Summary
BENDIX
REAR BRAKE CALIPERS
2.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
3.
Inspect the rear disc brake calipers for proper installation. Correctly installed calipers will have the fixed pin
positioned at the bottom of the caliper. See Fig. 1.
If the calipers are not installed correctly, go to the step 4.
If the calipers are installed correctly, no further work is needed. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259).
Write the campaign number, FL705, on a blank red completion sticker (Form WAR260), to indicate the work has
been completed, and attach it to the base label.

4.
On each axle end, inspect the spring and caliper for evidence of contact. See Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 4.
If there is no evidence of contact between the caliper and spring, go to" Caliper Orientation Procedure" on
page 9.
If there is evidence of contact between a caliper and the spring, submit an OWL Recall pre-approval. Describe
the damage and attach a photo(s) showing caliper to spring contact.
If approved, proceed with "Caliper Replacement Proceedure" on page 12.
If denied, proceed with "Caliper Orientation Procedure" on page 9.

Caliper Orientation Procedure
1.
Drain all the air pressure from the air brake system.
2.
Raise the back of the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
3.
Remove the wheels.
AwARNING
When work is being done on the spring chamber, carefully follow the service instructions of the chamber
manufacturer. The sudden release of a compressed spring can cause serious personal injury or death.
4.
Cage the rear brake chambers so that the springs cannot actuate during disassembly.
5.
Disconnect the supply and return air lines from the brake chamber.
6.
Back off the manual brake adjuster 1/4 turn and remove the brake caliper assembly.

7.
Remove the brake pads.
NOTE: The brake assemblies are left and right handed.
8.
Switch the brake caliper assemblies from one side of the vehicle to the other. Hand tighten the bolts.
9.
Slide the caliper inboard and outboard. If the caliper does not slide with the mounting bolts loose, replace the
brake caliper assembly. Follow the procedure in "Caliper Replacement" on page 12. Reference PartsPro to find
the necessary part numbers.
If the caliper slides freely continue with the procedure.
10. Align each caliper with the rotor by pushing the fixed pin side of the caliper against the shelf on the torque plate.
See Fig. 5.
NOTE: The tightening pattern will always start on the short (floating) pin side, with the bolt that passes
through the sheer sleeve.
11. Tighten the carrier mounting bolts in two steps, using the pattern shown in Fig. 5. Initially tighten all six bolts
40 to 50 lbf-ft (54 to 68 N·m). Perform the final torque spec of 180 to 200 lbf-ft (244 to 271 N·m).

B. Alignment Shoulder
Fig. 5, Tightening Pattern
12. Slide the caliper inboard and outboard, through the center of the chamber or brake. The caliper must have a
minimum of 20 mm of travel. If the brake caliper assembly does not move, or requires more than 40 pounds of
force to move, the caliper has a binding issue. Inspect the slide and replace the caliper as necessary. Follow
the procedure in "Caliper Replacement" on page 12. Use PartsPro to find the necessary part numbers.

A NOTICE
Do not use a motor driven tool to tighten the manual brake adjuster nut, or use excessive force to tighten
the nut. Doing so could damage the manual brake adjuster nut.
13. Install the brake pads.
13.1
Using a 0.04 7 inch (1.2 mm) feeler gauge, adjust the clearance. See the arrow in Fig. 6. Insert the feeler
gauge between the brake pad of the rim side and the brake caliper.

13.3
Tighten the manual brake adjuster nut until both brake pads bear on the brake disc and there is some
resistance on the feeler gauge.
Remove the feeler gauge.
14. Install the air lines on the brake chambers. Make certain the brake hoses are not twisted and do not rub against
other components.
15. Uncage the brake chambers.
16. Install the wheels. For instructions, refer to Group 40 of the vehicle's workshop manual.
17. Lower the vehicle.
18. Charge the air system and check for leaks.
AwARNING
Do not operate the vehicle until the brakes have been adjusted and checked for proper operation. To do so
could result in inadequate or no braking ability, which could cause personal injury or death, and property
damage.
19. In a safe area, check for proper brake operation, as follows, before you put the vehicle in service.
19.1
Apply and release the brakes several times to check for air leaks and proper operation.
19.2
19.3
Perform six low-speed stops to ensure proper parts replacement and full vehicle control.
Immediately after doing the above stops, check the rotor temperatures. Any rotors that are significantly
cooler than others show a lack of braking effort on those wheels.
20. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the campaign number, FL705, on a blank red completion
sticker (Form WAR260) to indicate the work has been completed and attach it to the base label.
