[TR] Replacing rear brake cyls.

[Bob Danielson]

OK.... I just pulled up the Buckeye article
(http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Brakes/Rear/Rear.htm)  that I used
as my guide when I did the rear brakes. If I'm looking at the pictures
correctly, I have everything exactly as they show it, including the rubber
dust cover which they show between the 1st and 2nd plate. Well, it's not
actually between but around the 1st plate. Or am I missing something?

With all due respect, the Danielson method is doing it the hard way. The
three pieces are orientated properly in the photos, but the order of
assembly should be:
1. Insert the long piece, with the locking tabs up, from the brake lever
side.
2. Insert the shortest piece, also from the brake lever side 3. Insert the
brake lever 4. Insert the remaining long piece between the first two pieces
from the side opposite the brake lever until the tabs from the bottom piece
lock in place. You'll have to tap it home with a light hammer and a punch or
screw driver.
5. Install the dust cover. It does NOT go between the 1st plate and the
backing plate, but fits the periphery of the 3 plate assembly. If it was
placed under the first plate, it would prevent the assembly from sliding
along the backing plate easily.

And, yes, rubber grease, Girling green or equivalent, should be used 
throughout, especially between the brake cylinder and the backing plate.
