Eaton clutch brake 2013 prostar maxxforce.

The single piece clutch brake can be removed, having it done next week. The tranny shop said if they can’t cut it out then they would use a cutting torch. No trans removal.

 

It is possible.

 

I take them out with a torch. Tell the customer it is a 2.5 hour charge upfront. That is to replace brake and adjust clutch without removing the transmission.

 

Someone's trying to #### you without any

Bet you anything they plan on doing it without pulling the tranny and then handing you a bill for 10 hours labour.

 

The more important question should be........why did the the clutch brake not outlast the clutch and what can I do to prevent failure in the future?

Yes it can be done.......not a pleasant job by any means, depending on the amount of grease present.

Depending on the life remaining of the clutch, miles, use ect......I would just consider putting a clutch in it and going with the original one piece.

 

That is normally correct but I did finally learn to adjust the brake a bit on the loose side for some customers. Slip seating new drivers and some must use it to stop the vehicle. Grease the disc also.

 

Yup........really easy to push too hard and tear it up, especially with a hydraulic assisted clutch. Not so easy to do with manual linkage.

 

Only used it once, but it worked well.
