truck air disc brake pads replacing (how to replace pads on air disc brake)

how to replace brake pads on air disc brake

Much harder to remove the wheel than to change the brake pads. Good job!!!

[@watsonj217]

I tend to jack trucks up from the axles, position an axle stand underneath and wind the calliper off completely and then pop the clip off, pin out and pads out, clean the carrier with some sandpaper, copper grease the back and sides of the pad backing plate, slot in, assemble, wind the piston adjuster till it goes hard and back it off one click, no need for pumping of the foot brake.

[@nadeemrana9972]

thank you very much for this video bro

[@miket6978]

you are supposed to tighten the adjuster until the pads contact the rotor and back off the adjuster 3 clicks then the brakes can self adjust properly

[@xxpr0nag3xx]

There is actually a spec for brake pad to rotor spacing. Don't quote me but i think its between .027-.047 thou. Either way, you both would get there eventually. The disc brake system IS self adjusting. You just have to work that adjustment in. The problem with doing it that way (where you over space the pads and work it into adjustment with applications) is that your never really sure its hit adjustment. It will eventually and its only going to slightly pull you in either direction its on until its adjusted but to properly walk it in you have to give it tons of HARD applications. Not light ones. So the push rod and worm gear actuate the adjuster.

[@timothyhays1817]

I can see someone reads the instructions. 👍

[@aperez8601]

Timothy Hays he didn't read the instructions. If he would have read the instructions he would have tightens brakes till they made contact then back off 3 clicks like the comment said. I think he's full of bull matukie

[@zopilotegalaz1128]

[@mpiklo697458]

1 . Off goes the handbrake 2 . Shoot off the wheel 3 . Dismount the brake calipher cap . 4 . Check the brake calipher pistons ( if the rubber is damaged than replace calipher) 5 . Adjust the pistons until they reached the calipher 6 . Take out the breakpads 7 . Check the brake calipher for play ( push and pull it a few times to see if the pistons are okay and the calipher doesnt get stuck ) 8 . Check the brake rotor ( if it has lots of crack , big cracks or is thinner than 39mm ... replace it ) 9 . Grind the edges of the brake pads (not neccesary if your brake rotors are new) 10 . Apply copperpaste to the sides of your breakpads 11 . Clean the edges inside the calipher where the pads are resting 12 . Put the pads in calipher , dont force it . 13 . Adjust the pistons until the push against the pads . Then readjust 60° or 3 clicks back counterclockwise 14. Mount the brake calipher cap 15. Mount the wheel

[@ivantulala9533]

we will try that next ime sir , thank you !

[@Coolblaster6]

Heyyy bendix training

[@davidmdomingo]

Love your honesty man. Great job.

[@hoogaboogabo]

actually when you adjust it, you tighten the 10mm nut until tight, then back it off two clicks, if you read the install guide in the box with the pads, that's how it says to correctly adjust them. Not by just pumping the brakes.

[@ivantulala9533]

hoogaboogabo its recommended to pump the brake , that way u move all the auto adjuster parts . and u know that your adjuster is working ... also , with new pads its pretty much at the end so it doesnt move much at all . unless ur rotors are shot

[@rickykingi5191]

That looks easy enough to do👍

[@yazeed3881]

So a cotter pin to secure the pin that secures the cover that secures the pads ??

[@RT-gs7fj]

The only special tool is the guy willing to pay full buck😂😂😂😂

[@TheMexican80581]

Whenever we replace disc brakes on 2017-2018 mack trucks. Its run the adjuster all the way in then 1/4 turn for read axles and 1/2 turn for front axles

[@CosgroveNotts]

Never heard that before and lve repadded loads of brakes. Just leave a 1 to 2 mm clearance

[@tcoyle40]

I hired a tire guy yesterday to remove my tires for me and knocked it all out in under 2 hours..He had a leaking compressor that would loosen or tighten about 3 lug nuts before having to rebuild air but still. I called the local KW dealer in my neck of the woods and they charge 4 hours labor per Axle 12 hours just in labor..their shop rate can be as high as 200 pr hour..do the math on that one!

[@ivantulala9533]

yep .

[@brakenut1]

Sir.. at 2:05 you'll notice the bottom tappet boot has a tear.. at least that's what it looks like.. pull the truck back in and replace. Any contamination that enters will seize the adjuster.. and it's not a warrantable failure.. Next time.. once the pads are removed.. carefully inspect the tappet boots look for anything from a pin hole to a rip or tear.. then, move the caliper head and do the same with the guide pin boots.. it takes just a minute or two .. but will save you the rebuild in a year..

[@thewolfhound4442]

Instead of pumping the brake paddle 10 times, just adjust the caliber up full and let off 2 click's and they'll be perfect. it's ok, it's ok cause "AM A TRUCK MECHANIC" hope this helps

[@taylaburgess106]

+Wolfhound 3 how would you adjust the caliber matr

[@thewolfhound4442]

very simple the adjuster that he slacken the pads off with (you can hear it clicking) you just turn that adjuster the opposite way and it tightens, then just back it off 2 clicks and they will be perfect

[@taylaburgess106]

good afternoon sir i have a question but it is totally different than breaks repair i have a 2012 peterbil 384 i had to do a repair on a airbag supports, need it to weld a support because it felt off, unfortunately all my modules burn out, my mechanic said he disconnected the negative battery wires but i believe he didnt. do this affect to it? thank you sir

[@jasond5405]

99% of the time if the batteries were disconnected it will not burn up any computer modules. I usually unplug the computers if possible to take away that 1% chance.

[@holmes1956O]

The high frequency from the welding arc went through the electrical system and pooched your modules. The man welding it should have disconnected the batteries and preferably the computers as well. Good luck getting him to pay for fixing it

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow! That's freaking quick!! Good job! So how about the rotors? I figure you have to take the wheel hub and calipers off! Maybe that's why they ask for over a grand for the job!? Or that's just for replacing the pads?

[@InCaRnAt3]

Rotors typically last two sets of pads when running line haul applications, inspection is the key with ADB checking them regularly will add to the life of the system.

Hell ya brother! ! And when you maintain your own truck you know what it needs and what it doesn't need. All those other driver's are just that. . Drivers. They just run it tilln something breaks. Then pay 500 or more for a tow. I would have put that pin in from the top just like you did. That way if for some reason the clip falls out the pin is at least held their by gravity. I do excavation for my two friends. Been doing it since I was in 8th grade. We do all of our own repairs. We run a 81 kenworth with a 3406b and a dump body. And a 94 international triaxle dump with a cummins n14. That truck got rolled over and we straightened it and double framed it ourselves. I've rebuilt the final drives on one of our 160 excavators when I had never even knew how it worked when we ordered the parts. Lol

[@ivantulala9533]

it's irrelevant as to which way it's going in

[@Manic-172]

@@ivantulala9533 been threw DAF and scania training and the pin are put in a particular direction. For a reason. If the caliper is vertical like most rear wheels then it's put in with the wide end to the top to stop it falling out . If it's on a horizontally mounted caliper like most steer applications the wide end is to the rear. This is so if the retaining clip comes out or rusts away etc the pin can vibrate out a bit but will be caught by the hole in the wheel and pushed back forward when the vehicle is driving hopefully keeping the pin in place . Every thing is done for a reason. They spend millions and millions developing these trucks nothing is done " oh that will do"

Ok few minor faults pointed out by some sharp viewers. I read quite a few comments. Didn't have time to read them all. No one mentions the fact that they did NOT check to see if the calipers slides freely before they put in the pads. This is a VERY important step. Stuck calipers creates overheating , pulling etc.

[@ivantulala9533]

Stephen Cumming why would it not slide ?

[@jackrichard8712]

Bushings look worn in the caliper. I work as a trailer mechanic and that has the tell tail sings of needing a rebuild on the caliper. Never inspected the tappets, no grease in dust boot over adjustment nut, never even checked the disk to see if was in spec. Yes back yard fixes are quick and Cheaper but taking it to a shop is definitely the way to go

Yes you have to as the piston will be out further with worn pads as they are gone thin and worn and the new pads will be thicker with more meat on them , its better to tighten the adjusters up again to take up the slack after fitting the new pads ,it looks easy in the video as its a fresh new truck , but when theres older axles and brakes theres more work for sure but hope fully you wont have this to contend with all the best
