I just posted up a video showing my inspection of the Rockwell/Meritor ADB disc brake inspection on my youtube channel.
Overall the condition of my brakes were surprisingly good. The pads looked good as well as the rotors. The only difficulty was the bottom pin that secures the slide pins were stuck and took quite a bit of work to get them freed up so I could get them out. I damaged them so that they were not able to be re-used. Before I damaged them, I did check and ordered the replacement parts and had them in hand before I really went after them with implements of destruction.
I think that I am going to go ahead and order new slide pins and bushings for next time, and go ahead and change them. Now it should be easier to do the work since most of the time I spent getting those bottom retainer pins out.
Here is a link to the video:
