figured that the front bucket isnt always a good emergency brake.(but it does work pretty good) and saw that the discs are not expensive at all so if it warms up a tad i might just tackle the job. i dont have a manual yet but hope to once i recuperate from the christmas shopping frenzy (the wife goes a little crazy for the kids)
well i figured someone here would know....
What parts are you thinking needs replacing? Does this look like what you have? My 580SE is totally different to this with the pads external and easy to replace.
Sorry nitro seemed to have missed the first post. Clean front of trans to prevent dirt going into trans/ your eyes - will make it a little more pleasant. If 4wd - both driveshafts come out Then disconnect park brake cable from actuator at front cover Drain trans oil Remove 4wd selector lever & housing - if 2WD remove cover Remove park brake housing - take note of different length bolts Replace worn bits Thouroughly clean housing surfaces & reseal using Loctite 515 or good quality RTV silicone. **Note - you will find more than discs to be problem + if a 4WD check the selector fingers
Maybe this is the part diagram you need. Wow, this is different to mine. Makes me proud to have an SE While I was posting this I see the photo from alrman and this may be the wrong diagram. Is it a 4WD? Maybe I should stay out of this thread. I clearly know nothing about the parking brake on a 580SK No one was responding and I was just looking for a diagram that would help...:guns
Yeah it's 4wd and it supposed to have external discs but be4 I go tearing into it figured I'd learn what's involved The parts seem to be not too expensive from cnh The pics and info are much appreciated
