Process for the change of the brake disc of a disc brake and associated disc brake

摘要

The method of changing the brake disc (4) involves withdrawing the wheel hub (3) on separation of the brake disc hub (4a) from the stub axle (2) in the position holding the brake disc. The brake lining carrier (7a) with its brake lining (7b) is removed from the brake saddle carrier shaft. The brake disc position is lifted off, the disc lowered towards the stub axle, and the half section of the brake disc opposite the brake saddle carrier is swung towards the free end of the stub axle. The brake disc is finally detached from the brake saddle carrier and removed over the stub axle. The disc itself preferably has matching dimensions between the height and axial thickness of the friction brake ring (4b) of the brake disc and the radial gap between the stub axle (2) and the side of the brake saddle carrier towards the wheel flange (3c), and also the axial gap between the leading and trailing part of the brake saddle carrier.
