Default Wheels and Breaks
I am replacing the tires and break pads on My RV9A. Does any one know the part # of the wheel assy and the break caliper? I need them to find the torque values for the wheel halves and the caliper back plate tie bolts. The torque value for the wheels should be on the sticker on the inside of rims: However the data is worn off. The construction manual says to follow the break MFG torque specs???

That helps. I did find the torque on the nose wheel halves in the Vans construction manual and they get torqued to 50 - 70 inch lbs. I still would like to know the actual part numbers. thx

Not sure! Built in 2006. can't see any markings. The only thing that I know is the brake disc is Parker/Cleveland because it is marked.
