For those of you who have the Grove regular (non-airfoil, two piece aluminum) landing gear and the standard Cleveland brakes I have a question.
While making and installing the brake lines I noticed that it would not be possible to remove the caliper to change brake pads without disconnecting the brake lines. Looking at the pictures of the left main wheel you can see why:
In order to get that caliper off, it has to slide inboard on the two pins. Unfortunately, the fitting and line hit the inner wheel pant bracket before the caliper can slide far enough to come off and provide access to the inner brake pads.
I have double checked the plans and I am pretty sure I have everything in the right place, but I have to be missing something since others have not reported having to remove the lines to change brakes.
So what am I doing wrong here?
