FL70 repairs - Air brakes and kingpins

In this video, I do a complete brake job on the FL70 dump truck, including seized anchor pins and new wheel seals. I also need to replace the kingpin thrust bearings, so I end up doing a kingpin job.

Jesse doesn't seem to be afraid of anything!!! He literally does more different things than anyone I've seen on the net!

[@bin_chicken80]

There's so many great elements in this video: * Home made tools * A lot of hammering * Ingenuity * Using tools to do heavy lifting * Minimal talking, plenty of doing, good explanations * Persistence * Skill * Patience I'm sure I've missed some. I'm probably never going do any of these jobs but feel you can learn so much more than just the repair. These are the best type of KZbin videos. Amazing work. Thanks!

[@onjofilms]

I just wished my wife had the element of minimal talking.

[@mdouglaswray]

Damn, those kingpins put up a fight!

[@scottpollard3270]

Jesse...comments section is where the real patience comes into play, not the actual work. Appreciate your non-responses and the simple replies without attitude when you do respond. Thanks for the videos.

its not that bad, we had kingpins done on our semi and it was only like $1000. in a shop they have way more air tools and air hammers and they can pull that stuff apart in no time, a shop could probably do all this in a couple hours.

Always fill the hubs with oil before you install the outer bearing. Never beat the spider trying to get the anchor pins out it will bend. Heat it with a torch and use the press.

Jesse…. Your “can do it all” mindset is very impressive……. I’ve been watching you and Andrew for a while. Between the two of you guys, nothing is impossible!

[@andrewchristiansen8311]

We literally just did this last week to a 3 axle trailer ON ALL 6 WHEELS, plus doing 3 S cams & bearings. I'm 120 lbs and lifted a drum without the hub on it myself, but the trailer ones are lighter. I use vice grips on the springs, And push the wire spring in with my fingers. Instead of an impact and a special C-clamp to get those pins out, I use and Oxy/Ace torch on the knuckle then hit it with an air/jack hammer deal. Pop right out.

I would paint the rim black and the lock ring silver. They look real good when done that way.

[@dajones1128]

When you reinstall the tires....you place your 4 pound hammer along side the tire hammer head down and handle upwards alongside the rubber tire. It is your gauge to see if you have the tire tighten properly. You spin the tire as you tighten the spots that need to be brought back into their proper place.

[@Crewsy]

That's how I was shown to install Dayton wheels back in 1985. It works but probably overtightens some of the wheel studs in the process.

[@GenMaster124]

Enjoyed watching the kingpins being changed, glad you never needed a shop press to get it apart 👍🏻👍🏻

When you're trying to break the axle shaft free thread, the nuts back on a bit (so you don't send the cone washers into orbit lol, been there done that), take your biggest sledge and hit it like you really mean. SWING IT LIKE YOU'RE MAD at it, it'll come free.

[@MichaelSmith-dg3kr]

Jesse, if you have time, you can freeze those bushings Overnight, and they will just slip right in. give them a couple of hours to warm up, and they'll be tight in the bore. Might save you some effort, and frustration. That's a lot of work regardless.

Nice job as usual Jesse

[@freemanjackmsiradio]

@Jesse Muller Working alone can be incredibly risky, if you are out of earshot of help, always try to avoid suspended loads of any sort if at all possible. In this instance, I would have left the wheels on the rig, jacked the wheel just clear of the ground, then push a greased board under the middle of the tyre and lower the jack till the wheel weight is just supported, then undo the hubnut and the entire assembly slides off without need to lift anything, the advantage of this is if chocked in that position, a wheel that slid off will always slide straight on as easy as it came off. Just an old timer teaching a young buck how to suck eggs!!!
