General
There are a variety of publications available from Cleveland Wheels & Brakes to assist in the maintenance,
overhaul or troubleshooting of Cleveland products. These documents are intended to supplement, not replace,
the airframe manufacturer’s instructions when Cleveland products are used. The “Component Maintenance
Manual” (CMM) is an excellent reference publication used by many installers and technicians. It has been
generically written to address the common practices and procedures used to inspect, troubleshoot and
overhaul most General Aviation external type wheels and brakes. The CMM is often used in conjunction with
the Product Catalog which presents detailed illustrated parts breakdowns. The more complex internal type
wheels and brakes generally have a manual expressly written for their overhaul and maintenance type activities.
Manual Use
Use of this manual requires reference to the Cleveland Wheels & Brakes Product Catalog. When referencing the
Product Catalog, please note the term “cylinder assembly” or “caliper” is a reference to a brake assembly which
includes the cylinder in addition to a back plate, pressure plate, brake linings, piston(s), and other components.
The term “cylinder” is used to identify the housing for the piston(s), o-rings, and brake fl uid. The cylinder
is a component of the caliper.
When referencing the Product Catalog, you may note terms “cylinder assembly” and “caliper” being
used interchangeably.
