I stuffed the brake line back into the aircraft, tied it all down and screwed it to the swing arm. Bolted the new caliper to the brake disk and torqued it to 90 in-lbs.

This pic shows the port side of the master cylinder. The red knob is the parking brake. You squeeze the brake lever and turn the knob (top back toward you) and release the lever. This holds the brake on. To release the brake you simply squeeze the bra

The best solution is shown in this pic from Mike Parkin. A Banjo fitting. The Banjo bolt is straight threads, it lies low, out of the way of grabby things and is stoutly attached. So, I have a number of bits on order from various suppliers in an attem

Walked down to the corner of the hanger to the next line of hangers where there is a WC. This is what I saw to the Southeast. Not looking good. Went to the WC and cleaned up. Looked even more threatening after the wash. Decided to close up and go hom

The threads on both fittings are 24/in. So that's a match. The issue is one is straight and the other pipe thread.

Put a bit of fluid in the reservoir and observe bubbles. Air is being pushed out and replaced by fluid. That's good. Watched this for almost an hour till the bubbles stopped and the reservoir began to fill. Shut the bleed contraption, stuff the line b

Safety wired the bolts and check the installation. Pushed the aircraft and the brake stopped it. Held the brake and tried to push it aircraft. It wouldn't budge. Very good. Pulled it out of the hanger, started it up, let it warm properly and taxi tes

It took almost an hour to carefully and safely get the tap started in the aluminum brake. I sure didn't want to screw that up. Once I had a good start and the tap began to cut, I clamped the tap in the vice with the brake held high so chips fall out and

First try was just to bolt the BSPP banjo onto the brake. Needless to say, that was just too simple to work. It wouldn't seat properly in the BSPT brake.

2010 06 21 - What's this, the 4th or 5th try at getting a seal on the banjo to the brake caliper? Still leaks.

More retraction tests. Closer, but still won't quite go into up lock. Maybe 1/4" (0.635 cm) from engaging. Back under for a couple more hours before I finally see where the blue from the fitting is rubbing on the side of the tunnel where the seat

2010 07 06 - Wondered how the new brake would work on retraction. Set up for retraction testing. LG lever went to about 1/2" (1.275 cm) from the up lock and wouldn't go any further. Hitting something. Spent several hours trying to see what what
