KR> Cleveland brake questionJoe
Joe, Assuming you have already checked brake pad condition, check to ensure the caliper is floating free on the torque pins. If all is well there, drain and replace the 5606 hydraulic fluid. I have worked on 1 plane that needed to have the hydraulic changed in the brakes every 10 years or so. It would degrade and turn a to a dark brown. Brakes also didn't work very well until the fluid was replaced when it looked like that. -Jeff Scott -Original message- Subject: KR> Cleveland brake question Hey Guys, I have had a developing issue with the right brake. It has continually been degrading in its effectiveness. There is plenty of pressure at the pedal but is not working well. The left brake can just about spin me around if I hold it. The right brake I have to just about stand on to get a little right turn. There is no spongy or soft feeling and the fluids are full. I have not taken the wheel off yet to check the pads and i do have new pads that I can install. It just seems like it something else like maybe the caliper hanging up Any suggestions before I tear into it. I am working on the annual so I am ready for OSH. But I would like to be able to stay on the runway this year Joe Horton Coopersburg, PA ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

KR> ORD Head (seats)
I think I read the Revmaster seats are chrome-moly, or at least chrome, but really all the old seats needed was a little nickle added to the mixture. Funny how misunderstandings and rumors persist. Steve once told me the reason for adjusting valves was because the valves "stretch". Now, I know he must have known better than that, but he continued to pass misinformation like that along up until he died. As we now know, the hot valve would lift minute particles of material off of the valve seat with every contact, eventually causing the valve to settle into the seat further and further - which eventually caused some need to adjust stem/tappet clearance. Steve actually called this process "valve stretch".Solving that problem was accomplished a long time ago - adding nickle to the valve seat metal. ** I think those ORD heads, once Mark gets finished with his "air file" work will work just fine. Are the studs the same diameter? No matter, the old ones work fine. I like the Revmaster design though - adding another stud for better and more even pressure distribution. An added thought - I think Jeff brought up the matter of going back and re-torquing the head studs after having had the heads off. Enough time had gone by that I thought it would be a good idea to check mine, so I did, including taking the rocker assembly off to get at the one(s) underneath. Only one was very, very slightly not at the 18 ft. lbs. I'd left them at. So the old timer at the bug shop who I'd asked about that - he'd said "Naw, you don't need to." was correct. I didn't need to. ** At least we don't have to worry about the seats coming completely out like they do on some Jabiru models. I think Paul Hanson had the 3300 in his Tailwind.

I had another thought, if you have any rubber hose sections , check them for internal deterioration. They will collapse and clog the pathway. Adam Tippin A&P KR2S builder > > > Hey Guys, > I have had a developing issue with the right brake. It has continually been > degrading in its effectiveness.

To back up Jeff Scott's assessment. I work on commercial jets. The 5606 in our struts will turn brown and will suspend micro bubbles that won't seem squishy until you change the fluid. Remarkable difference. Adam Tippin A&P KR2S builder > If all is well there, drain and replace the 5606 hydraulic fluid.

Sounds like you have air in the right line somewhere. I would bleed it first and then check for stuck puck(s).

Joe, You can always build a trap door in the floor and use the Fred Flintstone braking system. Dang I crack myself up!!! But why stay on the runway? Remember when ATC at Oshkosh told me to exit into the grass and as soon as the mains left the asphalt they sank to the axle leaving my tail over the runway and they had to close the runway down till we got it out of the way. Experiences like that are always fun.
