Changing Brake pads on Scania truck  

Well put together Sandy...and fair play Safety First...

If your having to hammer your pads into the carrier it can cause brake bind and wear them down quicker. Some time a light going over on the edge of the pad with a flapping disc will allow them to slide into the carrier easier and stop them binding

Loving these maintenance videos Sandy, please keep them coming when you can.

Well done Sandy. Great video and naw an easy task lying on the ice 👍🏻

I forgot to say mate..u have a lovely truck

That bottle jack is friendly on the knuckles with the side stroke, all my years of trucking, it's the first I have seen. Good one, man.

Really enjoyed that wee video Sandy👍

Used to use a flat file on the guides or if really bad a good gan ower wi a needle gun, should really be able to slide the new pads in wi just hand, and maybe just a little grease just on the edges,

Brilliant and informative 👍

Definitely due a change them well spotted 👌

Well done to u mate..im from ireland and u wouldnt find no owner driver out doin tat kknda work..fate play 2 u mate..u deserve a lovely truck

Great videos man 👌👍

Great video greeting from Southern Ireland ( Kilkenny)

My R450 seems to wear the pads more on the drivers side on drive axle too. I replaced both calipers and both brake Chambers and it still wears faster on the off side. I think it's the way they are or the ebs just sends more pressure too that wheel. Been watching your videos for the last couple of months and there proper 👌

Another great video Sandy, you are a natural behind the camera 👍

I’d just whip the chamber off to check the return spring hasn’t broken which can cause the calliper to hold slightly The Mercedes’ ones break quite often

Great video sandy

I used to haul logs (oak) from France 🇫🇷 few years ago found very interesting 🤔

Great video lad , “you should have “ brigade , u show them lad 👊

My R 450 was wearing pads un evenly and turned out it was brake chamber leaking air from service brake side to parking brake side .fitter showed me by putting rubber glove around the disconnected park brake and watching it slowly inflate totally cured prob

Informative, That's some wrist action. Plenty practice there me thinks 🤣

Top man sandy boy 🤙🤙🤙 love it u should ask Amy’s dad to help u with ur brakes disk or his team keep it up 🤙🤙

If you need to hammer pads in mate you haven’t cleaned the carrier enoug,trying taken a little bit of the pad on the sliding edge as from factory they get covered in paint stay away from copper slip too it’s crap but Scania tell you to use it it just attracts dust and crap I’ve always put them in dry, them discs are shot too bits btw

🤙🏻

Bottom one took it time going in when u speed it up

Couldn’t help but notice your exhaust brake is turned off, you’ll burn through brakes quicker if you don’t keep it turned on.

Corking video Sandy, good explanation. Can't wait for the "shouldn't you have worn a mask whilst wire brushing the brake dust from the carriers" comments 😂 Thanks very much, stay well 🤙🏻

🤙

sorry to say but those heat cracks are not standard. you need to replace that rotor.

🤙🤙🤙🤙

Need a new caliper tapet boot Sandy 👍

I think I’m going to brave it and do my own. I’ve got all the correct tools just never bothered🤷‍♂️ I have a 2011 R500 are they the same setup?

Where did you get that jack from sandy ?

Watched short video today are you driving Mercedes now. ???????

Caliper piston boot is shot mate

Ist time watching you folk don't realise how much to put a building up ..How many trucks do you have !

🤙🏻
