Unless there is some other issue I never pull the hubs to do s cams and bushings. Pull the cam tube and knock the outer bushing out and the cam will get enough angle to slide out, put the seal and bushing on the new s cam and drive it back in. I use a short piece of an old cam to drive the bushing into the tube. Trailers are easier but it's pretty much the same

[@joedabs1239]

Great video we need more informative techs willing to educate others.. definitely will subscribe to your channel look forward to more like this

Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@g.a6830]

great job! and how much replace on the 2 trailer axles? where a you are located?

[@Nato-kz8he]

Usually when putting on those seals we use an old frame bushing boltalong with the washer to use as a punch. Keeps that seal straight and centered all the way through. Kinda like putting oil seals on.

[@kienhuynh7240]

By the way always appreciate all the videos you posted on your KZbin channel.

[@masontymenson7955]

awesome video contains a lot of very useful details been explained clearly ,well done and thanks for post it and you got thump up from me now ,wish you both very good luck always till next videos keep it up

[@austinbober2092]

If you get the bushing out while the cam is still in, you can remove without removing the hub just gotta apply some heat and the bushings will become real easy to remove with a flathead

[@angelrodriquez3176]

Gracias , for all you help on changing scams I was waiting for three months

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

Im glad the video could help you, gracias por ver mi video!!

[@martinmartinez1572]

Carnal ; to install the seals , just cut the old s cam about 6 inches long from the outside of the S side and drive the seals with it , just use 1 of the big washers between the S and the seals so you can have a flat surface to drive them perfectly , a lot easier and faster 👍🏼👍🏼

[@PickupsAreNotTrucks]

Can I please get a part number for this S cam kit. I’ve got something similar and been broke down over a week because nobody knows what parts I need. Please let me know. Thank you!

[@CORKILL911]

Probably had trouble with the free-play of you bushing because your using a puller for your brass bushings witch flared them . Use a tube shape punch . Use the s-cam with washer to fit your seal perfectly on. Saves me lots of time

[@painkey1189]

You can get the s cam past the hub if you cut it in half. With the old seals and bushing gone there should be enough room for the new cam, you just have to put your washer, seal and bushing on the cam first.

[@juansalazar2397]

It's 2024 and even the mechanics nowadays are inflated lol thanks for the video bro

[@painkey1189]

I always put the inside seal in backwards so grease won't get on the shoes

[@captnkurt83]

Very important

[@enriquedelacruz7398]

Where’s that video you were going to put in description that shows how to take off the hub in order to get S cam out??

[@JuanRios-dt5qk]

If you have the press to drive the seals in why not use it instead of using the hammer?

[@zachcarpenter2771]

Just use a thin wall 1 5/16 1 drive socket and smack the old bushing out

[@JoséVelarde-k9e]

Pregunta es obligatorio cambiar los sellos para remplazar los scam bushing?

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

En esta traila si, unas trailas no es necesario, el scam alcansa a salir

[@blthetube1962]

Captain Hindsight Here...... Wouldn't heating the main axle components allow easier installation of seals and bushings?

[@CycloneReaper45]

How long does this take on a trailer usually? If you were to take it to a shop how many shop hours would it be?

[@matteblack7845]

For the shop I work at, to do a double axle brake job with removing hubs and s cams and bushings it’s 10 hours. One axle half of that.

[@user-lf7en6rf8m]

Excellent fantastic work

[@lifeitsgreat]

Great video

[@susanvaughn741]

I love your jack stand. It can’t slip off, but I would put it on the axle. I’ve tried the brass bushing but they brok into pieces.very disappointing. Nylon holds up the best but they are shit too. When new they don’t fit tight and have at least 5000 thousands clearance. Withe this much slack, a little wear, and bumpy roads the cams just were out in 8 months. Truck brakes are shit. They should last for years without lube or repair.

[@javiermunoz1123]

Which is the name of the tool that you used to oversized the bushing??

[@tshaunscales525]

What type of Sawzall did you all use?

[@tshaunscales525]

If s cam bushings bad Will it make vibration?

[@samrepairsdiy]

Yes if the bushings are worn out when ever you break it's going to have vibration and the trailer is going to jerck when ever is empty or on light weight.

Bro do you have the part number of the bushing clam to order thank you 👍

Thankyou Bro! cool video

Thanks you sir 🙏

[@azizomer3092]

What would be the labor cost at a shop to get this job done?

[@shawnevans9106]

$800-1000 roughly. It’s usually $340 for the wheel seal. Plus the you have to remove an reinstall the slack adjuster, then the s cam and bushings. Est is for the whole axle.

[@anthonyjimenez7361]

how do you know the bushings are worn

[@serhammalot01]

If the bushing spun and you can't install a new grease zerk it should be replaced and if the s-cam shaft doesn't spin freely in the bushing, bushing should be replaced. It's just basic common sense really, the S cam shaft needs to move freely to work properly and you'll have to replace anything that is stopping s cam from moving and doing its job

[@pep5772]

By the play on the shaft

[@justinzettlemoyer7175]

Before the install. Really should have run the dremmel around the face of each side. Beveling it inward. The seals wouldn't have cought an edge on the way in. Other then that. Good video.

[@jessemayhew5528]

You are installing the seals backward
