Brake, bearings, parts questions

[Jls8177]

Greetings,

I'm looking for advice on brakes (isn't everyone?)

I had some wheel seals leaking and they covered the rear pads in oil. After pulling apart, the bearings are bad as well. Sourcing parts from MCI, i'm around $3k without new drums. This includes bearings, retainer, wiper on 2nd axle. 2nd and 3rd axle brakes, pins, springs, seals, a few studs, but NO drums.

Is there an aftermarket source that I can get quotes from that will have all of these parts? Just don't want to spend too much.

Here is my list:

  I just had my M/H repaired exactly like you need,,my coach sits on a Spartan chassis, very simular to yours  I had all wheel seals, axel seals and brake kits (called a stop box) in trucking circles, installed (no machining on the drums) including labor at a local heavy truck maint. shop at a total cost of $1230.00.>>>Dan. (You may have a tag so would be a little more)

Call luke @ us coach he will have all the parts probably on hand.

[luvrbus]

All the parts can be found after market except the studs ( MCI thinks those are made of gold) the MCI has Rockwell brakes.The problem is crossing MCI numbers over,Mohawk or Luke can do it and Mohawk is a lot cheaper than MCI and you can order with the MCI numbers.Brake jobs on a 3 axle bus can run 7000 to 8000 bucks like you if need DD-3's you can add another 1500 to 2500 to the parts, but how do put a price on stopping a bus ? 1200 won't cover the rear axle for cost if a shop does it.I would call Mohawk ,Luke and Jefferson in OKC OK

I agree with Mohawk. Used them several times for parts sucessfully.

Consider your freight and also shoe cores if they are worth it, drums?= pallet time!
Man I was just looking at the hub drum dolly yesterday, that would have been nice, wonder how well they work.

Vendors already been said and maybe some locals in your area.
Good luck on your mission Jason

Thank you all so much, I'll call around Monday.

I was waiting for an email notification that someone had responded to the thread, I guess this forum doesn't do that:)

Thanks again!
