Brake Levers

[Shoat]

Which side do rear brake levers (that attach to brake rods) that slip on break actuators goes toward the backing plate and hub - flat or beveled side? Same question on emergency brake levers.

Below is a diagram that I made for someone who asked the very same question about a year ago. Basically think of the green line as the plane, and then look at the angle the rods are in the picture. The clevis end of the arms must be in the same orientation as what the rods are to keep from binding. Hope this helps.

Shoat,

The beveled ende goes towards the backing plate...DO NOT forget to put the round dust ring on first between the arm and the backing plate.
