replacing 30-30 brake "cans" - chambers on drive axles 1983 peterbilt 359
video that shows how to cage brakes.
• brake can repair type ...

[@dchawk81]

I like your attitude. Replace it all so you know, and keep your parts inventory as simple as possible.

[@david.drambareanu]

I do the same way like you 👍

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Two videos in a week! Must be Christmas!

[@Ezrider359]

You know it!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

I like keeping everything uniform. i also like to start with new brake chambers. at least we know those will be ok for a few years. i like the name change. much easier for me to remember. nice smooth job ezra. have a great holiday!

[@Ezrider359]

Main reason I went ahead and changed all of them was because rather than carrying a brake can for on the road repairs I Cary a half can and a pancake gasket much quicker to do in a parking lot should you have a brake can start leaking while you're away from home

[@christopherwilliams4647]

I agree %100

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

YES !!! Another video on old red! You just made my day.

[@Ezrider359]

Enjoy!

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

if you still have the air leak issue pull the orange hose out of the relay valve under the fifth wheel between the abs modulator valves, the factory paints the air line before installing cabs and then plug the line into the cab and the paint migrates to the relay valve and causes air to leak past the oring on the diaphram, excellent job on instructing others on how to properly install a brake chamber, only thing you did not cover is the two hole positions on the scam tube,

[@mrtruckdriver2834]

The most straightforward, easy to understand videos, without all the jibber jabber. And good camera positioning, and explanations. Thanks

[@familytraditiontransportat7951]

My other half gets frustrated sometimes when I do a project, and end up replacing brake cans and then that leads to new slack adjusters and air lines.. If it looks like it's worn, it's getting replaced while I'm there. Don't want to take it all back apart in a few weeks cuz I got lazy or cheap.

[@DRH20]

Great video, changing all 6 cans on my dump truck today and this was the best information out there.

[@spottedhoss1920]

Good video pal, I'm amazed how many young drivers do not know how to cage a brake pot. It's good that guys like you are able to share the knowledge

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks 👍

[@stevecannard5996]

Drive a truck enough , and your guaranteed to learn , one way or another ..

[@jermainesmith5466]

It’s a good thing you’re a mechanic you save a whole Lotta money doing it yourself

[@dptp9lf]

I have a long story that i'm going to make short on this topic... when i was young, stupid, and learning things the hard way, i decided i was going to change a leaky pancake in one of these without knowing about that 1700lb spring was in there. I got very lucky and didn't get hit in the face... it hit me in the sternum and completely knocked me out. I was ok after that so hard lesson learned. This was back in the day when the canisters were clamped together. Great Video

[@Ezrider359]

ouch!

[@willytorrez990]

YOU R. THE BEST. THANK YOU. I HAVE LEARN ALOT. BY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. THANK U.

[@sodapop8408]

I’ve said it before I will say it again Mad Skills!!! I hope you have a bunch of young drivers watching your channel because you are big help to these young guys just getting into the business.Do it right the 1st time and you can’t go wrong.

[@Android_Warrior]

That last big impact tool you use on that nut, HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ezrider359]

when your done playing around, come loose or snap take your choice bolt...lol

[@Android_Warrior]

[@davinderpalsinghthind291]

Sir your videos is always helpful and money saving! Thanks for post

[@Forsaken_Angel_of_Darkness]

Famous last words. Definitely true words. I keep trying not to mention how good things are turning out when im working on something

[@faith4freedom76]

Few months old but I feel your pain. Under there and struggling with bolt that won't divorce the truck...absolute bish! Appreciate the content buddy!!

[@dalephillips8250]

Awesome job and nice tutorial......I applaud you for just changing them all....I only do the one that's leaking.

[@mattbainbridge3857]

For shits and giggles 😆😆 I haven’t heard that expression in ages. Another great informative video. 🤙🏼 Merry Christmas from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Yose7492]

Your knowledge of everything mechanical is astounding

[@benelkins2510]

Changed all 5 of my u-joints too. Smooth as glass.

[@rongilbert5322]

Old red just keeps looking better. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos and that’s helped keep my 76 359 Pete rolling. Merry Christmas from Texas Ezra.

[@dearanel936]

I really enjoy the way you put the stopper back in the stop so keep on stopping I love it

[@robertotoledo1910]

Super interesting you’ll be amazed the above details are you described makes a huge difference I kind of found out that our way of mine, but a big hello 👋 to you my friend and thank you for everything and thank you for sharing with us, 👋👌👍👍👍💪

[@jasonnoonzio3473]

Good to see you're replacing all 4 .. that's how I do it . No messing around . You know it's good to go to work

[@davidbusscher1607]

I really like your music choices. At the beginning plus the jazz that you chosen for the time laps segments. Thank you for all your videos. I've been following since you bought "Old Red" and have been enjoying them.

[@humbesand1741]

am learn with all yours video, idk english but i use translator and learn a lot with you and with my truck, bless you from texas..:)

[@whatsups3045]

South Main Auto may have an airhammer called "Big Nasty", you have the air gun version of it! Let's call it "Big Bertha"!

[@MrYahoo74]

When all else fails get the 3/4 gun 😆 Have a merry Christmas Ezra

[@raduberaru9369]

Most of the times in my garage...

[@sherisposhdesigns]

Very old school my husband does the same thing and puts the caging bolts in his toolbox. Makes using them a whole lot easier when they are not seized.

[@borisparrill]

👍 awesome job on your videos and thanks for helping people out

[@Boze0415]

Love the put it back together music. 😎 Joy to watch you teach and work professor. Stay safe and God bless you.

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks, you too!

[@ericcorse]

A good day videos from JC, Ezra and Matt's off road recovery. Y'all have a merry Christmas. I need to add Western Truck repair and Watch Wes Work

[@christianzavala7946]

You are a real mechanic and truck builder 👍🏻

[@w056007568]

I would agree with your general philosophy that brakes and steering are the most important issues where as most people are concerned primarily with will it start and move and give little thought, until it is too late, to be sure that they can slow, stop and park the vehicle safely whatever the size or type the vehicle happens to be! Excellent clear and detailed video on this topic, well done. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your family.

[@brianburns7211]

There lots of truth in that statement.

[@vaughncowan4055]

You are a good teacher. Thanks

[@tommyhall350]

You an your family have a great holidays keep warm an safe

[@Ezrider359]

Same to you

[@alanwilkinson5152]

Brilliant Ezra love your videos especially fitting instructions Alan Northern Ireland 👍

[@david.drambareanu]

I like your channel buddy. I run an old 1999 STERLING FORD AT9500 with a CAT 3406 2WS and 18 speed 3.21 ratio diffs.

[@christopherwilliams4647]

Been watching this build since the beginning. Can’t wait to see this truck in service!!!!!

[@jamescorcoran4684]

Thank you for such a great way to service the brake chambers.

[@rmbuser]

Thanks so much and a Merry Christmas to you and your Loved ones!!!

[@trevorbarlow3911]

I love watching your videos they are so informative and even though I don't own a truck I still like to watch Keep up the great work and I will continue to watch.

[@TheDodgeRamGuy]

You and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@Ezrider359]

Happy holidays!

[@TheDodgeRamGuy]

Thank you

[@cullenmiller8170]

You just had to say it at 7.25 and jinx yourself. I haven’t watched the rest of the video yet, but if it was me the hot wrench would be coming out pretty quickly. 🤣🤣

[@yhird]

Great work Ezrider359.

[@donnebes9421]

Merry Christmas Ezra, and everyone else watching this video.

[@JP.TDAR1]

Nice work brother I'm about to get into mine😅

[@behroozkhaleghirad]

I love watching and learning from you. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@quintinvandermeulen1513]

Always nice en interresting to wach your video's. Thanks.

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks for watching!

[@nightrider6769]

Boy do I remember doing brake chambers I hated doing them on my back. But then a company worked for had a pit and that made it easy. Over my 15-year career I probably did hundreds of break cans and a few that were rusty and crusty crunch cage the spring because the damn hole was all rusted out that one was a dangerous can got it off though without hurting myself or anybody else.

[@warrenjohnston6869]

Great videos Ezyrider. Don't worry about the grippers who make pathetic comments about your work. Most of them couldn't run a cold bath without help. As for the comments about your workshop being untidy. they more than likely don't even have a wood shed. Great work and carry on.

[@terrancewagner5056]

ive needed torches most times ive done this task michigan roads tough on things..good job i enjoy your videos

[@Ezrider359]

we get our fair share of roadsalt here in nd as well, not quite as bad as Michigan tho.

[@0796logsplitter]

Wow!!! That truck is a credit to all your hard work. I’ve watched all 37 episodes and loved the ride 👍 wish we had trucks like that in the U.K. merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all from the U.K. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🎄🎄🎄

[@JamesPretty]

I think i've watched every EP on the Peterbilt. its a great series. im just starting to restore a couple K100 big bunks and started a channel.. look forward to seeing more from you

[@alantorres106]

well thank you because you just explained an issue with my truck i been having for months. time to get that fixed

[@Ezrider359]

Glad I could help

[@ghodgeco]

Merry Christmas, Ezra! Watch your head 😮

[@brucehodges7889]

Another job you make look so easy. I always put anti-seize on the clevis pins cuz I hate it when they seize up either on the slack or the clevis. Not so much on the tractor but on trailers that might sit for a while. I actually found some greasable pins but are a little pricey compared to plain ones...

[@bledarjoka1795]

love your videos my man, thanks

[@diaznevai8624]

Great video on the old red 👍👍

[@rjhtrucking5429]

Merry Christmas pal . I love your video's, you are an inspiration to me. I'm English and slowly working towards my immigration. As soon as i get it, I plan to buy a cabover and start hauling and working on my truck , just like you do.

[@erichouser6337]

Like always brother very informative, your friend from Larned kansas Eric Houser.

[@psavel274]

Man, old red looks prettier everytime I see her. Nice job on those cans. I agree, makes sense to do em once as a set and be done with it. Less worries and you were already there anyway. Bummer about the vice, but I can't say I haven't seen shit like that before. Can't wait to see the interior go in! You have a Merry Christmas sir!👍😎

[@mattberg916]

Good advice about the cage bolts. When you need them , you don't need to fight with them. Clean and dry is a good way to start . Merry Christmas to all!

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Great job Ezra, you are a man of skill. Also noticed that you changed the channel name, good call, easier to find your vids for the newcomers. Happy NEW YEAR

[@frank9649]

Wow! I always purchase brake cans that come with new clevises and pins...gotta make sure the clevis is the same size tho...and the pins or make sure you have bushings on hand if they're smaller :)

[@ronnyvandenheuvel9049]

nice informativ video again ez,,you make it all so easy for all us ,keep up the good work buddy....i really like your video's

[@MichaelWilliams0311]

As always, good content Ezra! Happy Holidays!

[@sjp52047]

Thanks for the video, and Merry Christmas to you and yours, may 2021 be less of a challenge to us all. Regards, Solomon

[@isaacmontoya9144]

Very good info .... also I tend to buy new clevis .. tired of fighting em..lol

[@Ezrider359]

Yeah I even grabbed a couple I was going to use but I got the wrong pin dia. Nothing wrong with the old ones tho

[@charlesb4267]

I've learned that too, have clevises on hand of both the 1/2 and 5/8 pin size as well as spare pins as often the clevis or pin is garbage or by the time it comes off the truck it is !. Standard stroke Bendix 30/30 pots I buy come with a clevis but its always the 1/2 pin size typical to fit steer axle or trailer and not the 5/8 pin typical for drive axles. I felt your pain ( hit on the head ) as its an awful awkward place to be working and those darned 5/8 studs on the pot can have their nuts rusted on/threads mangled so bad and be forced into using the hot knife to cut it right off if its bad enough. Although not mentioned, often a person has to loosen off the service brake pot clamp just enough to rotate the air ports around to line up properly and I like to have the two clamp bolts to the sides or at least not have one directly at the bottom as that is just one more thing to get snagged on when crawling around under the truck or get hit in off road situations. WAY better to be doing a job like this in your heated shop vs be on the road with known pots on their last legs and forced to deal with it on the side of the road.

[@albertman900]

Ez! merry Christmas, Hope you are able to get a new vice before the end of the year.

[@donrotenberry6571]

Great video. If you've been good Santa might bring you a new HD vice. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your wife,

[@charlesroer972]

Damn good , and the Antisieze a little goes a long way for future work especially when need to get er done , with out takin all day to do this .

[@aaronching5129]

Thank u, very well done video.

[@stephenadams5293]

Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@Ezrider359]

Happy holidays!

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Mine is back feeding through the valve. I can bump the trailer valve and it stops. That is without a trailer hooked up. Guess I'm going to have to replace the cans on mine. That or the main valve feeding them at the rear end. Merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing Ol Red on the road. And you making videos of day to day trucking in it.

[@TheAbyraju]

I likes to watch your videos. Interesting

[@StjerneDK]

Love the videos! Merry Christmas🎄 Greetings from Denmark

[@Ezrider359]

Glad you like them!

[@MCMLXXXIV1984]

Great job, EZ! Maybe you could have added, that the parking brake needs pressure to release the brake which is applied by a big ass spring as soon as the pressure in the system is released.

[@Ezrider359]

i did i explained how there is another diphram in the park brake side that uses air pressure to compress the spring to retract the rod to release the parking brake.

[@Dave-1277]

Merry Christmas to you and yours Ezra! Thanks for another kick ass video!

[@Bmw533ia]

Well done, and a merry Christmas Ezra. Regards from Norway. :)

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks 👍

[@bigdawgsbusa2]

My least favorite too but when you gotta do them you do. My other favorite is slack adjuster the best tool investment i made was a slack adjuster puller it made my life a breeze once you do one with out a puller you soon appreciate one

[@73DiamondReo]

good information. merry christmas

[@Ezrider359]

Happy holidays!

[@ronthompson3525]

Brakes! Some how I became the (brake) specialist out our shop. I’m not sure if was because I knew what I was doing or no one else wanted to do them. Any way another great video. Merry Christmas 🎁

Well u got more patients than me i would've had the hot spanner out by now lol lol u would think by now manufactures would just turn those holes so u can get a impact on them ay just a small change would make a huge difference 😉
