I’m an owner operator just want to say thank you very much for your videos saved me several times.

I sincerely thank you for your videos, sir. They have helped my OO journey tremendously.

That was a neat trick with the second nut to clear away the burr on the end. Ain't no substitute for experience Gordon! Little tricks like that can save so much time and hassle that's for sure!

this guy gives some good advice !!! Especially on how he gave the knowledge of how to use two nuts before you cut the threads so that you can clean the thread once cut !!! Good man ! thumbs up

Thanks Gordon I've been driving for 10 years and imma be buying first truck next week and you're videos will be a big money saver!!!! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!!

I use damaged aluminum car rims or old steel rims as safety stands. They don't tip, they don't crush, and they work on sand and earth. Thousands of vehicles in salvage yards are stored on old rims. Some 4x4 blocks come in handy too. I gave away my jack stands long ago.

You gotta admire the old timer's vernier caliper precision measuring 12:15 , a screwdriver and a thumb, no disrespect intended, these truckers never break down, know their stuff and thats why we owe them a great debt, they keep the economy going rain or shine. Hat off to you mate, from the UK

I enjoy watching ur videos and learning. I have a bus with airbrakes and find ur videos easy to follow, thanks

Thank you for the sacrifice!! Be blessed!!

You sir are a god send, thanks for the videos.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thank you kindly, Mr. Gordon Robertson DIY, for your great efforts, and for your time. I think the "Induction Innovation" tool is a great help for unscrewing such hard rusted nuts& bolts.

thumbs up for the camera setup!

Another very informative video, thank You.

I love spring time when you hear the bird singing away in the trees!

Thanks for showing your videos Keep it up PLEASE!!!! I am learning a Lot THANK YOU!!!!

You are so helpful!! Thanks a lot Gordon, I’m new on this business, and I’m learning a lot from you...🤙🏾

Thank you for going threw the trouble to show us

Excellent video, nice description. Thk u.

Great video. Finally a man with the knowledge to teach us about semi's; your apprentice greatly appreciates.

I would love to see a video on were you take the slack adjusters apart and clean them then put them back together because mine doesn't seem to work properly anymore and they're kind of expensive as always thank you Gordon for another great video

Thank you for the help and your videos

I've learned more from your videos than what I learned in classes

Appreciate the video, Gordon.

real world application always is different than a perfect shop environment

quite the camera setup, awesome video as always

thanks, taking my air brakes endorsement on the weekend. Need as much info as I can get.

You can use a cage bolt to run the rod in and won't have to worry about air pressure.

please, please put in the caging bolt to contain that spring in the chamber. if the chamber is rusted thru or you aren't sure what you are doing --- that spring could take your head off. when the park button is pulled, pop the plug on the end of the chamber. the key slot should be centered in the hole. if not, the spring is broken, the chamber needs to be replaced. when the park button is "in"and you hear air escaping around the chamber, the chamber needs to be replaced. have someone step on the brake pedal- if you hear air escaping, the pancake has a hole rubbed in it and the pancake needs to be replaced. incidentally the boss where the fittings screw in, if they are square be sure the new chamber has the same square boss'- they identify a long stroke chamber. you want the same on both ends of the same axel. if there is air leaking on the qrv- quick release valve- (the small one on the frame) it needs to be replaced.,

thank you sir. and God bless you always.

Hi Gordon looks like you need to rotate top can so the airlines are like they were before. great video

That was excellent information, thank you very much

How do you go about getting the fitting back into the hose if the fittings came out

Thumbs up for the "foot by square eye" measurement device!

Thank you for the helpful information.

Very good detailed instructions.

great video!! u make it look so easy!

2:19 turned off camera to swear a whole bunch then turned back on to continued recording.

It is not the same as lifting that axle with the hydraulic jack to lift it with the air bags. the same air lines are used or are separate lines??

Thanks for the video and the insight

Good work my brother God bles you

Old school way love it.

Thanks for the vid, I have a leaky brake chamber I have to replace soon.

Thanks this is all great information.

It's tight the whole way because you still have pressure on the s cam, so every time you turn the nut the chamber arm extends with it.

Good stuff brother! Keep em coming! I just subscribed

thank you for your video, very helpful, very good explain.

awesome video man! thank you!

This video really helped me understand how these work. I was wondering if when replacing one break chamber, do you need to replace both sides?

I always buy the brake chamber with the welded clevis that way I dont have to cut the shaft, makes the job a lot faster

thanks for very informative vids,happy 4 july.

U r dam amazing... I love every video u post

Thankyou I learned more hear than anywhere

When replacing the 30/30 chambers, do you have the brakes released or set?

Please exercise extreme care handling these brake/spring chambers. When I served in the military, I heard stories from the mechanics where that spring can travel with great speed and violence up to a quarter mile away or more. Imagine what damage one could sustain from it.

Release your brakes and pull the pins and it'll be a lot easier to unbolt.

Great video Just the effort you put on Yhe last chamber its gone too Or need to go hole up Any way great video

If you use anti-seize on pins and threaded fasteners you won't have to fight them next time.

Nice video, question why did you check how far out cleave was out from face of 30/30 I check from inside just in case that spring was bad . then made a tool that goes into one side of chamber to supply air to compress the other end so can put the Jesus bolt in , and turn were the air lines hook up . Thank you for the part about the fegure 8 part were it mounts

Air up the spring side or cage it or back off the slack until it floats. Then pull your pins. Been doing these for 42 years

Awesome vídeo, I like this 😃

What a wealth of knowledge. Can we donate?

Good video would like to see a video of universal joint replacement

Thanks alot. You saved this commercial beekeeper.

Carl!!!...from Slingblade!!!

I have a question for you, through the whole process, are the brakes applied or released?

Great video bro.

Thanks Mr.

Good job 👍🏼

Awesome video gordon

Great video

Uses a blue wrench, it fits all !

Can’t stop thinking of the carnage that can could cause in between his legs!! Highly unlikely but anytime I’m working on or around the cans all I can think of is the people unscrewing the clamps and taking them out!!!

I am a first time owner of a semi. It is an 07 Mack. I had the frame extended and a dump body added to haul grains and feed for local farms here where I live in NY. Your videos will be a big help to me. The Mack has parking brakes on only one axle. Is that typical? How complicated would it be to change the other drive axle to have parking brake too?

very informative thank you

That a Boy My Man Gordon

could of used a C-clamp to get that rusted pin out that's usually what I would do. good video

Well done

THANK YOU FOR U JOB AND SUPER VIDEO

Did I see the cage bolt in on the new brake can during installation? I didn't notice when you put that in.

Can u plz explain how to take off the air pressure hose by releasing the break or by pulling it

Only problem I see is putting a jack on rear end housing. They will break.

Hi, how do you know which hose is for the hold off chamber and which hose is for the service brake chamber?

you did a great job next time just hold that slack with vice grip and put caging bolt and removed air lines much fast 20 mins job

Good video man.

I always mount the brake chamber then cut it because the push rod you can cut it too short

Buen trabajo abuelo 👴 50 year experiencia

I put shop air to the spring brake side if the spring is broken and unable to cage.

11:05 make that pin loose. Could you use a socket and clamp to release that pin when was installed on truck?

Question how do you connect the video cam with that screen?

Jackstands, timbers or put a wheel back on, THEN you can get under there.

Thank you Awesome.

You should secure underneath buddy it's dangerous down there you should put a rim under the breakdrum

Gordon do you still work on your fld? I want to do an in frame rebuilt, can I pay you to do that? I have the same exact truck as your a fld120 97 dd60

Good wark 👍👍

Awesome

good video.,

On 98 %of trucks run the lock nut all the way to the bottom of the threads and leave enough thread to fill the clevis. Trailers you have to measure.

Good Job ....

You spent one hour to reuse a four dollar clevis? I can do this job in one hour. but, I am a surgeon with a cutting torch.
