Earlier posts? Hi John: I am also interested in seeing what the method for removal/installation is without the tool, but I do not see any old threads that detail this. I found one thread about removing the brake package by "tapping on the bolts" but that is it. Can you elaborate? Thanks, Andrew S. | ||

How exactly is this done? Even the service manual tells you to use the tool. | ||

REMOVING BRAKE ASSEMBLY FROM MT HELICAL DR WASHERS
1 lay washer on side 2 remove belts and main drive pulley 3 remove 7/16"bolt and clip above brake package below base plate [very early washers had allen screw located in damper casting located above base plate that has to be removed instead of bolt and clip] 4 give threaded top of brake package a squirt of penetrating oil 5 take a blunt square chisel and place it against the side of one of the eight screws that hold the brake package together and hit it sharply with a hammer to loosen the brake assembly in a counter clockwise direction then finish removing by hand 6 if you have one of the newer brake packages that are crimped together [no screws] take a cold chisel and dig into the edge of the brake assembly creating a small dent or notch and loosen and unscrew 7 reassemble by hand giving a small tap with hammer in the same manner to tighten.

Thanks John Interesting - sounds do-able if you don't have the wrench. | ||

MT BRAKE REMOVAL TOOL
I did have the tool I threw it in the metal recycling bin years ago. Thats why I an taking the time to post all this . After doing it my way for years and then I finally found the special tool I was very disappointed the way it worked it tended to slip off the brake assembly so after using it a few times I never bothered again. Disassembling a MT washer this far is not something I would ever recommend any one attempt who is not pretty handy mechanically.

It would be harder to use "the without brake tool" method. I'd feel more secure...would need more input. | ||

I have used an old pair of vice-grip and crimped the vice grip to the break package. Then I use a hammer on the vice-grip..usually works like a charm. The tool did work, but it often slipped off... Bob | ||

"...if one can't figure out how to unscrew...". not necessarily, I misunderstood the handling of the brake package. I thought I needed to be extra cautious with the brake because of the spring. It's about unscrewing and rescrewing the brake right and tight. | ||
