Brake pads
« on: May 21, 2025, 01:45:44 AM »
I have my coach in the shop now. The shop said that my rear passenger side brake pads are gone but the other side looks practically new. If memory serves me right, I believe the brake pads are Meritor brakes requiring a special grease. Can you even get these pads anymore? What options do I have to replace these pads?

I don't know whether the information in this post is correct. But the link does address the brake grease types you asked about.

Again, I don't know whether the information in this post is correct regarding brake part numbers.

Thanks for the input, David. I called Beaver Coach Sales and they do have brake pads. However, they need to know what style rotor I have. Apparently the Patriot thunder had two different styles or rotors. One of the styles is a Bendix rotor, but I can’t remember what the other style was. Does anybody know what style rotor was primarily used on a 2002 patriot thunder?
