Disc Brake Adjustment

1 -- Caliper should be adjusted if the pedal travel is excessive, brake does not stop the vehicle, or the parking brake does not hold when applied.
2 -- To adjust the brake caliper, first make sure the brake pedal and the brake lever (ref. 5) are in the rear position. Second, loosen the jam nut (ref. 3) and screw in the adjuster screw (ref. 4) until it is snug. Next, back off the adjuster screw 1/4" turn, while holding the adjuster screw in this position, securely tighten the jam nut. Perform a brake test before operating the vehicle.
3 -- If, after the caliper has been adjusted, the pedal is not up against its rear stop, the brake rod will need to be shortened. To shorten the brake rod, remove the hex nut that holds the brake rod to the brake pedal and place the rear most hole of the brake rod over the bolt in the pedal. Then install the nut and tighten, then readjust per paragraph 2.
WARNING - Do not overtighten the fasteners, pedal must move freely.
4 -- Additional adjustment can be made in the same manner at the back of the brake rod where it attaches to the brake linkage. NOTE: Clevis pins are used to attach the brake rod at the rear on most models.

Replacement Of Disc Brake Pads

Perform Disassembly On A Clean Work Bench

Disconnect the brake rod from the lever. Remove the bolts holding the caliper assembly in place. Slide the caliper off the mounting bracket. Loosen the jam nut and back off the adjuster screw. Remove the two bolts and separate the brake housing and anvil. Remove the brake housing side brake lining pad, the backing plate and the the actuator pin and inspect the backing plate, actuator pin and brake lever for galling or cracks. If defective, these parts must be replaced. Lubricate the spherical end of the actuator pin, adjusting screw and brake lever ramp areas with high temperature grease and replace the acuator pin into the housing spherical end first. Place the backing plate into the brake housing then place the new brake lining pad on top of the backing plate. Install the new brake lining pad in the anvil and reassemble the actuator assembly using the reverse order of the disassembly instructions. Connect the rod and adjust the caliperper the directions under Brake Adjustment. Perform brake test. NOTE: The brake lining pads were originally bonded in place and may have to be pried loose.

Comet #218070A Caliper Information
(Mounting Bracket & Disc Sold Separately)

Compact and powerful, the Comet Caliper is constructed of high-strength die cast aluminum and has a rated brake torque of 4800 lbs. with 150 lbs. of lever pull force applied on a 10" diameter disc. Simplicity of design, the actuator has only one moving part to enable quick and easy adjustment made by tightening the adjusting nut externally of the die cast housing. Quality engineered to exacting standards, the Comet disc brake has 1.8 square inches of automotive type friction material utilized in each puck. Comet's precise, well-machined disc brake caliper delivers vital performance structured for efficiency and reliability. The Comet Disc Caliper Brake is a direct replacement for comparable brakes of the same size. The caliper has eight (8) different lever positions in either direction, for a total of 16 positions. Integrated in the unique actuator design is a positive stop so the Return Spring can be used without causing braking in the opposite direction of pull. The brake also has a very simple means of fine adjustment via the large Hex Adjusting Barrel controlled by a friction proceedure that resists turning. The brake can be floated by using spacers and longer assembly bolts or by using the two convenient slots. Used on RV's, snowmobiles, go karts, mini bikes, garden tractors, ATV's and numerous industrial applications. Weight: 1.38 lbs., Brake Lever: Do Not Exceed 150 lbs. of Force. Uses replacement brake pad set part #04-9610, sold below.
