nm) in torque or leave it tightened in this position.

3. Remove the pad retainer (B) by first pushing and holding down the spring bracket (A), while the spring bracket is held down, slide in and remove the pad retainer. A tool can be used to help slide in the pad retainer if unable to remove by hand.

4. Remove the two pad springs (C).

5. Remove the brake pads. Always remove the outer brake pad first (D), followed by the inner brake pad (E). a. The inner brake pad back plate locates on two holes which mate to the thrust plate, therefore the pad cannot be removed with the outer pad still being in place. Once the outer pad is removed, the caliper can be slid laterally to allow for the inner pad removal (E).

6. Remove the pad retainer spring bracket (A)

 

Step 3: Brake Chamber Removal

1. Carefully clean around the mating surfaces of the brake chamber (A) and the caliper (B) to ensure that dirt does not get into the mechanism area when removing the brake chamber.

2. If applicable, ensure that the spring brake chamber (F) is fully disengaged and mechanically secured in the released position.

3. Ensure that the brake chamber (A) is depressurized.

4. Mark and remove the hose connections of the service brake (C) and if applicable the parking brake (D).

5. Remove the two nuts (E) holding the brake chamber. Remove the brake chamber (A) from the caliper (B)

 

Step 4: Caliper Removal

1. Loosen bolts with long wrench, one at a time, ensuring top bolt is still supporting caliper.

2. Confirm the caliper is supported.

3. Remove the bolts completely.

 

Step 5: Caliper Installation

Never reuse bolts

1. Starting with top bolt, re-install the caliper onto the brake spider using proper bolts for the specific carrier design. Never reuse bolts and check for proper length.

Refer to the next page for bolt kit numbers. Too long of bolt can  bottom out on Rotor.

a. Pre-torque bolts using clocking numbers and recommended pre-torque setting for size of bolts. Refer to Table 1 on page 12.

b. Verify the pre-torque of the bolts a second time, and if necessary, re-tighten to recommended settings, Table 1, page 12

c. For final Torque specifications refer to Table1, page 12, Carrier bolt section. Care most be taken to match size of bolt and whether dry or lubricated for proper torque.

 

Bolt Kit Part Numbers

790-22060 Bolt Kit M20X55mm 790-22062 Bolt Kit M16X55mm 790-22063 Bolt Kit M20X60mm 790-22067 Bolt Kit M16X60mm

790-22068 Bolt Kit M16X60mm 790-22069 Bolt Kit M18X55mm

 

Tightening Torques

Brake chamber fixation nuts. 130 ft-lbs ± 22 ft-lbs (180 ± 30 Nm)

Carrier bolt(s).331 ft-lbs ± 22 ft-lbs (450 ± 30 Nm

 

Step 6: Chamber Installation

1. Ensure the brake chamber being installed is the correct one for the application and vehicle. If a spring brake chamber is being installed, ensure that the parking brake spring is caged in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Ensure the surface of the caliper that mates with the brake chamber is free from dirt, moisture and corrosion. Do the same check on the brake chambers mating face (A) and seal. Ensure the brake chamber seal is in the correct position and not damaged.

3. Apply a small amount of general-purpose grease in the ball cup of the brake chamber lever. Do not overfill the cup or let grease fall inside the brake.

4. Fit the new brake chamber (A) to the caliper (B) with nuts (E). Screw the nuts home first before torque tightening to ensure the brake chamber seats parallel.

5. Brake chamber fixation nut tightening torque is 130 ft-lbs. ± 15 ft-lbs. (180 ± 20 Nm). Follow the vehicle/axle manufacturers recommendations.

6. Fit the brake chamber hose connection of the service brake (C) and if applicable the parking brake (D). If fitting both hoses, ensure connections (C) and (D) are the correct way around.

7. Remove the ventilation drain plug that faces downwards from the service brake housing and if applicable, also from the spring brake housing.

8. If applicable, release the parking brake and disengage the spring brake chamber’s caging mechanism so that the spring is released. Minimum 90 psi (6 bar).

9. With the service brake engaged and, where applicable, with the parking brake released, check the brake chambers, hoses and connections for leaks or damage

 

Step 7: Pad Installation

1. Ensure the brake caliper is fully de-adjusted before installing new brake pads.

2. Check all contact surfaces on the carrier, caliper, and thrust plate are free from dirt and corrosion. a. Clean if necessary.

3. Check abutment area on carrier for deep grooves, cracks, or deformation.

a. Replace carrier if grooves exceed 3mm or has cracks and deformation.

4. Install the inner brake pad into the caliper. a. Note: The inner brake pad locates onto the thrust plate on two points.

5. Install the outer brake pad into the caliper. a. Note: Ensure the friction material faces the rotor.

6. Install the new spring bracket into the caliper and ensure it is seated in the correct position.

7. Install the new pad springs and the pad retainer. a. Note: The pad retainer is fitted by first locating the pad retainer in the housing end in the caliper aperture, then compressing the pad springs and locating the pad retainer slot over the caliper latch, and finally sliding the pad retainer under the caliper latch until the spring bracket pops into its locking position. If necessary, use a tool to help push the pad retainer into position.

8. Using a T55 Torx, manually adjust the brake by turning the reset shaft clockwise until the pads touch the rotor and you feel an end stop.

9. Then turn the reset shaft counterclockwise 2 clicks. a. This procedure sets the initial brake pad clearance.

10. Fit the reset shaft protective plug into the caliper, ensure it is correctly orientated and pushed fully into its correct sealing position.

Failure to do so may compromise the life of the brake.

 

Step 8:  Tire Installation

Mounting

IMPORTANT! Make sure that the brake hoses are in good condition, that they are layed/ducted and fastened correctly.

1. Check the free rolling resistance. The disc brake must not be obstructed in any way.

2. Mount the wheel.

IMPORTANT! If the disc brake is equipped with a parking brake actuator, ensure that the brake system is pressurized, and the spring brake chamber is fully engaged and mechanically secured in the active position. See the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.

IMPORTANT! Apply air to the parking brake. Make sure that there is sufficient air in the system (min. 6 bar).

 

Lowering of the vehicle axle

1. Activate the parking brake if fitted with a spring brake chamber.

2. Lift the axles so that the stands can be removed.

3. Carefully lower the vehicle to the ground.

4. Remove the wheel blocks

Chronology :

On Sept. 13, 2022 an OEM trailer manufacturer; a purchaser of axles from a Haldex axle customer, reported an on-road incident that appeared to involve the subject component. The incident appeared to involve the retaining clip installation described above.

On Sept. 15, 2022 a second incident was reported that appeared unrelated based on the initial information received. The axle manufacturer also provided photographs of apparent clip misalignment on un-installed units and reported that eight brake assemblies from incoming inventory appeared misaligned. Haldex immediately began investigating the issue and implemented containment actions in their manufacturing plant, including suspending brake shipments on Sept. 15, 2022.

On Sept. 19, 2022 Haldex began sending inspection teams to the trailer manufacturer locations and several trailer manufacturer customer locations to inspect assemblies. Haldex has inspected approximately 3800 units to date and confirmed 8 with misaligned brake spring retaining clips. Haldex also sent inspection teams to the axle manufacturing facility to inspect and contain any improperly assembled products. Haldex confirmed that even with a loose brake pad, overall braking function on the trailer was still effective.

On Sept. 21, 2022 Haldex confirmed that the second incident reported by the trailer manufacturer did in fact involve an improperly assembled brake retaining clip. This was confirmed by onsite inspection of the subject trailer showing that the brake retaining clip and retainer bar were missing. Haldex’s investigation indicated that even though overall trailer braking function was minimally impacted, a loose retainer bar or retaining clip could hit other vehicle components, and may result in the retaining clip or retainer bar hitting the roadway and creating a road hazard.

On Sept. 21, 2022, Haldex determined that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the improperly assembled clip could not be ruled out.
