cub brakes

Your question isn't clear, but you can remove the complete final drives as assemblies. Do yourself a favor and follow the directions in the manual to use a sling and hoist. When you have the finals pulled out the brake work will be self evident.

Hint: Plan to replace the seals at the differential case... the bad seals leaking is the most likely reason you need to fix the brakes. The seals are usually bad because some hero decides he can do the job without a hoist and damages the seals.

Few times have I torn something loose that the repair was "self-evident".

:-)

If George wrote the I&T Manual, it would be far more useful than it is at it's current best use which for me is primarily as a paper weight..... not even a good one at that.

George explains things in such a way that even mechanically challenged folk such as myself have been able to fix and maintain our Cubs.

If George says it is sef-evident, then it is self-evident and anybody who knows what end is the business end of a wrench could fix it..

That kind of comment really was uncalled for.

Really, it is self-evident. If you can't figure out how the brakes work on a Cub, put down the wrench and just walk away... There's a metal wheel on the axle with a brake band around it. The metal wheel is fastened to the axle with a set screw and a woodruff key. It's not rocket science.

One of the brake wheels on my Cub came loose, and the woodruff key fell out. From what I've heard, that's a pretty common problem.
