[@cassiuspuckett8789]

You made that look so easy, I've fought those brake cans for as much as 3 hrs they were so rusted and seized in place. I usually replace the clevis and pin with new ones but nothing wrong with reusing the old ones. Nice job...

[@leewatkins1610]

i cut the clevis pin y,day with a cuttin torch,,i worry about fire all the time so had a hose pulled out and ready...I wish he would have helped me with push pull air lines ..a real problem when they are old

That was really helpful... In a different way for me! It's helping me recreate more accurate Models. It does blow my mind that there's no Backing Plates on those Drum Brakes!!! 😳 I can't imagine a Car or Light Truck without them.

[@Ezrider359]

its quite common on semi's to not have backing plates

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@Ezrider359 I'm quickly learning that. I'm guessing that it helps keep the Brakes cooler and dryer, not having a heavy Backing Plate closing in what has to be 5X to 10X the HEAT of a sub 2 Ton Car.

Hey just a little tip when doing a pm and service taking some oil "new or used" put a few drops on the clevis and pin and work it in by moving the pin back and forward to keep from rusting up and making it difficult to remove the pin comming from a fleet mechanic

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Never did much adjusting with the newer adjusters but toted a 9/16ths snap-on combo someone gave me and always set my own brakes. That way I could see how hard I was being on them Pulled them tight and backed off 1/4. Never lost over 1.4 between services so I was doing all right. The other drivers said I'd get fired if they caught me with it. I'd have showed it to them and said to have at it. I only used it when it was time BUT you never knew when one of the old adjusters was going to to spin out. I set other drivers brakes all the time that had bad adjusters that never got changed. I still have the wrench but my mower don't have adjusters! Thanks, Ezra! Burn fuel and GBWYou and Yall!

Great video. I am trying to learn watching these ! Why did you not have to cage the spring brake before removing the can ? I just helped a friend put a new can on his crane truck and I compressed the spring before we tried to unbolt the can ? I figured the brake was fully spring applied and it had to be caged before removing! The old can had clevis welded to the piston rod, so Cut it off and welded the new nut to the clevis and threaded the clevis onto the new piston shaft .It worked out nicely but was just curious about the spring brake ! Thanks for the videos !

[@Forsaken_Angel_of_Darkness]

[@perrywannamaker1969]

Ez have u saw the gages u can get for the push rods with the adjuster arrows. there only a couple of bucks for each wheel and after installation it's just a visual and if the pointer is between the two indicaters your good to go we have been using them for 10 years or so and they are fantastic. we have them on a couple hundred trucks. well worth the money less crawling under the vehicle and dot likes to. when they see you are in spec. they usually don't dig any farther. unless its really obvious. BTW that anti seize saves a lot of agrivation I use it on every thing especially if you know u will have to go there again and saves alot of Liquid wrench especially when you're along the road with out it.

[@ScottYdo]

Would it be easier to remove the Clevis pin before you dynamite the trailer? And remove the air lines while brake chamber is still mounted. How did you check the length of the push rod? Vise on sale at Canadian tire. I wouldn’t tighten the jam but till it is connected to the slack adjuster. Good job, glad to see it worked out for you. 👍👍🎯

[@Volcker1929]

Interesting, thank you.

[@karllockhart5853]

Sorry wrong length, if the spring in the chamber is worn or broken thee push rod will be short. Then you will cut the new push rod too short. In the UK we call this a brake chamber not a can and the new one comes with a locking pin in the rear. This holds the chamber in a resting position. You take your measurements while the old unit is fitted in the rest position and cut the new chamber accordingly. (HGV mechanic 30 years).

[@Ezrider359]

Return spring was broken not the park brake spring. To measure with the brake caged would have been more likely to result in error. You still want to check the angle of the slack adjuster before and after regardless of how you get your measurement

[@karllockhart5853]

@@Ezrider359 I understand what you are saying about the return spring, but the correct procedure is to measure with the park brake spring caged and would never result in a failure. If you are working on an old unit the spring will be weak and therefore the pushrod would be slightly shorter. This will result in in a failure as the diaphragm isn't seated properly or the adjuster will have to be altered.

[@karllockhart5853]

@@Ezrider359 just out of interest, the number on the chamber is the pressure that it puts out in kgf. So as this is metric, was just wondering what it means to you in imperial measurements?

[@Ezrider359]

If you're going to touch the band clamps for any reason the brake must be caged otherwise the spring energy is contained within the chamber itself. If the slack adjuster is loose and your just removing the whole chamber caging is unnecessary.
