NOTICE

Use all cleaning solvents and solutions with care. Wear eye and ear
protection when using high-pressure cleaning equipment. Always use
cleaning solvents in a well-ventilated area. Always wear protective
clothing when using caustic cleaning solutions. Failure to follow the
precautions provided by the manufacturer equipment, and/or solvents,
can result in bodily injury.

Pressurized air can cause personal injury. When using pressurized air
for cleaning and drying parts, wear a protective face shield, protective
clothing, and protective shoes. The maximum air pressure must be
below 200 kPa (30psi).

• Before a part is inspected, clean the part thoroughly to remove all debris, paint, and oil.

• When lifting or moving parts to be cleaned, use proper lifting devices to provide for operator
safety, and to prevent part damage.

• During cleaning, do not damage machined surfaces.

• Use pressurized air to dry parts.

• If inspection is not done immediately after cleaning, put hydraulic oil on all machined surfaces
to prevent rust or corrosion. Carefully store the parts in a clean container.

Standard Caliper Disc Front Brakes

Caliper or dry disc type brakes are used on the 769B through the 775E Off-Highway Truck (OHT).
777 OHT's may be equipped with either standard caliper disc front brakes or oil cooled multi disc
front brakes. Refer to Table 5 for a summary of the OHT caliper lining part numbers. Refer to Table
3 for a summary of the OHT caliper disc part numbers.

Inspection Procedures

Inspect the following components during a planned component rebuild or other maintenance.

• Inspect brake periodically to insure that all boots (3) are tight and that there are no leaks. Refer
to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for the service intervals.

• Inspect for boot (3) deterioration.

• Replace all rubber sealing components (3, 5, 6) if the brake head assembly has had an extended
use. Otherwise replace damaged parts as needed.

• Inspect carrier and lining assemblies (1). Refer to the section “Lining Wear” in this manual.

• Clean torque plate (11) if corrosion is excessive or if seal grooves are damaged preventing
proper reassembly of brake.

• Inspect pistons (9) for minor scratches and nicks. If piston is nicked or scratched or if the
chrome plating is worn off, replace piston.

• Replace Torque pins (2) that are grooved or badly worn.

• Check the plug (7) and cover (10) for significant damage and replace as necessary.

Lining Wear

NOTICE

Failure to replace the lining when worn to limits will result in loss of
braking and possible catastrophic failure.

Linings must be replaced when they have worn more to 3.15 mm (0.124 inch) of lining material or
worn past the wear indicator groove depth (12). Evaluation of the wear indicator groove depth (12)
provides an easy on-machine inspection for caliper type brake linings. For all Off-Highway Truck
models, it is important to replace the linings when they are worn to the wear indicator groove.
Continued use of the linings past 3.15 mm (0.124 inch) of lining material or worn past the wear
indicator groove depth will result in accelerated lining and disc wear.

• When measuring the lining, use a micrometer. Measure the inboard and outboard lining
separately.

• Measure the linings at both ends because one end can wear more than the other.

• The lining resue criterion is summarized in Table 3. Table 4 provides a summary of the lining
rebuild kits.

NOTICE

Continued use of the disc beyond minimum thickness may result in loss
of braking and possible catastrophic failure.

In general, normal disc life has three sets of linings (the original and two replacements). To ensure
maximum disc life, it is important to follow the specifications in the “Lining Wear” section of this
guide. Continued use of the linings past the Do Not Use Again specifications will result in

accelerated disc wear. Inspect the disc (15) for damage and wear. Refer to Table 5 and replace the
disc (15) if it does not meet the minimum reuse thickness.

Brake Caliper Disc Grooves

Grooves in the disc faces are normal and do not affect lining life. Machining the face to remove the
grooves is not necessary and will reduce the life of the disc.

Brake Caliper Disc Ridges

Improper brake usage can sometimes generate enough heat to cause the brake disc material to
undergo plastic deformation, during at which time the surface material actually flows and piles up in
front of the lining. If the ridges formed during the process are more than 0.3 mm (0.012 inch) high,
Do Not Reuse the disc.

The criteria for replacement of OHT brake discs, plates, and dampers at the time of an unscheduled
repair or rebuild can vary. Each circumstance is unique, but inspection and replacement at these times
can lower the number of repeat failures and improve rebuild component reliability of brake packs.

Disc Composition and Cleaning

NOTICE

Do not use water, steam, water-based solutions, Freon, paint thinner,


or ketones to clean discs.

Note: Be sure that you mark the original orientation of the brake discs in the pack before you remove
the discs for inspection.

Illustration 14 g03697329

Illustration 16 g03697385
Used cellulose brake disc. Note the gray/black disc color.

Note: Disc color alone cannot be used as a determination of disc reusability.

Disc color alone cannot be used as a “Reuse/Do Not Reuse” criterion. When cleaning a disc, do not
allow the solvent to be absorbed into the disc. If solvent is allowed to absorb into the disc, seepage
may contaminate the braking system after the disc is reinstalled. Also, some solvents might
deteriorate the Cellulose composition.

Note: All friction discs can be cleaned with chlorinated solvents, diesel fuel, kerosene, and petroleum
distillates using the following precautions.

• Solvent temperatures are less than 38° C (100° F).

• Rinse the discs with solvent or apply solvent with a siphoning blowgun. Use of a disc washer is
also recommended. Refer to Illustration 24.

https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 29/3/2023

• Use towels or dry compressed air to dry the discs after washing.

• Hang the discs after drying. Do not stack.

Disc Visual Inspection / Reusability Criteria

The discs shown in Illustrations 18 and 19 are reusable if the discs meet the minimum acceptable
Percent Life Remaining thickness and groove depth dimensions.

Illustration 18 g03697392
Check minimum thickness and groove depth before reuse.

Illustration 19 g03697394
Check minimum thickness and groove depth before reuse.

Use Again

Handling Damage

Some brake disc damage may occur due to rough handling (contact with hard, sharp objects). The
discs may be reused if they meet the following criteria.

• Discs are not usually “soft” or easily damaged during normal handling.

• A maximum of six damaged areas are permitted per face.

• The maximum allowable area of handling damage on any face is 100 mm2 (0.16 inch2).

Cracks and Grooves

Any disc assembly that has a crack or deep grooves that stops a seal pick cannot be used again. Look
for teeth that have been broken or cracked. Inspect the friction surfaces for radial cracks or deep
grooves.

Bond Failure

Overheating of the friction faces, exposure to contaminated lube oil, or other incompatible materials
can weaken the bond between the friction material and steel core. A weakened bond is indicated
when material is easily and cleanly chipped off the core during normal handling.

Erosion

Disc erosion may result due to debris in the brake cooling oil and extended hours on the brake discs.
In addition, cavitation erosion may occur of air is present in the brake cooling oil.

Disc erosion usually begins that the edges of the material, reducing the available friction surface and
braking capability. Do Not Use Again if more than 10% of the disc surface is eroded.

Water Damage

Exposure of the brake discs to water and antifreeze as a result of cooler core failure, vandalism,
Improper cleaning, or accidental machine submersion will result in shortened service life. Discs
damaged by water or other contaminants will experience material swelling and decay of the bonding
adhesive. In addition, the friction material may easily come off during handling. Based on this,
always replace the disc exposed to water or other contaminants.

Illustration 26 g03697435
Do not use again because water contamination damage.

Do Not Use Again

The discs shown in Illustrations 24,25, and 26 have been damaged by contamination of the
lubricating oil with water. Normal brake operation produces friction material temperatures above the
boiling point of water, resulting in the rapid formation of steam in the lining.

The rapid, almost explosive formation of steam in the friction material causes the material to “flake
off”. The material that remains on the disc is also weakened.

Another indicator of water contamination is the overall “charred” appearance of the bonding adhesive
for the lining on the teeth.

Glazing

A surface becomes glazed from the heat generated during long periods of continuous braking or
insufficient brake cooling. The heat hardens the friction material, leaving a shiny appearance. These
material changes result in reduced braking capabilities. The reduced coefficient of friction resulting
from the glazing causes additional slippage and finally complete brake failure. The material changes
also reduce the adhesive bonding strength of the material and accelerate wear.

Glazing can be identified by a shiny appearance of the friction material. Glazing can cover the entire
surface, or may be in bands. The normal surface has a porous appearance. Glazing is not permitted.

Do Not Use Again

Overheating

High temperatures from insufficient oil cooling flow can over heat the friction material without
glazing.

The disc shown in Illustration 29 has been overheated. The charring of the bonding adhesives for the
lining on the teeth is typical of overheated discs. Discs worn to less than minimum groove depth

https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 29/3/2023
793C Off-Highway Truck ATY00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3516 Engi... Page 21 of 35

become more likely to overheat. Overheating tends to accelerate wear and erosion (“flaking”) of the
lining.

(D) Steel Core

Disc Replacement Guidelines

1. Measure thickness and groove depth with micrometers to determine “Percent Life Remaining”
for each disc. Refer to Table 6 or 7.

2. Measure lining wear on both sides of the disc

Note: The lining wear should be even side-to-side. The lining in one side of the disc should not
be less than 1/2 the thickness of the other side.

NOTICE

Maximum of 20% difference in life remaining between discs reused in


a brake pack.

793C Off-Highway Truck ATY00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3516 Engi... Page 23 of 35

3. Do Not Reuse a disc that has over 20% more wear than the other discs in a brake pack.

Examples:

◦ Do Not Reuse a disc that has 70% life remaining with a new disc that has 100% life
remaining.

◦ Do Not Reuse a combination of worn discs with 60%, 70%, and 90% life remaining.

4. Do Not Reuse a disc if more than 10% of the friction material has “flaked” off.

5. Do Not Reuse a disc if the friction material appears to be very easily chipped when using a
light prying force with the tip of a knife.

Note: The test presented in Step (5) must be applied with caution and within reason. If enough
force is applied to the knife, even a new brake disc can be chipped. Do not use this as the only
criteria to reject the use of a brake disc.

6. Do Not Reuse a disc if it has been damaged by contamination of water in the lubricating oil.

7. “Warped”, “glazed”, and/or “burnt” discs that exhibit signs of excessive temperature should be
replaced in all instances. Refer to the “Disc Visual Inspection / Reusability Criteria” in this
manual for additional information.

8. Inspect the disc teeth. Do not reuse discs with broken teeth. Do not reuse discs with a visible
wear step in the disc teeth. Refer to the section “Tooth Wear Guideline” in this manual. Refer
to Table 6 and 7 for minimum reuse dimensions.

Note: The reuse of worn brake discs, even those within specifications, can still cause the brake piston
to stroke beyond the limits of the seals when reassembled in a brake pack. Extreme caution must be
exercised when reusing brake discs.

Note: The reuse or replacement of only a selected number of worn or damaged brake discs may result
in uneven wear and unequal brake cooling flow (heat dissipation) across the reused brake discs.
Unequal brake cooling oil flow may occur between the disc and plate due to the different brake
cooling groove depths found in reused brake discs. The increase in brake temperature across each
individual brake disc can lead to brake disc glazing, resulting in higher loads to those brake discs that
were replaced at the time of rebuild. This can cause premature failure and/or shorter overall
component line.

Brake Dampers

All brake dampers should be replaced during a brake rebuild due to the shrinkage and deterioration of
the damper material.

Tooth Wear Guideline

Disc assemblies should be inspected for tooth wear. Some tooth wear is acceptable, but never reuse a
disc assembly that has obvious notches worn into the teeth.

Note: Be sure that you mark the original orientation of the brake discs in the pack before you remove
them for inspection.

(30) Brake hub oil groove

When reassembling used discs, install discs in the same orientation as originally positioned. The
disassembly and reassembly of worn discs orientated differently within the brake pack and running
on the brake hub can result in brake disc tooth damage. Brake disc teeth located over the brake hub
oil groove (30) will not wear the same as those located between the hub splines. Used brake discs
should be installed with the unworn teeth in the brake hub oil groove location (30) to avoid teeth
overloading and fracture. If the discs are not reinstalled in this orientation, the unworn disc teeth will

(28) Contact area of the Hub splines to the wheel hub splines, fretting is possible in this area.

The brake hub may experience fretting wear on the splines attaching the brake hub to the wheel.
Inspect the brake hub for fretting wear. Inspect the brake hub splines (28) to wheel hub splines for a
wear step using a seal pick. When passing the seal pick over the wear step is stopped, there is more
than 0.2 mm (0.008 inch) wear step. Typically, splines can be reused if less than 0.2 mm (0.008 inch)
wear step exists.

Measure the brake hub splines as discussed in the section “Measurement Procedures” presented in the
guidelines Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8225, "Reusability of Final Drive Splines Used on
785 - 797 Off Highway Trucks" and Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8759, "Reusability of Final
Drive Splines Used on 769 - 784 Off Highway Trucks."

Inspect the brake disc tooth to the hub spline mating area for a wear step. Brake disc to the hub wear
groove limit is 0.127 mm (0.005 inch) and should not stop a seal pick as it is crossed over the area.

Note: The wear step generated by the brake discs on the hub may hold the disc teeth during operation
and result in a broken disc tooth. The broken disc teeth may then result in collateral damage to the
brake pistons and the brake anchor.

Service Brake Piston, Anchor, and Housing Reuse

Brake pistons, anchors, and housings have seal grooves and sealing surfaces which all have common
reuse criteria.

Seal Groove Reusability

Seal groove integrity is essential to proper brake operation. Oil contamination, debris in the oil, and
broken disc teeth can damage service brake seal grooves. Careful inspection of the seal grooves on all
brake components is warranted. In order to reuse the component, a seal groove may be slightly
deformed but must not be cracked or interfere with the seal movement.

housing with a cracked seal groove or a seal groove that interferes with seal movement should not be
used again.

Illustration 47 g03697700

(35) Seal ring groove with excessive deformation due to a broken disc tooth. Reuse of this service
piston would result in improper seal function and potential catastrophic, premature service brake
failure.

Do Not Use Again

Seal Contact Surface Reusability

Brake piston, anchor, and housing seal contact surfaces may show slight wear and polishing due to
the mating seal traveling along the surface. The seal contact surface should not have wear or damage
that can be detected with a seal pick. Wear that can be detected by a seal pick is excessive and can
cause the seal to function improperly, which may result in loss of brake performance.

Minor wear and damage to sealing surfaces can be repaired and the part reused. Use a Grade F
flapper wheel or a Scotch Brite Pad. Do not remove any of the parent material.

More extensive wear will require a component replacement or salvage. Metal Spray Technologies can
be used to salvage service brake components. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF9236,
"Fundamentals of HVOF Spray for Reconditioning Components", Reuse and Salvage, SEBF9238,
"Fundamentals of Arc Spray for Reconditioning Components" and Reuse and Salvage Guidelines,
SEBF9240, "Fundamentals of Flame Spray for Reconditioning Components" for more information.
