 Topic: WD45 Brake pads
Posted: 18 Feb 2012 at 8:30am |
Could someone describe to me the procedure and tools needed? Never had to do a WD5 before but they are the original pads and the tractor has probably well over 5k hours on it.

Brakes are riveted liners. Can be provided by any of the site vendors. Some of these vendors also sell a rivet tool for about $35.

Only need replaced if wore out. Wear depends on use not hrs.Peek in there. If the drums have grooves cut,you're in the rivets.

They grind. sound like horribly sized bearings when I use them, otherwise no noise at all.

You will have to pull out the dreaded brake pin. Some come out easy some do not. You will probably need new drums if they are that bad. Brake shoes have to be out first then pull final drive to get at the drums.

hello there i just battled a wd allis a month ago and the pin was seized titter then anything i have ever worked on before also there is nothing to get a good pull on it i heard a guy say if you take a 3/8 rod 2 foot long and get a weight that slides on the rod nice than weld a washer on one end then weld the rod to the pin so you can slide the weight on the rod and use it like a slide hammer to get the best swing attempt on getting that sucker out. i twisted the pin of flush with the differential so there was nothing to weld to so in my case i went up through the 3 inch hole at the bottom of the differential and cut the pin in half with a torch carefull not to wreck the drum use the torch wiseley than cut a a chunk out of the middle of the pin than go from the out side and drive it in with a puunch the same diamiter than when it touchs again cut some more out and repeat until the out side half of the pin comes out than take your hammer and punch and drive the inner half of the pin up and down and the inner half always comes out easy the outer pin is the one that is seized but this is the process i hade to do to fix the brakes for my neighbers wd good luck if the drum is decent i used a sander to get it true again from the top side and that worked for me also dont forgetr the set screw on the bake side of the differential that keeps the brake band centered on the drum correctly athough if you go to church tomorrow and say 5 hal marrys and give thanks you might be able to soak that pin with 50/50 mix of acetone and atf tranny fluid than turn that pin out with a good pair of vise grips i was not so lucky but i will say a prayer for you too good luck hope this helps ~AMP~
