JCB 520-50 replacing brakes

BondoNJ ยท 2018-06-17 08:06

I have a 2005 JCB 520 and the brakes are squealing. I ordered the brakes, but I have never done these before. I talked to the local supplier and they tell me there is nothing inside the hub but the brakes. Local companies that repair/rent these say they just order new hubs. I finally found a print with the planetary gear setup inside the hub so I see what I'm getting into. I'm looking for any general information about adjusting the brakes once the replace them. Thank you

    Use only JCB light mineral base oil as per spec .Do not use regular DOT brake fluid .It will mess up your master cylinder seals . What is you email address ? I can send you service manual.
