SERVICE MANUAL4.Remove fittings from valve. Mark these fittingsalso.5.Remove valve from chassis.a.SuspendedPedalValvesRemove nuts on exterior side of dash andremove valve assembly.b.TreadleTypeValvesRemove brake valve and treadle assembly byremoving three capscrews on outer bolt circle ofmounting plate.Basic valve alone may beremoved by removing three capscrews on innerbolt circle.REINSTALLInstallation of brake valve is basically the reverse ofremoval. Be sure to make service checks beforereturning vehicle to service.DISASSEMBLYTreadle Type Brake Valve (E6)Refer to Fig. 8 for numbers in parenthesis.1.If the entire brake valve and treadle assemblywas removed from the vehicle, remove the threecapscrews securing the treadle assembly to thebasic brake valve.2.Remove screw (1) securing the exhaustdiaphragm (3) and washer (2) to exhaust cover(4).3.Remove four screws that secure exhaust cover(4) to lower body (10).4.Remove secondary inlet and exhaust valveassembly (items 5 through 9) from lower body.Disassembly of secondary inlet and exhaustvalve assembly is not required since it is onlyserviced as an assembly.5.Remove four hex head capscrews securing thelower body (10) to upper body (11) and separatethe bodies.6.Remove the rubber seal ring (12) from the lowerbody.7.Apply thumb pressure to primary piston (16), liftout and up on the three lock tabs of primarypiston retainer (19).8.Using a 10 mm (3/8") wrench, hold ENSA nut onthreaded end of stem on top of primary piston.Insert a screwdriver in exhaust passage throughcenter of valve and engage slotted head of thestem (23).CAUTIONBefore proceeding with the disassembly(refer to Fig. 8), note the ESNA nut andstem are used to contain primary pistonreturn spring (17), stem spring (21) andrelay piston spring (14). Combined forceof these springs is approximately 222 N(50 lbf) and care must be taken whenremoving the ESNA nut as the springforces will be released. It isrecommended that primary piston andrelay piston be manually or mechanicallycontained while nut and stem are beingremoved to prevent bodily injury.9.Rotate the screwdriver counterclockwise andremove stem (23), stem spring (21), spring guide(22) and ESNA nut.10.Remove relay piston (13), relay piston spring(14), primary piston and primary piston returnspring from the upper body.11.Disassemble primary piston by rotating thespring seat nut (24) counterclockwise. Separatespring seat nut, spring seat (20), rubber spring(18) and remove piston O-ring.12.Remove large and small O-rings from relaypiston.13.Remove retaining ring securing primary inlet andexhaust valve assembly (15) in upper body andremove valve assembly. Do not disassembleprimary inlet as it is only serviced as anassembly.CLEANING AND INSPECTIONWash all metal parts in cleaning solvent and dry them.Inspect all parts for excessive wear or deterioration.Inspect valve seats for nicks or burrs. Check springs forcracks or corrosion. Replace all rubber parts and anypart not found to be serviceable during inspection.ASSEMBLYTreadle Type Brake Valve (E6)Prior to reassembling brake valve, lubricate all O-rings,O-ring grooves, piston bores and metal-to-metal movingsurfaces with Item1 in LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS.Refer to Fig. 8 for numbers in parenthesis. All torque’sspecified are assembly torque’s and can be expected todiffer after assembly is accomplished. Do not retorqueafter initial assembly.CTS-4079 CHAPTER IV - Page 7
