Fuso FG Rear Brake Inspection

Step by step disassembly of the rear brakes on our 2013 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter

[@johnmarieriley8604]

hey this was a great video for me , i got a rear brake adjuster locked up on a Mitsubishi Rosa here in Australia and with that tool to use to release the the adjuster was an easy job, The brake was getting hot to the extent it near set on fire, so 10/10, legend👍

[@BruceandKrista]

Excellent - glad it was useful!

[@michaelheidgerken9612]

Just between you and me. The brake set up of this truck is very similar to the old larger ford trucks. Before making the special tools just back off the brake shoe adjusters and use a strong mechanics magnet to remove the tab washer between the bearing adjusting nuts the shoes come off hard due to the rust ring build up on the most inner drum edge that makes no contact with the brake shoes. After the brakes adjuster is turned in and large bearing keeper nuts removed just strick the drum with palm of your hand and that will spit out the outer bearing and the whole drum falls out into your hands. Be ready for it due to the weight. Every once in a while a drum won't free up so just strick the drum with your 1 pound ball peen hammer. Thank you for the video, saw something new. Most brake shoe adjusters use two longer rubber plugs side by side and the fuso has two different shaped plugs. I have a 1994 Mitsubishi Fuso role back wrecker FH, 8.55 ton Have never worked on the Fuso line and all is appreciated. Thanks Brother.

Good stuff! Thanks for watching and the comments!

[@sixbennetts]

Great vid. Really easy to see what's going on. Thanks!

[@darylhawkins4658]

Awesome video. I have a 2015 Fuso myself with a Morgan Cargo body as a camper.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Thanks for sharing! I'm pretty shocked with the amount of rust on the 2013 truck, dam salt!!

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks for watching! - it’s nuts how much can flake off, yet still be solid underneath!

[@HD.Adventuring]

Thanks again for these videos. We're just getting back from Baja, and before we head up to Alaska for the summer we're hoping to install new brake shoes, potentially turn the old drums, and inspect the bearings. Hoping for a bit better braking performance! I am struggling to find the proper front oil seals to order. How do you find the proper part numbers for your fuso? I have a 3164 page shop manual for the fuso, but it doesn't list part numbers!

[@BruceandKrista]

Part numbers are not easy are they! Luckily for me I have a friend who works at a truck center that is part of a dealer network which includes Mercedes/Fuso - and he is able to look up specific parts for me. I’ve tried to see if I can acquire the parts manual, but it’s a no go!

[@ifab2holeshot]

Thank you that was super clear and easy to follow . I have a question about adjusting the parking break how do you do it .. Thnx

[@BruceandKrista]

Hi, I have not yet had to dig into the parking brake, but will post a video when I do!

[@richardclark2414]

Cheers man , helpful for sure! Subscribed !

[@MMOverlandAdventures]

Nice job Bruce!

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks! Hope it’s helpful!

[@michaelkirtley-d2u]

G'day Bruce just wanted to know the size of bolt used in the lock nut removal tool,

[@BruceandKrista]

Ahhh, good question! Looks like I used some M10x1.25 bolts 😎

[@TheItinerantCraftsman]

Great info Definitely not something I’ll be doing on the side of a public road

[@BruceandKrista]

You’d probably be there for a while!

[@RichardCrabbe403]

Thanks for making this vid!

[@BruceandKrista]

Thank you for watching!

[@рагнарлотброк-н8ъ]

Спасибо американцу из Якутии... У меня ммс кантер 3 тонный а так тормоза тоже такие же

[@BruceandKrista]

Glad it was useful!

[@jocker621021]

you are a genius sir

[@BruceandKrista]

LOL, Thanks!

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

Have you done anything with the Park brake actuation in the rear axle ?

[@BruceandKrista]

Hmmm.... the park brake on our Fuso is on the output of the transfer case, not in the rear axle...

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

@@BruceandKrista Cool thanks for that, Mine has actuators apparently in the rear axle hub and one of them has broken which I was told is common on this model Mitsubishi so I will need to deal with it. THanks for the Great Video it was really enjoyable

[@michaelterrazas1526]

Not what I need. Helpful but not what one need to take off rear brake shoes, and replace the old worn out brake shoes, and put new ones on. Can you make a video installation of brake shoes. Can not find any help online. 2001 mitsubishi fuso box truck.

[@BruceandKrista]

Removing & installing the shoes from this point is dead simple… the rest is just a few springs and clips.

[@janssenjakesampan6618]

Is this the same with Toyota Dyna truck?

[@BruceandKrista]

Sorry, I’m not sure of the similarities 😎

[@michaelkirtley-d2u]

Thank you very much 👍

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks for watching!

[@akbarshoed]

Thanks alot!

[@BruceandKrista]

You're welcome!

[@christaner]

Great video.

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks!

[@SujenKumar-zl2cc]

Super nice bro

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks 😎

[@ifab2holeshot]

hey guys do you have any info about the front brakes on your fuso truck . mine is the FH series

[@BruceandKrista]

I believe your front brakes are completely different - you have disk front. The FG uses drums in the front. 😎

[@tkskates]

Is the front similar ?

[@BruceandKrista]

Yes and no - I’ll be doing a front brake video as well, eventually! (Hopefully in the next few months)

[@brucemusozya3030]

Great stuff, Thanks

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks for watching!

[@jhonnyfloresala2102]

Amazing 😃

[@wheelhouseadventures8176]

Thanks

[@ivanseokolo2816]

How do you take out the drum

[@BruceandKrista]

After you’ve removed the axle & seal, remove the locking ring (3:43) then remove the nut and washer (4:40) you pull the hub and drum assembly (7:05) you may need to retract the shoes (9:10) to pull the drums. If you need to separate the drum from the hub, you need to undo the nuts which you will see on the inside of the drum (back side of the wheel studs) once it’s apart.

[@genki5311]

Very good

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks for watching!

[@ghostnvs1577]

How do u remove the wheelstuds?

[@BruceandKrista]

I have not had to remove one yet, but if I recall - you remove the nut on the inside of the brake drum and then press out the old stud, press in the new one - and re-install the nut.

[@Tarenja50]

Great vid but why the loud music?

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks - Balancing audio levels is something I continually struggle with - everything sounds balanced while I’m editing, but then once published they seem to be off. I believe in later videos I do get a little better as I have learned a few more tricks, but still one of my biggest editing frustrations. Out of curiosity, did you view the video on a phone/tablet/computer or TV? And were you using headphones or speakers?

[@narineramsundar9430]

Thankyou bro

[@BruceandKrista]

Thanks for watching!

[@sydulalam1239]

What does fuso fz gearbox do

[@BruceandKrista]

FG? The FG is 4x4, the FE is 2WD not sure what the FZ is?

[@sonofadutchman9315]

I’d say that it makes things go around at various speeds. Good question..

[@chrism5433]

Thankyou,🍺🍺

[@BruceandKrista]

Thank you for watching!

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Magnet works better then the Hook n Screwdriver!

[@BruceandKrista]

That’s brilliant!
