since your brake drums were not exactly centered, were you getting a vibration or bumping from them going down the road?

Ya bro you need to remember them jack stands and scotch a tire or two. Better be safe than sorry. Im a tractor trailer mechanic of about 25 years. I'd also get the proper torque wrench and torque them nuts on steers and drive tires. 500 foot pounds

For starters how about a jack stand and not trust a 50 cent o ring to support the truck. A pair of pliers to release the lock on that mertoir slack is just wrong go buy the correct tools. These videos are what give good journeyman techs a bad name U get what you pay for this is the fourth video I’ve watched tonight bored and let to see one done correct It’s just sad

I have a 1in air impact as well would i still have to torque it ?
@serg11845 жыл бұрын
I always give them about a 1/4-1/2 turn after the lug hits the rim on the first round and then I come around and hit them for another half turn after that. You’ll need about 450-500 ft lbs of torque which a 1” should have plenty. I’ve been doing it for almost 15 years and never had a problem.

@illidan2ify6 жыл бұрын
One thing I recommend doing is clean your s-cam off! Any grease on it will cause rollers to slide and flat spot the s-cam. And while you’re in there check s-cam end play and bushing wear by pulling in/out and up down. And also check where the old ones were riding on the drum before removal. If they’re walking off the drum you may want to get a s-cam rebuild.
@calebfavela15476 жыл бұрын
So aren't you supposed to adjust the s-cam back or does it adjust itself?
@serg11846 жыл бұрын
Caleb Favela yes you’re supposed to adjust them yourself, if you fast forward to 10:35 you’ll see how I explain how to adjust them : )

An over-the-road driver friend had his own trucks and he would change his own flatbed trailer brake shoes and service his (oil-filled) hubs and hub seals all without unbolting the 8 dual (10-hole Budd wheel rims, with their tires..) from the hubs. He'd put a piece of clean 1/4" steel plate (of adequate dimension, and lightly greased on the top surface) underneath the duals. Adjust his jack so the tires/rims/hub/drum assembly was just sitting on the greased steel plate (no trailer weight). Drain the hubs and remove the spindle nuts and slide the whole deal straight off the spindle on the greased steel plate. Change out the shoes and whatever brake parts needed, check the oil seals and slide the whole thing back on. (of course, this only works assuming your bake drums are still okay and don't need changing....). Saves a good bit of time.

amer a3a2 I payed 175 for that impact back in 2011, I've done many brake jobs and tires with it. I agree 1" impacts can get expensive if you don't do your research, but if you shop around you can also save money on doing the brakes, tools and parts.

Harbor Freight has several 1" impacts from $100 to $300. I run same off my truck air tank with 1/2 inch hose. Have saved 10s of thousands of dollars over the last 20 yrs. By doing my own brakes, changing tires and blow outs on the road. One road call to fix a blown tire is at least a thousand dollars.
