Thanks for the video. I'll be replacing the brake linings on a 172 as soon as the parts arrive and this has been a good refresher since doing it last at A&P school (I normally work avionics only at my job). I wouldn't be too sure about 25 in-lbs (did you mean 75 by any chance?) though. Cleveland's Technician Service Guide specifies 75 - 80 in-lbs dry for the 30-63A brake assembly, for example (used in early 172s). Other than that, great video!
Joanne: On the brake pads there is a indentation where the head of the rivet goes, push the rivet through this hole, through the backing plate and then round over the rivet with the proper tool. When you remove the old pad from the backing plate look for the outline of the brake pad, if you don't see one, make a mark on the side where the pad goes. Thanks for watching the video, hope to hear from you again soon.
thanks for the good video. wish you would have showed yourself putting the "pad" between tire and disk. I would have considered to take off tire to give you room to put the inter pad on. was that any trouble? I have cessna 182L
Nice video but didn't you skim over some stuff? Relieving pressure in hydraulic line and using clamp to press piston back is part of process also isn't it. Owner/pilots are allowed to do this. Some of them might not know some of the things that seem obvious to people who have prior experience. The absence of every detail involved might cause unnecessary downtime acquiring the extra items.
