First of all chock the wheels and release your brakes! grease all the fittings before you do anything . Then on ALL manual slack adjusters theres a collar to prevent the nut on the slack adjuster from backing you have to knock the durt off of it and you must use a box end wrench, to loose that up I use a hammer on the 🔧, dont beat on it hard! The reason you release your brakes is so you can watch the rod in your brake drum go in while you adjust! Not out! Then when you adjust your slack adjuster all the way up and back off one 1/4! Then test the travel of your slack adjuster on each wheel by either using the proper brake buddy or I have used a large crecent wrench! That travel should be no more than 1/2 an inch and us exactly what a cvse officer is doing under is measuring that travel, he uses you to press the brake but you are usually aline so use a wrench for thd travel! Do this for all wheels and you will guaranteed have fully functioning brakes

🍒😲WHAT❓ INSANELY EXPEN$IVE 😏🤔

yeah. that is tottaly wrong

Think most people would do just 1/4 turn . I usually do 1/2 turn on the steering axle. 1/4 on every other axle. But 🤷‍♂️

Are you a trainee? Firstly you are using the wrong tool to remove the spring

1/4 is the way yo go

Brakes released before adjustment and it’s important to be sure the slack adjuster is greased and operating freely , and I’d go over brake chambers I seen a guy pull the death bolt once and if I’d not caught him he’d be hurt bad I like you content good mechanic sir you are

Did you release the brakes, and have at least 90psi

Man, dude you take forever to take brakes off you don’t even have to use that damn fucking tool. You shouldn’t even be making this video man.

Bearing and Spindle did look dry

Sometimes it’s ok when the differential leaks a little 😀🇨🇦

That’s all fine and dandy in an environment like that. Come on over to the real world where the shit is used

180 degrees

I think it’s 1994

Make sure the cotter pin is still there. It wont selfadjust without it. That will also cause uneven breaking

It’s actually vehicles after 1994 that has automatic adjusters

Great damn video… thanks for

Old man says 1/4 to a 1/2 I’d say it’s in the relm

3:53 Pulling axle shaft; very dry of oil; looks like the diff may be running dry; check that oil

Full 90 degrees for half turn 😂 last I checked it was 180 degrees for half turns

thanks for helpful vid. hey, just to clarify for future viewers, 1 full turn is 360 degrees; 1/2 turn is 180; 1/4 turn is 90. So after tightening the adjuster, we back it off 1/4 turn.

Wow that is one ancient lift!!

U are very stupid tu replaced brakes

Thank u so much!

Thank you. This is way better than the State book

Ur an idiot ur supposed to go back 1/4 turn on drive axels and 1/2 on steers

What size socket is needed to adjust slack adjuster

One reason you might want to do this is to prevent a wheel fire that turns into a trailer fire, am I right?

Hahaha guys are revving engines to make it look like they know what they’re doing 😂😂😂😂

I know how to produce truck brake slack adjuster

Thank you. After watching someone who can't even get the right size socket in under 4 trys and doesn't seem completely sure what an axle is, I now feel confident any idiot including myself can do this job

This guy is milking the job. Only takes 30 seconds for me to remove a shoes using only a flat screw driver.

First hud extraction!

On drive tires do you release brakes or leave them set

Не айттын

Thanks From H-town..

"Being counter productive" says the dudeeee flying off wheel nuts here there everywhere. Imagine listening and taking pointers from this rookie, be careful who is working/maintaining your vehicle, sloppy sloppy workmanship, who is paying for them lost nuts flying around the workshop? Oh it's the customer 😂😂😂😂

Currently sitting in a snowplow at work learning

OK, but it's _not_ a "cherry-picker". That is specifically something that lifts a person in a bucket (or platform). This is just a hydraulic hoist.

S CAM breakdown where they never touched the s cam

Thanks your videos

I came here to see what the s cam looks like. Thank you

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Horrible explanation and I’m convinced you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Great job bro. Im starting a new diesel job after not being in it for years. Any tips? Im rusty lol

Very helpful moved jobs and never used a forklift with a clutch

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

1/2 turn is a little too much. At 1/2 turn the brake is already at 2” stroke. Try 1/4 turn or 7 clicks and the clevice pin is free and you’re at a perfect 1-1/4 - 1-3/8 stroke every time.
