I'm trying to replace the brakes on an 8011. I have the axle out and though the brake disk would just slip off the end of the axle but that's not working. What's the secret to getting it off?
This is a job that I wil have to tackle on my 8011 soon so I am real interested to hear your experience.
In the workshop manual I have it says to "remove the outer brake disk with facing" - (it doesn't give any guidance on how to do this though) and to then unscrew the adjusting nuts from the disk brake tie rod and remove the disk brake.
From the diagram there appear to be 3 brake disks and 4 brake linings. I'm not sure but it would appear that the innermost brakes are for the handbrake and the outermost brakes(nearest wheel) are the footbrake.
Why there are some many disks and linings I really do not know. Car disk brakes are really simple in comparision.
Maybe Crystalman or William might have done this and could give us guidance on what to do.
Well as it turned out it was just a matter of the brake disk being extremely frozen up on the shaft. After a couple hours of prying it finally came loose. Other than that it was a simple process.
