Hi, all. I'm new to this forum and a volunteer maintainer of a crown 30SCTT for a non-profit educational organization (hackerspace/makerspace/community workshop). We acquired a 30SCTT a while back and it has been a workhorse for us. The brakes are starting to squeak, and I wanted to get a look at the pads to see how worn they are. Talking with our local dealer, my understanding is that 8 pads are required to be changed if they are worn.

I took a wheel off hoping to get a look at the pads, but it seems that with this lift the brakes are in the motor assembly. It appears to me there is a plate on the wheel assembly on the opposite side of the wheel that is intended to come off. Unfortunately, the mast is blocking access to remove the plate. It seems like I could either removing the wheel assembly or removing the mast mount is needed to get access to that plate.

I am wondering if someone here knows the best way to get access to inspect and change the brakes on this lift.

Thanks much,

Scott
