 |
|
The brakes on my trigear’s main wheels have got lees ”bite” over time. I wonder whether it may be caused by brake fluid spilled on the pads and discs when venting the brake lines.
I have not inspected the pads yet, but this will be done soon.
Has anyone experienced the same? What is good method to restore the pad’s friction surface – cleaning with a solvent (which?), light sanding or both?
Regards,
Svein

There are some "brake clean" products available that will do a reasonable job of removing
oil and grease from brake pads and shoes, but the material itself is quite porous and the
oil etc soaks in where the cleaners only really remove the surface contaminates. Best bet
long term is to remove the pads and replace them IMHO.

(I hit the wrong key a second ago!)
Thank you, Craig, I think that’s the route to follow. Have ordered a new set from Europa.

They are maybe glazed. In the operatorīs manual is a method how to restore them. Try it. I got a help.
