Every day is not a cake walk working with a work truck nearing 40 years old. Sometimes stuff just happens and we gotta deal with what hand we are dealt. That was the way it was on the way home with the second load of red cedar logs a few weeks ago. No matter, its just a matter of inspection and repair and back on the road again !! Yes, a slight clicking showed up just as I got on the road with the load. Good thing its only a few miles away. A quick inspection found the flat spring that exerts pressure on the pad holder was working its way out of the main caliper housing. Soon after, the actual "H" shaped wedge that holds the removable portion into the locking angle of the main housing began sliding out. But that too was not much of an issue as the brakes still functioned to stop the vehicle. However once back on the road again and only a little over a mile yet to go, the manual switch on the digital brake controller was used for slowing and stopping the loaded dump trailer and truck. Back home, unloaded an in position to make the needed repair, the video starts. Quick, simple cleaning, greasing and securement of the necessary components and we are ready to haul some more stuff ! #caliper, #brakes, #diy
