Just a reminder....check your torque marks and magnet wear

[Jim and Frances]

I was in the process of replacing brakes and hubs last week and one of the brake plate nuts was loose enough to turn by hand.  I had not checked these torque marks in over 3K miles.  I don't think this one loose nut had any thread locker applied.  All the others did.  My bad and lesson learned.

 

 

As for brake magnets, it appears one of our self-adjusters was not adjusting very well, resulting in excessive wear of the magnet.  Noticing uneven magnet wear when removing hub for other maintenance is a good sign your "self-adjusters" are not adjusting evenly.  

 

As compared to other magnets.

 

I am a slow learner....but am still learning!  😀
