I take a day off and..... Well anyway. (sigh) Tech has a brake problem on our Crown RC-5545-40 and in my absence installs a whole new brake assembly on the LH side. Machine won't work properly so he calls in CROWN tech and he loads up some new software, and away she goes. EXCEPT they ( Both the tech guy and CROWN dealer tech) tell me they could not tighten the 3 brake mounting bolts to their liking?? They had to leave them "loose" so that the brake disc had proper clearance and did not overheat??
LH Brake Part # 136830.
Is there a special torque rating for these bolts? I am not comfortable with " loose " bolts on a brake assembly.
Anybody work on these things?
Crown tech guy still hasn't got back to us with anything from CROWN.
