Rick,

Another member will undoubtedly supply the brake parts numbers. Can't help you there.

But, if you are interested in general parts numbers, have you seen the Part Number Collection thread? Our good friend Barry Beam started the project 10 years ago. Additions to the list are made in a sporadic way. I wish we had more active participation by all members (including me).

You might find some useful numbers by scrolling through the whole thread?

Other than purchasing what the manufacturer recommends, a Google search for "high temperature clay filled grease" turns up lots of options:

When you have some time, you might watch this Meritor Air Disk Brakes Maintenance video. It is old, and a little long, but was informative for me. I often play youtube on 1.25, 1.5 or 2x speed until it hits something interesting....especially to get through the intro fluff.

The Meritor # for the front rotor is 3218-Y1065.

And what ever you might do or have done. It is imperative that you install the slide pin helper springs. A great many brakes have been ruined (MINE included) from sticky slide pins. The springs are an additional part that was created by Meritor to help prevent slide pins from sticking. Slide pins and the bore they ride in (as i understand) are not to be lubricated with grease.

Jerry the myth that they are not to be lubricated was just in a previous post and the meritor manual was quoted to use a lubricant. I think it was WD 40 but will find the link and post. Read the link in reply #14 WD40 or CRC lube.

I saw that in the linked maint. video and updated my post.

Seems odd as WD-40 won't last long at all when exposed to water and road grime. And ANY oil no mater how light weight it is will attract dust. But of course I will defer to the maint experts.

I had my brake pins serviced today. They all looked good from a simple visual inspection, but when pulled every single one was pitted and scored. Had the helper springs installed on new pins. 22 year old coach, 76,000 miles.

In my reading of the shop manual I can find no recommendations for lubing the pins.

"Apply anti-seize compound to the slide pin retainer. DO NOT apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the retainer or to the slide pin."

Any lube retains dirt. Hard chrome in a bronze oilite bushing is self lubing. My caliper bushing were worn. The Cummins dealer replaced them and installed new pins.

The retainer pin needs anti seize. Silastic seal on inner end of pin. No reference to lubing pin.

Thanks I don't know how to make it that plain. I thought a page and line number would suffice.

thanks.

Water spray will/may remove CRC and especially wd 40 during use. As does time exposed to air. The CRC is a good storage spray for my watercraft. Must be reapplied periodically during storage if used as preservation agent.

The "similar" quote would seemingly also apply to the silicone spray I mentioned.

Boeing developed its own lube/water displacement/preservative called T-9 which I use on my stored motorcycle engine parts as they noted the complete dissipation of the second generation of WD40 over time.

Original WD 40 was from rocket chemicals and in spray form was flammable. We used to use it to start drowned watercraft engines. The later versions were not as useful and were totally gone from surfaces over time.

Not for this application as it does not dissipate totally.
