Another video of my working on the Western Star because I fix it more than I drive it. The S-cams needed replaced for awhile, But I also replaced wheel bearing because one was failing. Please be sure to like and subscribe! Thanks!
Gotta love it when stuff doesn’t get torqued down 😭 seen it many times to where wheels fall of with the hub 😂 due to not being done properly. But hey atleast it isn’t happening in our shop 🤣
Have new brakes and new drums on steers in Freightliner Century.i get knocking when I press on brakes. Especially on a heavy load. Think it can be s cams?
I had someone like him ruin my Freightliner front spindle , hub and bearings at TTT trucks in Summerville SC. A ruined vacation, a $750 tow job. All total was over $4,000! Never again!
Wondering what the situation is where you work is repairing your own vehicle a must or do mechanics usually take care of it and you get to show us how you doing it instead or something along those lines curious as I see a few places where trucks get dropped off where drivers annoy mechanics with how long it takes to get done
@@PossumKing cool to know now I understand better u must go there regularly to work on the rig as I hear the friendly banter hopefully in the future it's just cheap maintenance you go back with thanks for the video plenty of stuff I never knew about certain rigs
If a driver annoys me I’m a field mechanic I’ll leave that piece of junk sitting on the side of the road and you can pay someone else $200 just to look at it
Contaminated pads, dropped the bearing most likely damaging the cage, no torque and nowhere near enough bearing oil. This is why I prefer doing the repairs myself, you never know whos gonna be working on your money maker. I just about shit when he installed the new bearing races and seals. No inner cup so the bearings are supposed to be at a specific torque. Most likely damaged his brand new bearings due to over torquing. 😂
@@PossumKing I work on my own as well, and working on your own stuff is great, but it’s best to learn the proper way especially with brakes and stuff. We all have to learn how to do stuff is all, beating in the race and stuff like that is not good. And no matter what, shoes aren’t that expensive I’d never clean them just always put new.
It's when he tapped the race in not using a race driver that did it for me scary knowing you mess with this stuff. Because yes does it work but when you do shit like that it has to be by the book you greatly increase your chances of dying or killing someone or if you're lucky just totalling your truck so why not just go spend the $40 I know you have on a torque wrench and keep the print out in the box if you buy new parts shows you exactly how to do it there's a lot wrong here your good with your hands tho I give ya that
@@PossumKing I don't need to post my work and sure as hell would not be posting my work if my quality was like yours possum queen. Please humor me and post yourself doing a king pin lol your the kind of guy that don't even torque your u joint straps I bet.
