DO NOT operate handbrake lever before fitting to the vehicle. The unit has been preset at the factory, if you have to,go to the last paragraph.
Adjust the pad gap on the brake caliper using the adjusting procedures below to ensure there is no more than 1mmclearance between both brake pads and disc.
ADJUSTING PAD GAP BRAKE CALIPER TYPE A (LUCAS, AKEBONO, BENDIX)
Using an Allen key or pair of long nose pliers in the dedicated slots on the front of the piston.
Rotate piston anti-clockwise to move the piston ‘out’.
If the piston is rotated in it must be rotated at least half a turn out to ensure the internal mechanism has reset beforeyou proceed any further.
Fit the brake caliper and brake pads but do not fit the handbrake cable.
Fully bleed the hydraulic system.
Fit the handbrake cable and adjust to remove any slack. Make sure that the gap between the lever-to-stop does notexceed 1mm.
ADJUSTING PAD GAP BRAKE CALIPER TYPE B (ATE & NBK)
Remove plug on rear caliper.
Using 4mm Allen key adjust piston, do not use excessive force as this can cause damage.
Rotate Allen key clockwise to move the piston ‘out’.
If the piston is wound in at any stage it must be wound out again by at least half a turn of the adjuster to ensure theinternal mechanism has reset before you proceed any further.
Fit the brake caliper and brake pads but do not fit the handbrake cable.
Fully bleed the hydraulic system.
Fit the handbrake cable and adjust to remove any slack. Make sure that the gap between thelever-to-stop does not exceed 1mm.
To reset the handbrake mechanism if the lever has been operated before fitting then the pistonshould be turned ‘in’ using the above methods. When the piston is fully ‘IN’ then the piston should beturned ‘OUT’ half to 1 turn. The handbrake mechanism is now set.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER ADJUST CALIPER OR SPLINES WILL STRIP ON ADJUSTER

Hand Brake Caliper Reset Procedure
www.brake-eng.com Technical Helpline:+44 (0) 1978 667811
TRW UK Aftermarket,Redwither Road, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Wrexham LL13 9RD http://www.brake-eng.com/Tech-Talk/
If the hand brake lever is moved prior to fitting and adjustment to the vehicle.It will throw the automatic hand brake adjustment out. If this happens, the hand brake mechanism will have to be reset by the following methods.
FOR TYPE A CALIPERS (SLOTS IN PISTON TYPE)
If the caliper has not been fitted to the vehicle.
Using a suitable tool, locate the slots in the piston and turn it in clockwise (Take care! later calipers can have a left hand thread) Until it stops. Turn the piston back out between ¼ and ½ turn. This resets the mechanism back to the lever. Continue to turn the piston out until you reach the neccessary adjustment of 1 mm clearance between the disc and the pads.
If there is alocating peg on the back of the pads, you will need to line this peg up with a slot in the piston. The easiest way is to mount the pads in the caliper and then slide the whole assembly over the disc. Bleed the caliper through, then operate the pedal a few times to centralise the assembly. Finally connect the hand brake cable and adjust accordingly.If the caliper has been fitted to the vehicle and the adjustment has been lost.
You will need to start the reset procedure by first taking off the hand brake cable, then clamping off the hydraulic flexi pipe, then open up the bleed screw. Then follow the above procedure.
FOR TYPE B CALIPERS (THREADED PLUG ON BACK OF CALIPER)
Remove the threaded plug to reveal an allen headed bolt type adjuster. Using a 4 mm allen key, turn it anti-clockwise to wind the piston in until it stops. Turn the allen key clockwise to wind the piston back out between ¼ and ½ turn.Then follow the above instructions for (Type A) caliper, but using the allen keyto turn the piston.
DON’T FORGET TO REPLACE THE THREADED PLUG.

What is a standard mechanical Caliper check?
The standard check of a Caliper should consist of the mechanical function check ofall the Caliper parts.
As a second part this test should include the visual inspection (leaking, crackingand wear of the parts)
Sticking Brake Pads as a example (see picture) are often the reason for noise occurrence, judder and / or overheated Brakes.
Guide Pins have to move smoothly.
Wheel hubs and centre rings of Disc should be free of corrosion and without damage otherwise judder could occur
Handbrake cable moves free

Brake Disc Wear
Blue coloured brake disc
The cause of the blue colour is continuous braking during driving downhill or hard brakingfrom a high speed.The blue colour has no direct impact to the brake efficiency. If there are cracks or deformations, change as an axle set.

Never compromise on safetyOur bearing discs with integrated bearing are manufactured to the highest standards. Never compromise on safety, fit Brake Engineering.
Advantages:
• Complete kit, including all the necessary replacement parts for mounting brake disc with integrated wheel bearing, washer, ASB®-magnetic encoder (Active Sensor Bearing) nut and cover.
• Simple, quick and precise mounting.• No special tools necessary to press the wheel bearing.• Avoids wrong mounting. Assembling loose components to one unit often causes problems
with the fitting, aligning and the clearance.• Perfect fitting to avoid complaints about vibrations and noise, caused by the brakes.• 100% identical to the original product. Therefore, it meets the high demands of the car
manufacturers.
Beware of imitations!
There are also some copies on the market which can be dangerous for the safety of the driver. Intensive tests have been performed and here are the main findings:
• The integrated bearings do not follow the OE-specifications, in particular for what concerns their lifespan and quality. Reduced lifespan can lead to premature failure of the brake and even loss of the wheel!
• The magnetic encoder (the patented ASB®-sensor ring) doesn’t have the necessary OE-quality. Some of them do not even have the same number of poles! This causes almost every time a malfunction in the ABS-and ESP-system.

Why risk your safety?
A premium product is not only the guarantee of quality and durability, it is also the best way to ensure safety reliability of your vehicle.You wouldn’t make any economies with your life. So why risk you life by buying counterfeit products?
Mounting Tips
Brake discs are safety parts. Install the part carefully and always work in a clean working place. Although mounting a brake disc with integrated bearing is simple, a few points you have to pay attention to.
1. The nut and cover always have to be replaced. If the old nut and cover are used, the risk exists that these can get loose again.
2. Clean the axle journal.3. Clean the ASB®-sensor and check with the ASB®-test card.4. Install the brake disc with integrated bearing without force on the axle journal (loose fit) and
don’t forget to degrease.5. Make sure that the disc doesn’t tilt. The inner ring can easily be pushed. Tools are not nec-
essary and should not be used.6. Place the washer (if present) in the right position and turn the new nut to the stop with the
hand. The brake disc has to be turned continuously in the meantime to guarantee an exact centering of the bearing components. An impact drive should not be used.
7. Pull the axle nut to the correct torque. Take into account the torque specifications of the car manufacturer. The torque should be exact. The vehicle should not stand on the wheels and also here, the brake disc has to be turned continuously in the meantime.
8. Don’t expose the wheel bearing to magnetic fields. Otherwise, the ASB®-sensor ring may be damaged.
9. Grease the contact surface of the nut cap before mounting. Use a wooden hammer to avoid deformation.

Remarks
The ASB ®-Magnetic encoder ring is not sold separately in the aftermarket because this ring cannot be removed or replaced without damaging. Using a screwdriver as a “removal tool”, only a small part of the ring can be lifted. This can result in a deformation of the ring. Using a hammer to mount the magnetic ring can cause visible and invisible damage. A system failure can appear quickly as soon as the magnetic ring is mounted on the new brake disc. This can lead to a failure in the ABS-system and the consequences can be fatal.
The European Law forbids the mounting and use of brake discs with uneven wear on the same axle. Therefore, both brake discs should be replaced at the same time.

The advantages of an ASB®-bearing
The ASB®-bearing measures the rotation and speed of the wheel and sends the data to the considered systems in the vehicle. The active sensor sends a digital signal to the vehicle computer and has many advantages, among which:
• The possibility of measuring wheel speed down to zero.• Saving in space and weight.• Simplified assembly of wheel.• Standardisation of the components.

Although the Brake Engineering Pad and Shoe range comes complete with safety critical brake accessories (i.e. caliper bolts, handbrake lever circlips/washers etc) supplementary brake fitting kits are not included.
Brake Fitting Kits - The Mechanics FriendHow many times is a Pad or Shoe reline delayed, or additional costs incurred, when essential brake accessory clips and/or springs are found to be worn, damaged or missing ?The Brake Engineering catalogue contains information on a comprehensive range of brake accessory fitting kits now available.
Brake Fitting Kits - Easier referencingWhere a brake fitting kit is required this is listed in the application section, alongside the appropriate Pad or Shoe part number. All Brake Engineering fitting kit part numbers are ‘pre-fixed’ by the letter ‘QK’ Brake Engineering also has available ‘Point-of-Sale’ Brake Accessory Display Stands, complete with the popular kits. Please ask you Area Manager for further details.
Part Number RangeQK0501-0767 are Fitting Kits for Drum Brake/Shoe applicationsQK0901-1273 are Fitting Kits for Disc Brake/Pad applicationsAll kit packaging contains cross-reference information as to which Pad or Shoe part number they should befitted with. This information is also shown on the Pad and Shoe packaging.
Fitting Kit ContentsDrum Brake Kits include: Shoe ‘hold-down’ accessories and return springsDisc Brake Kits include: Pad anti-rattle springs and caliper pad retention pins.
The importance of specifying Fitting Kits when replacing pads and show...
Pad Fitting KitsCorrect fitment of pad retention pins enables the Pads to move freely within the caliper housing during operation. Worn, damaged, or badly corroded parts will cause in a brake imbalance and and/or seizure of brake components, particularly between the ‘inboard’ and ‘out-board’ Pads, resulting in uneven wear, reduced brake efficiency, brake pull and judder!Correct fitment of anti-rattle springs hold the pads correctly in place within the caliper housing, preventing vibration, the prime cause of brake noise/squeal!
Shoe Fitting KitsCorrect fitment of shoe ‘hold-down steady posts and springs’ ensures that the brake shoes remain parallel with the brake drum surfaces at all times Worn, damaged, weak or badly corroded parts will prolong bedding, increase the risk of uneven lateral taper wear and wheel lock!The fitment of new shoe return springs ensures that a correct running clearance is maintained when thebrakes are released. Worn, damaged or weak springs may result in the brakes ‘hanging-on’. This will result in excessive temperature operation, rapid wear and possible wheel lock conditions!

SERVICE INFORMATION01/2010 rev. 07/2010rev. 07/2010
Fitting instructions for the Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC)The concentric slave cylinder (CSC) is subjected to just as much natural wear as the clutch or flywheeland should be replaced every time the clutch is changed.
There are a few important things to consider during installation in order to preserve the functionalityand service life of the components.
Critical points when fitting the CSC:
• Do not repeatedly pump the clutch pedal when bleeding; depress just once and wait for hydraulicsystem to stabilize before pumping again. (Risk of over pressure inside CSC)
• Do not use any lubricants or cleaning agents as they may damage the gaskets or entire cylinder.• A high level of cleanliness is critical at all times.• Only use brake fluid approved by the car manufacturer.• Gaskets, seals and the connection areas must be totally clean.• Clean the transmission input shaft and ensure that there is no damage or excessive wear on shaft seal
area.• Make sure the slave cylinder is installed flat against the transmission-mounting surface • Fit the slave cylinder fixing bolts and tighten per the vehicle manufacturer requirements.
Always read the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer! !

cy g g p q• Flush the connecting hose through with clean fluid before assembly to prevent contamination of the
new cylinder.• Fill the reservoir with an approved DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.• NEVER bleed the CSC if the clutch and flywheel are not yet assembled.• Make sure the CSC is not tilted during installation. Failure may lead to damage of the fixing lugs or
reduced service life.• Do not over tighten bleed screw.• Bleed screw torque for Plastic housing (3 to 5 Nm) - for Aluminum housing (15 to 20 Nm)

3 - AXIAL AND ANGULAR SHAFT/ENGINE MISALIGNMENT
The transmission shaft must be perfectly aligned during fitment, as excessive axial or angularmisalignment will stress the primary seal causing a reduction in the life of the unit.
If there is excessive axial or angular misalignment, when the transmission shaft rotates it can generatemineral oil mist which can contaminate the primary seal leading to failure of the cylinder.
4 – INCORRECT FLUID USE
The clutch hydraulic system MUST only be filled with the manufacturers recommended fluid.Never use mineral oil
1: parallel offset ; 2: Angular offset
Possible causes of misalignment are:• Centering between engine and gear box is notcorrect (deformation, heavy dirt or wear);• Other parts (e.g. grounding straps) trappedbetween engine and gear box during installation);• Flange bolts loose or not properly tightened;• Close-tolerance sleeves or pins missing /damaged;• Pilot bearing in the flywheel is absent or badly worn;• Clutch bell housing warped due to unevenly or over torqued fixing bolts• Clutch bell housing deformed due to dropping or striking hard when fitting.

5 - BLEEDING ERROR – OVER PRESSURE
DO NOT USE POWER ASSISTED BLEEDING DEVICES ON THE CLUTCH SYSTEM
Use of these systems can over pressurize the concentric slave cylinder. If this occurs, it will causepermanent damage to the cylinder and it will need to be replaced!Manual bleeding should be carried out using the following process:1. Depress clutch pedal2. Open bleed valve3. Keep clutch pedal depressed until fluid appears – Do not release!4. Close bleed valve5. Release clutch pedal slowly6. Do not repeatedly pump the clutch
The clutch bleeding cycle must be repeated 20 to 25 times to guarantee complete bleeding. Top upthe level of the fluid in the reservoir between the cycles. The level of the fluid must not drop below theminimum mark on the reservoir during bleeding!

Dangers of Conductivity Type Brake Fluid Testers

Dangers of conductivity
type brake fluid testers

www.brake-eng.com
Electronic devices to test automotive brake fluid when in service are becoming increasingly popular. Correctly
designed and used, they can make a real contribution to road safety, while providing profit opportunities for
garages.
However, customers should be aware that these testers are not all of the same design and some are very
much better than others. We are aware of many incidents where electronic brake fluid testers have incorrectly
failed new product straight out of a bottle, while under different circumstances passing product as acceptable
which had become dangerous for use.
In our experience any brake fluid tester which does not actually heat the fluid is likely to give misleading or
even dangerous results. Such testers will estimate the water content electronically by measuring the
conductivity (or occasionally the capacitance) of the fluid, which in theory increases as water is absorbed.
The tester then converts this measurement to supposed boiling point and indicates the result commonly as a
display of green, yellow or red lights, depending on the conductivity.
Unfortunately, this measurement principle is fatally flawed as the
conductivity of new brake fluids varies substantially, from not only
between DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 types but also from formulation
to formulations within a DOT grade depending on the additives used.
This means that unless a conductivity tester is calibrated on one
manufacturer’s product and then used for that product only, it is likely
to give very inaccurate results.
In contrast to this type of equipment testers are available which
actually heat a sample of the fluid to establish the boiling point,
thereby getting away from the problem of varying conductivities. In
our experience these provide the best balance of performance and economy currently available. Even so
caution is needed, careful handling and regular calibration being required if results are to be reliable.
In cases where customers require totally accurate water contents or boiling points, it is recommended that
they return samples to Brake Engineering so that laboratory tests can be conducted to ensure that the fluid
meets the required standards using industry standard techniques such as the well known Karl Fischer
method for water content.
