05 F650 6.0 PowerStroke Dumptruck Brake Repair

Cubawashere
June 13, 2013

 1
This dumptruck had no functioning brakes when I was called in. For one, front main lines to master cylinder broke (corroded through) and right rear rotor was totally separated in center from hub with only 1 of the 2 plates left and a seized caliper. Mind you, this is a construction outfit, they haul a 30' trailer with heavy equipment and rigs which also did not have functioning brakes! This could have been a BAD accident which somehow (scratching my head how??) was able to get back to shop unscathed. (job started 6-9-13 to present while waiting for parts and weather to clear) Read more ยป

shows hole in casting of caliper bracket... exactly where pin and its grease are located.  Some of the worst oxidation I've seen on any vehicle considering it's less than 10yrs old.

shows how rotor is separated from hub, only the caliper held it in place.  Very lucky didn't catch fire -which I've seen numerous times on vehicles neglecting their brakes.

shows hub locking nut.  This nut is 3 1/2"  and has chisel marks which is typical on how sub standard (IMO) shops/mechanics tighten this nut.

leaving for the night, I sealed hub with plastic bags to prevent moisture and critters from entering rear.  Torrential showers expected, along with possible tornadoes, FUN!
