In this video I introduce you all to a project that I’ve only shared on Instagram! It’s my 1981 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 flatbed. I bought this truck from a neighbor last year. The rear brakes on this truck were completely non-functioning. I have my suspicions that the brake bleeder screws were mistaken for grease zerks. I also figured I would change out the axle bearings and seals while I had the brakes apart. Turns out the passenger side wheel bearing was toast. The axle is the semi-floating 9.5” 14 bolt. I replaced and cleaned the entire rear brake system. Wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake hardware kit, parking brake cables, brake hose, one drum was turned and one had to be replaced.

you are the only one, and i mean, THE ONLY ONE!!! that i could find that does a legible step by step on how to take out the axel of a semi float. Thank you! now I feel comfortable to take my stuff apart now.

Omg. The lube guy put a grease gun on the bleeder valves. I have to wonder now...did he open them first?

Quickest easiest way to remove a bearing race if you have a welder is run a bead around the inside of the race and it will pretty much fall out

@thecountrylife6078 4 года назад

Please explain a little bit more on the process if you don't mind

@johnfitbyfaithnet Год назад

No bb's getting on the inside?

That better not be my good Klein screwdriver you're trying that race out with😂😂😂. Digging that blues jam for sure!

Would be nice seeing how you put brakes back on in normal speed lol

@drewnashty 3 года назад

You can set the playback speed to 0.25, but yea a lot of the frames are still missing.

@matthewpender4257 3 года назад

I was gonna say same. Was trying to take mental notes And see what size wrenches and open end wrenches used. I need to do this to my 77 k10 soon. I just bought most of the parts But never really done drum brakes

@joshuaatkins5197 3 года назад

No grease on the shoe to backing plate contact areas? Good video thanks

@Cary2345 Год назад

Do you have the part numbers for the wheel bearing and axle seal? I have the same axle. Are these 13” brakes? That’s the size I ordered for my truck hopefully that was correct

@briansanders8696 10 месяцев назад

@milkcrate82 do you have a part number for that brake dum by chance been looking for weeks for one.

@BAKEMAN87 7 месяцев назад

At 3:22, what size flare nut wrench are you using to remove the hard brake lines from the rear brake hose?

@mwagner_87 3 года назад

Great video. Straight to the point, showed the entire process.

@TempoDrift1480 9 месяцев назад

I put grease on my bleeders to keep some smount of bullshit off them.

@tompetry1685 3 года назад

Can’t believe you didn’t replace the lines

@zhartheProprietor 4 года назад

Thanks very informative. I may be doing this soon if what I found in my front 60 hubs & spindles is an indication of what to expect in the rear.

Hello.. My Car ist a Chevrolet Caprice from 1986. Can you tell me how Long live the Brakes ? It was never Change . Greets from Germany

@MoultonRedneck 4 года назад

After my experience with a 1 ton 14bolt FF swap and the el dorado brake kit.... save yourself a ton of cash and get a newer model 14 bolt with GM disc brakes and factory parking brake set up. I had the option to do this but went with the old school set up, but the newer axle would have saved me hundreds of dollars in the long run.

@milkcrate82 4 года назад

Great advice! I did see a early 2000’s FF 14b in CL out in East Texas with disc brakes. Price was reasonable but not great. It would have been a 6 hour round trip for me. I thought about but decided against it. Too much trouble.

@briansanders8696 10 месяцев назад

@milkcrate82 do you happen to have a part number for that break drum? I've been looking for weeks trying to find one. Thanks in advance

Found spiders on Amazon for $85 they looked a little trashed ... GREAT VIDEO

@trainwreck682 10 месяцев назад

Well done my friend well done. Your video and editing is impeccable. Just what I needed to see to tackle my brake job. Thank you.

@johng2779 3 года назад

Hey there is a something in the brake lines it's a weird looking thing that the brake lines go throught above the rest axle. It looks like it has something to do with the load in the bed it has a wheel on it with arm..I disconnected mine and the brakes when I push the peddle sometimes they lock up in the rear is. That cause I disconnected that thing. Anyone know whay it's called so I can find a replacement

@kellyben7991 2 года назад

@daveelliott8116 2 года назад

When you were grinding the wheel bearing out. What tool was that you were using a drill and what kind of bit?

@TheCanadianBubba 4 года назад

Those spiders looked to be giving up some at 4:15, you were not worried about them at all ? Or maybe you will get a posi in there ? In any case she looks loyal and ready to do whats needed. Great days to ya man !
