Axial Mounted Brakes
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
- Raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
- Remove all of the wheel assemblies. For instructions, see of the 108SD and 114SD Workshop Manual.
- Set a torque wrench to 350 lbf·ft (475 N·m)
and tighten the caliper mounting bolts following the tightening pattern
shown in Fig..
If they do not turn, no further work is needed. If they turn, take
the vehicle to an authorized Freightliner dealer to have all of the
caliper bolts on that wheel end replaced. Due to limited caliper bolt
access, it may be necessary to use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 referenced
in tool letter 18TL18. If the tool is needed, use tool DDC DSNCHA018005
only and no other tools. See Fig.. If the tool is needed, see Table. for torque specifications for a 47 in (119 cm) long wrench.

- Install the wheel assemblies. For instructions, see of the 108SD and 114SD Workshop Manual.
- Remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle.
Important: The following information applies to all types of axial mounted brake applications.
Note: In all steps that require a torque wrench, use a Snap On torque wrench ATECH4RS600, or an equivalent, with a center to handle length of 47 inches (119 cm).
