Summary
This document establishes a recommended practice for transit bus front/rear axle disc brake inspection and reline. Individual operating agencies should modify these guidelines to accommodate their specific equipment and mode of operation. The recommended practices and guidelines in this document
assume that the end users have sufficient skills and knowledge to repair and maintain the related systems at a journeyman level. This must include a fluent understanding of safe shop working practices, not only for the agency but also OSHA/CCOHS/provincial/federal/state and local safety standards. A familiarity with applicable industries, component/system suppliers and vehicle manufacturers is also assumed.
