Having never seen one this bad before, I thought I would share it. I am sorry that I did not shoot other pictures of the frozen anchor pins in the torque plate assembly, but that is the way of working on planes.
Yeah, raises a few questions, does it not? Here is what it looked like after removing the brake pad.
Not exactly a flat surface, so this one id for the scrap bin. BTW, this part from Cleveland Brakes 154-00600 is $101.75 (with discount!)
Okay, finally if I say this is from a well-maintained that has seen Grumman Shops (unverified), would you believe it?
