Table 3, Caliper Type and Instruction Page Number

 

Front and/or Rear Caliper/CarriereBay Assembly Inspection and Installation – BendixeBay Axial Mounted Calipers

  1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL845 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been done. The base label is usually located on the passenger-side door, about 12 inches (30 cm) below the door latch. If a sticker is present for FL845, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the next step.
  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
 DANGER

 

When working on the vehicle, shut down the engine, set the parking brake, and chock the tires. Before working under the vehicle, always place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle cannot drop. Failure to follow these steps could result in serious personal injury or death.

  1. Raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
  2. Remove all of the wheel assemblies.

NOTE: In all steps that require a torque wrench, use a Snap On torque wrench ATECH4RS600, or an equivalent, with a center to handle length of 47 inches (119 cm).

  1. Set a torque wrench to 350 lbf·ft (475 N·m) and tighten the caliper mounting bolts. If they do not turn, go to step 13. If they turn, go to step 6. Due to limited caliper bolt access, it may be necessary to use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 referenced in tool letter 18TL18. If the tool is needed, use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 only and no other tools. See Fig. 1. for a 47 in (119 cm) long wrench. see Table 4. for torque specifications.

 WARNING

 

When replacing brake pads, shoes, rotors, or drums, always replace components as an axle set.

  • Always reline both sets of brakes on an axle at the same time.
  • Always replace both rotors/drums on an axle at the same time.
  • Always install the same type of linings/pads or drums/rotors on both axle ends of a single axle, and all four axle ends of a tandem axle, at the same time. Do not mix component types.

Failure to do so could cause uneven braking and loss of vehicle control, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

  1. Remove the retainer pin, cotter pin, and brake pad retainer. Inspect the brake pad hardware to ensure it is in good condition. If it is, reuse the brake pad hardware. If the brake pad hardware is not in good condition, replace brake pad sets on both ends of the axle.
  2. Remove the brake pads.
  3. Remove caliper bolts.

IMPORTANT: The caliper/carriereBay assemblies are left and right handed. Ensure that the correct assembly (left or right) is installed on each side of the vehicle.

  1. Align each caliper/carriereBay assembly with the rotor by pushing the caliper against the shelf on the torque plate, then install the caliper/carriereBay assembly using new caliper mounting bolts. See Fig. 2.
  2. Tighten the carriereBay mounting bolts in two steps as follows.
    • Start on one side of the caliper and tighten all three bolts 40±20 lbf·ft (54±27 N·m), beginning with the inner-most bolt and moving to the outer-most bolt. Then tighten the three bolts on the other side of the caliper 40±20 lbf·ft (54±27 N·m), beginning with the inner-most bolt and moving to the outermost bolt. See 3 for the left-front caliper and Fig. 4 for the right-front caliper.

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.

  1. Install the brake pads. Provided it is in good condition, use the brake pad hardware removed earlier.
  2. Back off the adjuster nut three clicks.
  3. Install the wheel assemblies.
  4. Raise the vehicle, remove the jack stands, then lower the vehicle.
  5. Charge the air system and check for leaks.

 

 WARNING

 

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.

  1. In a safe area, check for proper brake operation, as follows, before putting the vehicle in service.
    • Apply and release the brakes several times to check for air leaks and proper operation.
    • 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 indicate a lack of braking effort on those wheels.
  2. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL845, on a completion sticker(Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label to indicate this recall has been completed.

 

Front and/or Rear Caliper/CarriereBay Assembly Inspection and Installation – BendixeBay Radial Mounted Calipers

  1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL845 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been done. The base label is usually located on the passenger-side door, about 12 inches (30 cm) below the door latch. If a sticker is present for FL845, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the next step.
  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
 DANGER

 

When working on the vehicle, shut down the engine, set the parking brake, and chock the tires. Before working under the vehicle, always place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle cannot drop. Failure to follow these steps could result in serious personal injury or death.

  1. Raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
  2. Remove all of the wheel assemblies.

NOTE: In all steps that require a torque wrench, use a Snap On torque wrench ATECH4RS600, or an equivalent, with a center-to-handle length of 47 inches (119 cm).

  1. Set a torque wrench to 200 lbf·ft (271 N·m) and tighten the caliper mounting bolts. If they do not turn, go to step 13. If they turn, go to step 6.
 WARNING

 

When replacing brake pads, shoes, rotors, or drums, always replace components as an axle set.

  • Always reline both sets of brakes on an axle at the same time.
  • Always replace both rotors/drums on an axle at the same time.
  • Always install the same type of linings/pads or drums/rotors on both axle ends of a single axle, and all four axle ends of a tandem axle, at the same time. Do not mix component types.

Failure to do so could cause uneven braking and loss of vehicle control, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

  1. Remove the retainer pin, cotter pin, and brake pad retainer. Inspect the brake pad hardware to ensure it is in good condition. If it is, reuse the brake pad hardware. If the brake pad hardware is not in good condition, replace brake pad sets on both ends of the axle.

NOTE: A slide-ability test must be performed in the green zone (marked as ’A’), shown in Fig. 7, as the red zones are not within operational range.

  • Initially tighten all six bolts 45±5 lbf·ft (61±7 N·m). 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 assembly does not move, or requires more than 40 pounds of force to move, the caliper has a binding issue. Repeat the torque pattern again, if that does not resolve the binding issue, replace the caliper.
  • Perform a final tightening spec of 225±22.5 lbf·ft (305±31 N·m). 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 assembly does not move, or requires more than 40 pounds of force to move, the caliper has a binding issue. Repeat the torque pattern again, if that does not resolve the binding issue, replace the caliper.

  1. In a safe area, check for proper brake operation, as follows, before putting the vehicle in service.
    • Apply and release the brakes several times to check for air leaks and proper operation.
    • 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 indicate a lack of braking effort on those wheels.
  2. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL845, on a completion sticker(Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label to indicate this recall has been completed.

 

Bendix Axial Caliper/Carrier Assembly Inspection and Installation – XB, XC, EFX and HDX Model Vehicles

NOTE: XC motorhome chassis have ZF independent front axle. No work is needed on ZF front axle calipers.

  1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL845 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been completed. The base label is usually located on the front wall under the dash on RVs and over the drivers window on buses. If a sticker is present for FL845, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the next step.
  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
 DANGER

 

When working on the vehicle, shut down the engine, set the parking brake, and chock the tires. Before working under the vehicle, always place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle cannot drop. Failure to follow these steps could result in serious personal injury or death.

  1. Raise the vehicle and place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle cannot drop.
  2. Beginning with the right-front wheel, use a tire runout gauge to check the radial runout. See Fig. 12. Write down the measurement for later use to avoid vibration complaints.
  3. Mark the two studs closest to the valve stem as shown in Fig. 13, for proper wheel assembly location when reinstalling the wheel assembly on the hub.

  1. Remove the lug nuts, then remove the wheel assembly.

IMPORTANT: Before removing the brake pads, it is recommended to check the adjuster mechanism for proper operation.

NOTE: In all steps that require a torque wrench, use a Snap On torque wrench ATECH4RS600, or an equivalent, with a center to handle length of 47 inches (119 cm).

  1. Set a torque wrench to 350 lbf·ft (475 N·m) and tighten the caliper mounting bolts. If they do not turn, go to step 15. If they turn, go to step 8. Due to limited caliper bolt access, it may be necessary to use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 referenced in tool letter 18TL18. If the tool is needed, use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 only and no other tools. See Fig. 1. See Table 4 for torque specifications.
 WARNING

 

When replacing brake pads, shoes, rotors, or drums, always replace components as an axle set.

  • Always reline both sets of brakes on an axle at the same time.
  • Always replace both rotors/drums on an axle at the same time.
  • Always install the same type of linings/pads or drums/rotors on both axle ends of a single axle, and all four axle ends of a tandem axle, at the same time. Do not mix component types.

Failure to do so could cause uneven braking and loss of vehicle control, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

  1. Remove the retainer pin, cotter pin, and brake pad retainer. Inspect the brake pad hardware to ensure it is in good condition. If it is, reuse the brake pad hardware. If the brake pad hardware is not in good condition, replace brake pad sets on both ends of the axle.
  2. Remove the brake pads.
  3. Remove the caliper bolts and washers (if installed) and discard.

IMPORTANT: The caliper/carrier assemblies are left and right handed. Ensure that the correct assembly (left or right) is installed on each side of the vehicle.

  1. Align the caliper/carrier assembly with the rotor, pushing the caliper against the shelf on the torque plate,then install the caliper/carrier assembly using new caliper mounting bolts and washers. See Table 1 for parts information. See Fig. 2 for an example of the front caliper/carrier assembly.
  2. Tighten the M20 X 2.5 carrier mounting bolts as follows. See Fig. 3.
    • Start on one side of the caliper and tighten all three bolts 40±20 lbf·ft (54±27 N·m), beginning with the inner-most bolt and moving to the outer-most bolt. Then tighten the three bolts on the other side of the caliper 40±20 lbf·ft (54±27 N·m), beginning with the inner-most bolt and moving to the outermost bolt.
    • Repeat this process, increasing the torque value to 375±25 lbf·ft (508±34 N·m). If tool DDC DSNCHA018005 referenced in tool letter 18TL18 is used, see Table 5 for torque specifications.

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.

  1. Install the brake pads. Provided it is good condition, use the brake pad hardware removed earlier.
  2. Back off the adjuster nut three clicks.
  3. Using the two studs marked earlier as a guide, install the wheel assembly. When correctly installed, a linedrawn from the valve stem through the center of the wheel assembly should go between the two marked studs.
  4. Using a tire runout gauge, measure and record the radial runout of the tire and wheel assembly. Mark thehighest point on the tire and wheel assembly. Rotate the tire and wheel assembly until the high spot is at the 12 o’clock position (without allowing the assembly to turn). Loosen all lug nuts to let the assembly settle, then tighten the lug nuts in the proper sequence. See Group 40 of the applicable vehicle maintenance manual for the tightening sequence. The radial runout should be very close to what was recorded in step 3. If not, repeat this step. Record the “final” radial runout, note the wheel location, and include the information in the recall claim in OWL.
  5. Perform the steps above for each wheel location (as needed based on the population letter) until all wheel locations have been inspected and repaired if needed.
  6. Raise the vehicle, remove the jack stands, then lower the vehicle.
  7. Charge the air system and check for leaks.
 WARNING

 

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.

  1. In a safe area, check for proper brake operation, as follows, before putting the vehicle in service.
    • Apply and release the brakes several times to check for air leaks and proper operation.
    • 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 indicate a lack of braking effort on those wheels.
  2. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259), write the recall number, FL845, on a red completion sticker (Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label, indicating this work has been completed.
