Ball joint puller for the anchor pins. Heat on the spider is not the best unless u have to. Load up on the puller with your impact then use a mini sledge to hit the puller. Will come out every time with no heat. Just my 2 cents. Always good to try new tricks.

Hey dude . I’ve been following you for a while now ,and you are super handy and smart . I have a 5 axle flatbed trialer , and every single brake on her don’t release Except the front lift axle brakes , so I am guessing my problem is behind the first lift axle air tank ,because I ran alcohol in it and I drained all the tanks ,and I didn’t seem to notice any alcohol coming out off my train valve except the very front lift axle tanks . I spent so much money on this trialer , and every shop tells me something different. I do work on my truck & trialer myself, and I did pull all wheels to check and there is nothing wrong . What happens is every time push my brakes regardless easy or hard they stick and keep heating up till they smoke . All brakes are adjusted according to the stroke length, I thought they tighten up in the beginning, but they don’t ,they just won’t release. The drag isn’t crazy , it feels like the brakes are holding about 10 -20 psi in pressure only . Something else .... everytime I pull my trialer parking brakes when I’m parked at my yard , the valve ( brakes valve on the trialer ) keeps leaking and then engages after about 20-30 seconds . Could that be my problem? It is not that cold in Ontario yet, but I heated up all off my trailers valves today ,and drained the tanks . I noticed black greasy moisture coming out of my tanks .

Best method for doing the anchor pins I've found is heating the spider red hot then using a ball joint press to pop out the pin. Then heat the sleeve red hot and try bending it up over itself near the slit on the sleeve. Takes an extra 15 minutes at most per axle

Put pivot side springs on first. Put shoes on without rollers. Hook s cam spring on the top hanger use a short pry bar with a v cut. Go in below s cam and put the v on the top off the bottom coil and pry down to hook it. Pry each shoe up to install rollers. Faster than his method and you dont have to worry about the pivot springs flying.

Really hard on auto slack adjusters backing them off. Back them off enough to remove the drum,it's a necessary evil. Peel the shoes off then rotate the adjuster nut clockwise till the cam rolls around 180'. Way easier on the ratchet inside the slack adjuster. Besides that, the cams will wear on the opposite side of the shaft. For the brake springs there is a tool for them especially if there's backing plates. Good video but maybe he should have at least measured the drum before throwing it back on.

I know it rachets/ auto adjusts the slack adjuster, replaces the small arm behind the main connection to the brake chambers. But why is that adjustable? Doesn't the slack adjuster rachet 360 degrees? (as in the rectangular rod can be moved around the slack adjuster, as in why is that part adjustable and what difference does it make?).
