Description
What does a brake dust cap do?
This brake dust cap serves as a critical protective component within the braking system. By sealing the assembly, it limits the amount of dust, water, and road salt that can reach the brake lining, drum, and adjuster mechanism. This protection is vital for extending the service life of these components and maintaining consistent braking performance.Vehicle and system compatibility
The part is engineered to be compatible with BPW systems. Using high-strength components ensures that the seal remains effective even under harsh operating conditions common in heavy commercial vehicle service.Installation and maintenance
For proper maintenance, technicians should inspect the cap during every lining service or drum removal. It is important to ensure the cap sits fully in its seat without being forced. Removing rust and dirt from the mounting edge before installation helps ensure a secure fit and prevents premature wear of the braking components.Troubleshooting and service
If a cap is found to be cracked or hardened, it should be replaced immediately to prevent abrasive particles from entering the drum assembly. Maintaining these small components is key to preventing unnecessary maintenance intervals for the entire brake system.OE cross-reference
311.01.0070 (Brake Dust Cap Brake Dust Cover) is the equivalent of the BPW OE numbers. This part directly replaces BPW OE numbers 9900000097, 9900000131.Other OEMs

FAQ
What is the purpose of a brake dust cap?
The cap protects the brake lining, drum, and adjuster mechanism by preventing dust, water, and salt from entering the assembly.
How can I know if my brake dust cap needs replacement?
Check for cracks, hardening of the material, or a loose fit during routine lining or drum service.
Can I install a new cap without cleaning the seat?
It is recommended to clean all rust and dirt from the seat edge first to ensure it fits correctly without being forced.
What happens if a brake dust cap is missing?
A missing cap allows dirt and water into the drum, which can quickly abrade the lining and damage the braking system.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
311.01.0070 directly replaces BPW OE numbers 9900000097, 9900000131.
