I'm glad I found your channel. Been watching you for years, now, ever since I got my own truck. You don't try too hard to be something that it takes away from just watching a normal, genuine dude fix trucks.

EZ, I was thinking how cool it might be to create a playlist with all your brake repairs. You have a lot on the topic of brakes and I am eternally grateful. Thank You!

I work for a small company. I don't care what others commented. Good job. We do our own brakes, tires, small engine work. Just did water pump lol. Keep doing your thing.

I’m an apprentice and this helped a lot. I keep taking long but I won’t anymore. Thanks man

Hey. Brother. Keep making. Videos. Learning. A Lot. Very. Educational

Who needs to mess with TA,Petro when you have Mr.Ezrider92352? Mr. Keep these videos coming.

I do the exact same method on brakes , been doing it for years and I feel it’s easier that way myself , love the videos

I've said it in other videos but from your videos I've learned to do a lot. Thank you

Helped a lot! I will potentially be working in the diesel field soon. Company mentioned that i could possibly be doing brakes and inspections. This video helped get an idea on how to do a brake job efficiently. Of course i wont quite as fast as you are, being that i have no big exp on doin the job a great number of times. But i am very thankful for the insight. Appreciate the video good sir.

Well damn. Finally a video showing how I do it except I have the fancy OTC tool for the 2 side springs. It’s amazing how fast and easy this way is compared to these guys messing with the other spring first. Keep up the great work bud!!!!

This is a great video. I try to change out those damn bushings as often as possible - can be real pain in the ass to get the old ones out. I also check the king pins before taking off the tire and drum. And you had way less trouble with getting that retainer spring on the back of the shoe than I ever have. Good to see someone who knows what he’s doing

Thanks! I'm primarily electrical/ Def/ engine. I ended up getting a brake job after finding a leaking axle seal. Had prior experience on drums from being the go to guy in the shop for drums on cars... anyways! Thanks for the quick refresher course

Good job and thanks for posting. This made me more confident in doing my own. Cheers.

good video! me and the guys at work always try to race each other to see who can finish faster, theres a tool for those springs but i really like your method!

After watching this I changed one out. I'm a bit slower maybe took me ten minutes! Great video. Keeping it simple. THANKS!!

Watch you from canada 🇨🇦, merci pour les vidéos thanks

Thank you!! Just beautiful! Thank you for all that you have shared. it's greatly appreciated!!

Keep doing great job and thank you from Worcester,MA

Amazing, you make things look so effortless, good job man!!! I have an International 4300 box truck that needs brakes. I gotta give it a go myself to save money. My slack adjusters are automatic. Any pearls of wisdom on how to loosen and then readjust the automatic slack adjusters? Your videos are great, THANK YOU!!!

Great. Video. Brother. Keep. Them. Coming. Very. Educational.

Thank you Sir! Best No Nonsense Brake Job Video on KZfaq.You Earned My Subscription. Be Safe and Keep Up The Good Work!

Its good to see someone care about safty from a fellow driver🙂

Thanks bro I always have a problem when I installed that small spring I learned the easy way to install thank you

Thank you very very much a little bit of extra knowledge does not hurt, this is another video just gonna go in my library thank you, Robert

Our company makes us change the S-Cam bushings when we install new shoes, adds a lot of time to a brake job Great video !

Lots easier than doing the brakes on my pickup truck. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for making these videos.

You did it one handed , you are savage salute to you, i did it today after watching your video thank you so much , it took me 2 hours to do two brakes😂

You explained everything very well great video!!

You are the best Man! God bless you, and keep up the great work!

Thanks my man! Made me look good at work today.

People...grease the slack adjuster at atleast once a mnth also the s cam itself....northern man here and when rust and build up go too far that whole camshaft will be a VERY fun time trying to back off. Great vid

Thank you looks simple enough I’ll be changing mine for the first time ever wish me luck

Great simple to the point video. Thanks

Straight up , thanks for sharing. Subscribed 👍

Bro every time I want to buy spring break tool . I watch your video and remind myself I don’t need one . A medium flat head works well 95% of the time

Another outstanding no nonsense video brother 🚛🚛🚛

Nice job explaining it thank you so much for that .

Love it.. finally a mechanic that don't need 15 fancy tools to put on a spring.

That's exactly how I install mine. However, the screw driver to look in the retainer springs good idea. I'll try that at my next brake installation

Very helpful video man, thanks really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

Excellent tutorials. Keep on keepin' on.

Nice simple thank you I will try this weekend wish me luck

Very helpful when you trying to learn and save money

Gotta do this project soon hope it goes as easy for me

Great videos keep going sharing your knowledge so we learn a few more works THANK YOU

There you go and the 1st time you put the brakes on the drag will stop. That's that excess slack I was talking about. Good job!

I wish you lived closer to me lol good video bro

Great job buddy, we learn how to change the break shoes

Damn learned a new style of removing everything thanks for this vid man!!

Good video appreciate it

exactly right sometimes with your shim rollers you could just leave those in place but the new spring rollers I always attach

THANK YOU FOR THE TIP BUBBA..MUCH APPRECIATED

Thanks man!! I have to replace the brakes on 13 (4 axle) chassis. Cake now.

This is how instructional videos should be made! Thanks EZrider92356!

thank you. simple. straight forward.

This guy is soo awesome !!

Very helpful man. Thanks for uploading.

Very helpful video thanks for posting

Thatks for the vid bout to do brakes on truck today this helped a lot

Bro I think you should start a DIY school. Your videos are way much better than what they teach us in trade school....I sure learn alotta from your videos. I like how you make ur vids. Wish you had someone to help you with the camera bro.... Keep the vids coming

Thats basically called a shoe slap in our shop we replace and use the complete kit and always new drums but i understand what your trying to do thats educate these new guys props to you

Good stuff, we are all Learning😃

thanks for the video. very usefull

Awesome you are the best

i always used to take the trailer brakes up in the 70s after a lot of hill driving with a ring spanner and a hammer just turn them till they stop then back off half inch.

Nice job 👍

Very good video thanks

Best method for doing the anchor pins I've found is heating the spider red hot then using a ball joint press to pop out the pin. Then heat the sleeve red hot and try bending it up over itself near the slit on the sleeve. Takes an extra 15 minutes at most per axle

Thanks for the help!

Big spring first... AWESOME 😎👍👍

Thank you friend!!!!

Parfact brother 👍👍

Ball joint press works great for getting the old rollers out of the brake spider. And I use a bit of antiseize on the wide part of the roller on the brake spider and just a dab on just the shoulders of the s-cam rollers where the shoe seats.

Thank u sir great job

Very helpful !!! Thanks

That was awesome. Yeah if the pins are not too worn you can reuse them, I would have used a bit of grease on the high friction surfaces.

Hey let me ask your opinion, where I work we have some drivers who perform their tug test by dragging the tires. I have seen a few drag the trailer 30 feet before pushing the knob for the brakes on the trailer. I know tires take the brunt of the damage but what about brakes? If this continues on a regular basis would the brakes wear down from this? We have been going through tires like crazy cause of this.

Nice and quick!!

Great video thank you very much

Nice video very helpfull

Ball joint puller for the anchor pins. Heat on the spider is not the best unless u have to. Load up on the puller with your impact then use a mini sledge to hit the puller. Will come out every time with no heat. Just my 2 cents. Always good to try new tricks.

Thx for sharing, I’m currently restoring a 20 ton tag along trailer especially the brakes and single brake chamber I could tell that the existing push rods have been cut inconsistent. How do I cut the new push rod so they are done correctly ? I noticed the single brake chamber have no caging system or come with caging bolt. Do I need to air the system before I measure and cut the push rod ? Thank you

Hey dude . I’ve been following you for a while now ,and you are super handy and smart . I have a 5 axle flatbed trialer , and every single brake on her don’t release Except the front lift axle brakes , so I am guessing my problem is behind the first lift axle air tank ,because I ran alcohol in it and I drained all the tanks ,and I didn’t seem to notice any alcohol coming out off my train valve except the very front lift axle tanks . I spent so much money on this trialer , and every shop tells me something different. I do work on my truck & trialer myself, and I did pull all wheels to check and there is nothing wrong . What happens is every time push my brakes regardless easy or hard they stick and keep heating up till they smoke . All brakes are adjusted according to the stroke length, I thought they tighten up in the beginning, but they don’t ,they just won’t release. The drag isn’t crazy , it feels like the brakes are holding about 10 -20 psi in pressure only . Something else .... everytime I pull my trialer parking brakes when I’m parked at my yard , the valve ( brakes valve on the trialer ) keeps leaking and then engages after about 20-30 seconds . Could that be my problem? It is not that cold in Ontario yet, but I heated up all off my trailers valves today ,and drained the tanks . I noticed black greasy moisture coming out of my tanks .

Thanks for the video

Good video

I just hook the to small springs first, hang the big spring, put it on the pins and hook the big spring, then I stretch the shoe with a pry bar and slide my new rollers in. Boom done.

Good job !

I just had new brakes shoes and drum installed on the front axel on my 1995 step deck trailer and initially I had them backed off 1/4 of a turn and when loaded braking is smooth but when empty I am having issues when them locking up when applied. So I backed them off a 1/2 of a turn and still have the same issue. So I went up to a full turn just to see if that would make any changes and they still lock up when empty. Any ideas of what’s happening?

on a tandem semi when changing brakes would i need to do both axels ?

Great video Tks

Very good !!

That's the fastest I've seen them done, Great video. Any chance you would know where to get sleeper extension panels for a 2005 Peterbuilt 387..? 💛👍👍

What brand shoes you would recommend ? Meritor, Bendix, Haldex etc .

I like how u use the screwdriver and the spring goes in. I've been using vise grips and it seems harder than you'r way. Thanks

There’s a crow bar with a notch cut through the middle to help put on and remove that large spring that makes this job 100 times easier

ive used this method for years but used vice grips for the 2 anchor springs. Recently i started working at a new garage and they use dust shields, hard to get the inside one =/

Very good thank you

Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. It's important to understand how our trucks operate. How and where do you buy the brake pads? Do you need to know sizes or beans off brakes?

I've been wondering for a while what that rod and slot thing is on top of these slack adjusters, visible on the far one at 0:10. I know it rachets/ auto adjusts the slack adjuster, replaces the small arm behind the main connection to the brake chambers. But why is that adjustable? Doesn't the slack adjuster rachet 360 degrees? (as in the rectangular rod can be moved around the slack adjuster, as in why is that part adjustable and what difference does it make?).
