Once you buy one, you'll be kicking yourself for not doing it earlier...
Be careful when using it to dimple, if you get in a hurry, it is real easy to create
a new dimpled hole in the wrong place.....

Just an opportunity to squeeze another rivet to fill that hole. ;-)

| Subject: | leaking brake calipers |
I flew into OSH and landed on runway 9 last Friday during the show. I had to taxi
quite a distance on turf to get to the HBP area with the other 10's. As I
got closer to the parking area, i noticed my brakes getting spongy.
I don't think I ride the brakes much at all but taxiing on the grass made me tap
dance on them quite a bit. I few back to KUES that evening and found a leaking
right caliper. Opened it up and found the o-ring pretty worn on one side,
almost flat. The wall looked good with no sign of scoring or scratches. I replaced
the o-ring but have not tested the brakes yet. I also found the left
caliper leaking slightly as well. Have not inspected it yet. The plane has about
170 hours. Had no problems prior to this flight.
The question is, would heating up the brakes cause the o-rings to fail?

Yes, and if your running H-5606 with Fiberglas pants you can support more activity
than you did.

Yes, I had the same problem. Changed the oring to viton - I always use the mil-h-83282
fluid. I'm sure I would've had a fire with 5606 fluid.....

Do you happen to have the viton part number for the Cleveland calipers?

Dave, you definitely want the high-temp brake fluid (cheap
at Skygeek.com), and the viton o-rings. They'll hold up
much better. On my site, I have the viton part number on
one of my write-ups:
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/maintenance/20080503/index.html
Just search Viton on the page and you find:
The Viton o-rings are M83248/1-224 V-75
I bought some additional ones from McMaster Carr.
1201T856 MIL-Spec Viton(R) Fluoroelastomer O-Ring,
AS568A Dash Number 224, packs of 10
I also got these as spares...I think these were for the prop:
4198T265 MIL-Spec Buna-N O-Ring, A75 Durometer,
AS568A Dash Number 228, packs of 25
Good luck,
Tim
