Administration Garage Bay Nevi Brake Test Engineer Comments Really don't clean that much, hut ve do soma air blov-off. No more air blov-off at VEG. We purchased a special vacuum arrangement for attachment to vacuum plate. Disc brakes do not develop dust. Use vacuum type removal so ve don't blow asbestos dust m air. Not good to blov out dust. We sometime brush out We sometimes tap it (the dust) out - then use lav air blov-off But ve generally brush it out because the dust is bad. We could easily live vithout air blov-off if ve had vacuum means. We use vacuum cleaner almost 1 the time. We sometimes vipe or brush off dust. We use very little blov-off. We could do vithout it easily. Not too much maintenance on brakes. We use vacuum. Very litzie air blov-off. We could do vithout blov-off altogether. We vacuum out vhen ve do it. We vacuum out vhen ve do it. Usually use vacuum, hut sometimes use air blov-off. No problem 'doing vithout blcrv-off. We usually blov it out vith air gun. Don't have too much brake vork in this regard. We can easily live vithout blov-off. We can brush, vipe, vacuum. We do not do this type vork, but It vould be best to vacuum. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS 1.
