(1) Also applies to J53958 and J107077 (10" H brakes with air release/spring set actuator). (2) Also applies to J53957 (14" H brakes with air release/spring set actuator). |
When installing these pins on existing brakes (seven total per brake
assembly), it will be necessary to enlarge the present holes to allow
the new pins to mount in the appropriate base, top arm, shoe, and shoe
arms. Pins are provided with snap rings.

Please note items 5 and 8 on the illustration below as an example of pin locations.

This new pin design has been initiated in June 1992. New brakes will
utilize this new design. The brake base, top arm, shoe, and shoe arms
will also be manufactured for this pin design. If a customer purchases
a replacement brake base, top arm, shoe, or shoe arm to repair an
existing brake assembly, he should also purchase a new pin kit. At that
time, the brake assembly can be updated to the new pin design.
