Installation
Installation and proper fit of the Lippert Components, Inc. Disc Brake
System follows a series of initial steps that must be performed prior to
utilizing the brake system.
Step 1 - Rotor MUST fit over hub. Some hubs may vary from the standard dimrensions, Be sure
rotor fits completely over hub and that wheel bolts pass through the rotor wheel holes.
Step 2 - Wheel bolts must also extend to the point they will fully thread the wheel nut after the rotor is
installled.
NOTE: - Wheel bolts 1/2” 20 x 2 1/2” are countersunk as a standard. Be sure enough thread is
present to fully engage the wheel nut.
Step 3 - Brake flange must be welded perpendicular to the center line of the spindle. A nominal
clearance will be present between the outer edge of the caliper mounting bracket and the
inside face of the rotor. This clearance measurement must be the same at both mounting
holes. Check that rotor turns freely after installation.
6. Scheduled inspections of the trailer’s brake system should comprise the following:
(a) Excessive or uneven wearing on the pads.
(b) Excessive wear, scoring, excessive heat build up, cracks in or warping of rotor.
(c) Correct fluid level in master cylinder.
(d) Bolts firmly tightened.
(e) Any fluid leaks around calipers or brake lines.
NOTE: Inspect all areas if the LCI Disc Brake System. Excessive wear on pads or damaged to
the rotars due to excessive pad wear will not be covered by the Lippert Components, Inc.
