Just between you and me. The brake set up of this truck is very similar to the old larger ford trucks. Before making the special tools just back off the brake shoe adjusters and use a strong mechanics magnet to remove the tab washer between the bearing adjusting nuts the shoes come off hard due to the rust ring build up on the most inner drum edge that makes no contact with the brake shoes. After the brakes adjuster is turned in and large bearing keeper nuts removed just strick the drum with palm of your hand and that will spit out the outer bearing and the whole drum falls out into your hands. Be ready for it due to the weight. Every once in a while a drum won't free up so just strick the drum with your 1 pound ball peen hammer. Thank you for the video, saw something new. Most brake shoe adjusters use two longer rubber plugs side by side and the fuso has two different shaped plugs. I have a 1994 Mitsubishi Fuso role back wrecker FH, 8.55 ton Have never worked on the Fuso line and all is appreciated. Thanks Brother.
hey this was a great video for me , i got a rear brake adjuster locked up on a Mitsubishi Rosa here in Australia and with that tool to use to release the the adjuster was an easy job, The brake was getting hot to the extent it near set on fire, so 10/10, legend👍
Thanks again for these videos. We're just getting back from Baja, and before we head up to Alaska for the summer we're hoping to install new brake shoes, potentially turn the old drums, and inspect the bearings. Hoping for a bit better braking performance! I am struggling to find the proper front oil seals to order. How do you find the proper part numbers for your fuso? I have a 3164 page shop manual for the fuso, but it doesn't list part numbers!
Part numbers are not easy are they! Luckily for me I have a friend who works at a truck center that is part of a dealer network which includes Mercedes/Fuso - and he is able to look up specific parts for me. I’ve tried to see if I can acquire the parts manual, but it’s a no go!
Not what I need. Helpful but not what one need to take off rear brake shoes, and replace the old worn out brake shoes, and put new ones on. Can you make a video installation of brake shoes. Can not find any help online. 2001 mitsubishi fuso box truck.
@@BruceandKrista Cool thanks for that, Mine has actuators apparently in the rear axle hub and one of them has broken which I was told is common on this model Mitsubishi so I will need to deal with it. THanks for the Great Video it was really enjoyable
After you’ve removed the axle & seal, remove the locking ring (3:43) then remove the nut and washer (4:40) you pull the hub and drum assembly (7:05) you may need to retract the shoes (9:10) to pull the drums. If you need to separate the drum from the hub, you need to undo the nuts which you will see on the inside of the drum (back side of the wheel studs) once it’s apart.
I have not had to remove one yet, but if I recall - you remove the nut on the inside of the brake drum and then press out the old stud, press in the new one - and re-install the nut.
Thanks - Balancing audio levels is something I continually struggle with - everything sounds balanced while I’m editing, but then once published they seem to be off. I believe in later videos I do get a little better as I have learned a few more tricks, but still one of my biggest editing frustrations. Out of curiosity, did you view the video on a phone/tablet/computer or TV? And were you using headphones or speakers?
