Martin,- Just tighten the bolts as you would normally do... The pad will
simply =0Apush the cylinders back in the brake housing... Then when you use
the brake =0Alever the cylinders will move against the brake pads and stop
the plane. when =0Ayou release the brake lever there will be no pressure o
n the brake linings, and =0Athe plane can move...=0A=0AJim Brown--=0A

=0AHi Folks,=0A=0AI've just replaced the brake pads on my Europa. They seem
very thick - compared =0Ato the worn ones which were almost down to the ri
vet heads!=0A=0AI'm sure it will all go back together OK but I have a suspi
cion that they might =0Awell up clamping themselves to the brake disc when
I tighten the bolts. Can you =0Aadjust the gap between the pads such they d
on't bind maybe with a couple of =0Awashers as shims?=0A=0AAnyone else find
their pads bind? As I say I haven't actually put them back on =0Ayet and t
hey might be alright - I just want to make sure I have my bases covered =0A
before I head over to the hangar later this week.=0A=0ARegards,=0AMartin=0A
