How to change brake discs and pads on lorry hgv mobile mechanic truck hgv semi

[@colinholroyd3096]

I always replace the hub seals as well at the same time, been caught out too many times with seals starting to leak a month after they’ve been disturbed, plus I repack the hubs and bearings with fresh grease. As for the half shaft collets I just use long withdrawal bolts and gently tap the cap with soft face hammer whilst using air gun to gently tighten withdrawal bolts evenly and slowly, the collets come off with the cap usually, great channel you have here, keep up the good work you deserve every success 👍

Hi Chris Those collects are on Isuzu trucks Can be a right pain You can get a tool for removing them ,seen one on bus grease monkey. Gray hound bus's same set up Thanks for the video Have a great weekend mate

[@Professional-struggler]

That tool would be a good investment because as you say sometimes it’s a right nightmare! Cheers for watching Robert 👍

[@ciars11]

First time watching the channel, really enjoyed it. Strange thing is I did discs today on a Dennis eagle 😂.

[@Professional-struggler]

Dennis eagle dust bin lorry? better working on the axles than inside the hopper lol cheers pal thanks for watching 👍

[@imavettelfan]

For the collets i take of the nuts. use penetrating oil, put some tention with the draw bolts like you did. then hit the hub cap just above the studs. its gonna mess the customers paint up abit but thats sometimes the only way to get them to pop out

[@jonnilongmire]

Hit the outside edge of half shaft and eventually collects will loosen due to the shock, lube up with WD and should come out. Works every time for me.

[@southenglandbusspotting9965]

Great video mate 👍 I’m starting a HGV Apprenticeship with Iveco next week, so was just browsing for a few videos so I had a bit of a refresh on some bits! I work on buses with my friends sometimes, a Scania N230, MAN’s and plenty of Cummins

[@Professional-struggler]

Buses That’s one thing I’ve never worked on! Glad to here your taking up the trade mate where I’m from there’s a shortage of good hgv mechanics ££ good luck pal, work hard thanks for watching 👍

[@Professional-struggler]

[@Professional-struggler]

[@melhawkins9684]

On the Rockwell ends used to hit the end of the shaft and that used to pop them

[@Transcontinental95]

Hi Chris, great video, I bought a set of OTC Axle Stud Cone Pliers (OTC7077) for removing Volvo halfshaft collets, not used them yet but I'm hoping they do the job.

[@Professional-struggler]

Let me know if there any good! If it Saves smashing the hell out the half shaft I’ll buy some cheers pal 👍

[@mikeday4348]

Put the nuts back on a couple of threads. Pull the hub cap off using the draw bolt holes. When the hub cap comes off far enough that it hits the hub cap nuts, stop and take the draw bolts out. Then twat the hub cap back on, the collets will stay on the studs or be loose enough to get out. I worked for scania as a technician for 20÷ years

[@vaughnbrophy4358]

Do have to activate cross locks before removing the side shaft?

[@stevenkerry3101]

if you hit the side of the half shaft with a hammer above the collet they usually pop out .

[@TheAmzarrul]

[@black666bull9]

[@user-vo9oy3rc8n]

Tap a masonry nail in to the split on the collet if they have a split

[@stevenbund6641]

What puller setvis thst mste

[@kaybag698]

1/2 shaft collets sledge hammer shock bounces them off with the scania use a wooden block then sledge against that.

[@Trippasnippa-420]

What’s the wage like for hgv mechanics?

[@gregbabashoff756]

There are special pliers for the collet

[@user-ox8kh7ci8h]

Big bits sleeve size

[@shaunhargreaves882]

Leave the nuts on the hub studs and dead ball hammer the flange where the collets are they will fire out.

[@CANDiagnostic]

Smack the splin drive at the top of the base of every bolt. Keep the nuts on loose or you will lose the collets... Bive lost a few.. Smack them where I said and they will fly out

[@Professional-struggler]

Yep I think your right pal! Stick to what we know- if it don’t come out give it a clout 🔨 hammer 🔨 😂

[@blenchy1]

Mate keep the nuts on last few threads then wack the side of cap with hammer

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

To loosen the cones use McNasty air hammer, Simples 🦦 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dieselhatz4247]

I would of thought an air hammer would help, I’ve got a 401 and 498, not much argues with them.
