Abstract
A brake unit and a brake unit mounting and leveling device are disclosed. The brake unit includes a U-shaped brake housing and a first friction element affixed to one housing leg. A stator is carried at least partially within the housing and slides on brake mounting bolts which extend through the housing legs. The bolts also extend through a mounting bracket fixed to a vehicle axle housing. A leveler bracket is affixed to the mounting bracket and bears against one housing leg so as to tip the brake unit from a canted position to a position in which the brake friction elements are carried substantially parallel with the brake discs.
