Rest of the things it’ll take me an hour to do on my civic and I still have to take it the mechanic shop cause I screwed something up.

We had an entire fleet of school buses with frozen rollers at one point. One guy had to wail on the spider with a sledgehammer, while the other put their body weight on the air hammer positioned right on the roller. We couldn't use the ball joint press, because doing so meant also changing the wheel seals on the rear hub, and we couldn't stock enough of them. We all got drained, but we also got bigger muscles..... luckily our wives noticed.

For brain dead ones who think this is a total information video on attempting a brake job on there own.

Wow! I can't believe I ever did this! I went from a retired missile systems test engineer to a grunt in two months. Lol. I never could figure out an easy way to do a brake job. Was a great experience. Busted tires as well. We had an air wrench that I swear weighed near 50 lbs. I could barely pick it up and get the socket on the nuts. A fella named Big John showed me how to do it. He picked it up like it was a box of cotton and zipped all those nuts off. Then, he put a hug on the tire and slid it right off. John could do that all day long. The outfit I worked for rebuilt cattle trailers and did long hauls so they had about 24 tractors. I repaired tires for all the tractors and trailers and did maintenance such as lubrication, repacking bearings, changing oil and fuel filters AND getting real greasy. Great experience, it was hard work. I rode to work on my Harley back then and one day I started to straddle the bike but noticed my Levi's were down past my waist. Pulled them up, tightened the belt and got on. When I got home, I looked closer at the belt. I had lost so much weight I had to put more notches on the belt. Hard works has benefits!

Even tho I'm just a lowly company driver, it's always interested me how to repair these awesome machines. I don't think I'll ever have to repair them but watching these videos is just awesome. Plus the more you know could end up saving someone's life.

Nothing wrong with giving folks a refresher course on things even if you have done it before . One positive I can think of is your helping teach folks plus when you have plenty of old parts you have scrap metal. Have a great weekend

Thanks man I’m learning a lot from your videos. Yes I’m a greenhorn, lost a good job so I’m working on getting my CDL. Kind of tired of the factory scene, need something new. I used to machine large natural gas/diesel fired engine parts. Hopefully my new path brings me more freedom. Thanks again.

I always used a vise grip and small prybar later in life as it gave me better leverage on the small springs. Also used a air hammer to gently push out the bushings, I got pretty quick at getting them out . I also used a ball hone on the inner surface to clean it all up to insure the bushing wouldn't get deformed putting it in. Instead of using a ball joint press to put the bushing in,I used a alignment bolt and spare washer to run them in to save time . Put the Alignment bolt through the alignment washer and tap the bolt head with a hammer while pulling on the back of the bolt. You can steer it some with the pulling side a little by wiggling the bolt. My ball joint press was a cheap Napa item. Less than 80 bucks. Lasted me until retirement. Great video. Awesomly informative for new techs and maybe some older hands.

Nice job man! I use to do anchor pins the same way. Until I bought a tap1 anchor pin press kit from strap- on. It’s presses out pin and bushing at the same time. Hit it with some sand paper wrapped in a cotter pin. Anti-seize and press in the new bushing and pin. Now it takes longer to remove the wheels then the brake job. Lol

'EZ,' you're one of the 'coldest' and this whole video was of 'content' worth watching! And a six grader could have watch this like me, and have an understanding now, of what this type of 'break repair and replacement' consists of! Thank you for 'tutorial' and I'm watching every other video you do, and I can't wait to see you do some 'disc breaks' on a 'truck!'
