Hi all, I'm considering replacing my Goodyear Brakes with Cleveland Brakes, and I have a few questions for anyone who has done it. The assembly I have has longer pins so that the brake cylinder sits far enough back that the wheel will go all the way on the axle, and that the disc will be in the right place, but when I push the wheel on, it seems to rub along the arm that axle is attached to, and along the bolts that attach the break cylinder to the back of the axle. I got shorter bolts, and installed those, but it still seems to rub, and I think I may be missing a spacer, or something similar that would go between the wheel, and the inside of the axle where the cylinder mounts. I'd appreciate advise from anyone who has done this. This is not a kit, these are wheels and brakes off a Cessna 150, with the longer pins machined for me. Please let me know if I'm missing something.
I'm also not totally convinced that I want to make this change, so I'd appreciate any advice on this as well. The Goodyear brakes just don't seem to stop me very well, and wear out quickly even though I don't use my brakes that much. -Kris Carter Atlanta, Ga.
