Ive always left my brakes released if possible while caging. Tighten nut down 2 threads and set brakes. Takes 30 seconds.

Do you have to have the old brake chamber set up a certain way to make your measurement to cut the new rod? for example, do I need to check measurement before I back off the slack adjuster and or cage the chamber to remove the drum if i'm changing drums and shoes along with new chambers

This comment might be to late....lol, but to whoever is new watching this Video, Grey Pneumatic makes this special socket for caging brakes, I've had one for years, its just an extra long 3/4 socket in 1/2 drive...

How do you turn the pot a quarter turn on a Pete 389 drivers side front axle to take the air hoses away from the drive shaft ?

On a 30/30 long stroke it is hard to cage the bolt because it further sunk in the can. Also on a 30/30 short or long. Cut the rod at 4.25 inches. But you have to measure the rod length while the rod is fully extended.Then after you cut the rod to the proper length. Put the clevis on. Then install the cage bolt.

"But you have to measure the rod length while the rod is fully extended." Good point and a time saver. I would just add (and you probably already know this) that the old one should be inspected for proper length, because in my five decades plus of working on big rigs, I've seen quite a few which were too long or short.

What's the part number on the Matco tool?

Hi important question please, Can I remove a brake chamber (rear side) without caging it? Reason is the top side of the place rusted and the spring bushed half way open, so scary. That open place where you insert the stud is not in line again due to the impact from the rust.

What are some of the signs you get when it starts to fail.

Now do it with the clevis pin and cotter pin all rusted up and stuck. Now the real fun begins

Yeah, once you have to cage one with a crescent wrench, that socket is a must lol. The Haldex 30/30 already has the caging bolt installed. Looks like its riding around with caged brakes and they're much easier.
