Brake pad #
Pad from prevost # not in stock . Looked their supplier number 15625kt up saw picture doesn’t match. Called Bendix/Knoor-bremse. Meritor#15625 for SB7704 cal. Question I have is my pads have Jurrid539FF20 stamped on them and fit perfect. The 15625kt calls for a differant inside and outside pad. Anyone changed theirs before? Were pads differant? Taking it to Prevost is not in my budget. I can do work myself. Either set is $244 for both sides of tag. Can’t seem to find cross over from Jurrid to Meritor. Bob

Bob, Don’t take this as the gospel because I am going by memory, but I believe the differences in pads, hence the two part numbers is because they are different thicknesses based on whether the pad is an inside or outside pad. Since they are sold in sets I suspect most folks ignore the different part numbers. Without looking I cannot tell you which is the thicker pad position.
Don’t hesitate to call Prevost with questions. They have always answered questions and they might be able to head you in the right direction. As a further comment I have had great luck with Prevost Parts in Elgin getting trade numbers for parts. The parts guys are knowledgible and if the information is available to them they share the generic part numbers.

We too have had great success with Prevost parts in Elgin… prices on many items are cheaper than other places but they are higher on some parts… folks here love to chime in with info if they find a cheaper part somewhere else… saves us a lot of trouble and money… but Prevost do have the cheapest parts on many items and terrific parts service… they ship when they say they will etc..
They have always bent over backwards for us !!

We live about 15 miles NW of Prevost parts in Elgin (and 28 miles straight west of Liberty). They have always been very helpful for me. The Bad news is they don’t have any parts. The good news is, Prevost pays the shipping from any of their parts depots.
When it comes to brake pads, Prevost parts was not the best deal (air bags, you bet). In March of 2009, I bought steer axle pads complete for that axle for $1490. The Prevost part number for mine is 62-1371 which was crossed to CFD-268. Got them from Central States Coach Parts, Inc. in Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007 phone 847-363-4788. They can cross Prevost part numbers for you.
This company also operates in Grand Prairie, Texas and Commerce City Colorado.

#364 instead of 363 I’ll call tomorrow. I ck online prevo and showed no stock anywhere. Bob

Great info… thanks Dan !! We all want to save $$$ when possible !!
You’re right that Elgin doesn’t stock the parts which is good for us as ours come out of Prevost Ft Worth for the most part and come UPS the next day with out charge ( and we are 200 miles from Ft Worth)… we love that. !!!

need to change 363 to 364 I can’t change your post Thanks Bob

Thanks Bob, the eyes are getting old. I checked my cell phone, and you are correct – 364. Did you get a price on pads? From memory, seems like the tag took the same pad part number as the steer. But my memory is as old as my eyes.

Awaiting call back. Parts guy was checking stock. If I don’t hear back today will call him back tomorrow. I’m sure the $141 online price is old-Prob the $149 price you remember. Anything under the $244 I found is big savings. Thanks Bob

These pics are from my bus and may not be like yours.
If not someone else may want to see them.

These pics are from the front. The tag are the same except for the chambers.
Note: the slak adjuster clevis pin is missing in the pic.

Jim is on a streak with great photos.
That particular brake style is typical of the caliper found on coaches with drum drive brakes and disk steer and tag brakes.
There are a couple of things to note. The brake chamber shown is a combo, which means it is a service as well as a parking brake. That combo brake chamber would be on the tag axle only.
The grease fittings shown are very NEVER to have grease pumnped into them until it pops out somewhere. Those fittings are to lube the rotating shaft from the slack adjuster and it important to make sure when your bus is lubed that those fittings are to get a very small shot of grease. Nothing more. Excessive grease in those fittings can inhibit brake release. This is one reason why you need to make sure anyone lubing a coach actually knows what they are doing.

I know I’m repeating myself, but those grease fittings being over greased as Jon pointed out will not allow the pads to retract and you’ll cook the rotors or worse. If you get your bus lubed, check the temps of the hubs on the steer or tag after driving 50 miles or so to be sure the calipers weren’t over greased.
