only one point mate you should not be working underneath with out correctly supporting the. axle I know it saves a few minutes but if jack fails which they do youknow the result

Brave man working on that whilst it’s sat on a bottle jack.

@davidellis279 2 жыл бұрын

Being an 8wheeler there’s not much danger working on the vehicle with that Jack,that being said prevention is better than cure and would have used a trolly Jack because it has a bigger lifting pad and if for any reason the vehicle moved the Jack would move with it against toppling off that bottle Jack letting the axle drop which might or might not have hurt you but everyone has their own way of getting the job done.

Scania drum brakes are still the most piss easy ones to do. The older Renault kerax was a right bollox of a job. Had to knock out a wheel stud to get the drift on the anchor pins. Thankfully its years since I was on the tools full time.

@Professional-struggler 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I agree the brakes have got easier in time, never done them but have done some that you have to knock out the studs to get to the pins! You must be old school?

@davidbonnett5441 2 жыл бұрын

Man rear axles you knock stud out and stupid torx bolts hold backplates on. One thing I would say though, stick an axle stand under axle, especially when beating wheels off. Not a health a safety wanker, just good practise. Love the fact you lubricate things, you need to tell some of our techs to do the same 😂

An old boy who I worked with told me when I did my first brake shoes, if you get your trusty tippex pen out and mark a line on the face of the pin where your notch is, it is a lot easier to line it up for your grub screw.

Nice one just done this today lol How tf are the 3rd axle slack adjuster fixed to the s-cam shaft? Does it have a cover for the circlip or a central bolt? I only ask as I’ve removed slack adjusters before but they’ve always have a circlip and these just have a cap (these are very very caked in concrete but i cannot make out any kind of clip) 🤷‍♂️😂

@Professional-struggler 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry mate only just seen this! They’ll deffo be a circlip or bolt in the centre of the cam, I had a Daf the other day I had to remove the cam because the adjusters was buffed up to the diff... nightmare job, hope you’ve cracked it pal.

@stemartin6671 3 жыл бұрын

@@Professional-struggler cheers Chris buddy, they have a bolt through the centre with what I think is a dust cap, the bolt and recess was so full of cement and rust it took about half an hour to get it cleaned up enough to get the socket on it haha 😂 Still got a few jobs left to do on that old girl tho so we will be dancing again next week 🤦‍♂️😆 Cheers for the reply too buddy great stuff!!! 😉👍

Hello Chris mate, wondering if I can get some advice on a job? I’ve got some brake back plates to change on a Renault volumetric cement truck, and one is on the rear axle (these have hub reducers I believe) and two on the 2nd steer axle. Is there a way to do this without pulling the whole f@cking hun and half shaft off? The place I’m at doesn’t have wheel guns or owt so it’s a nightmare pulling wheels and hubs down lol 😂 I fitted one by splitting the back plate and fitting like that is that something you’d do? I’ve only ever done split backplates and I really don’t want to pull the hub off if possible 😂 Cheers bud

@Professional-struggler 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah don’t do all that just for back plates! Cut them in half dude! Perfectly legal as long as there secure! Be legal without them but cement trucks get shit up! I hate cement trucks especially working on the back, good luck dude!

Do you always remove the wheels? I used to find it easier taking out the half shaft and wheel bearing and sliding the drum off with the wheels attached over a grease plate. Gave a bit more room around the brakes.

Yeah you could do it that way, I don’t have all the hud nut sockets on my van, I do that sometimes on trailers if the drum is sound! Cheers Chris 👍

@francisgaliegue6645 2 жыл бұрын

OK, that was one thing I was wondering with axles and 4 wheels (what are they called? Double axles?): were the brakes on the outboard or inboard wheels... Now I know :) Also, I was wondering: is there a TPMS on modern trucks and trailers? Given the stiffness of the sidewalls on the tyres, my guess is that you won't detect a slow puncture with the required visual checks...

@Gigaguenther 2 жыл бұрын

no not as standard. and you can visually detect an outright flat but a slow pressure loss will only be caught by regularly checking tire pressure as any motorist should be doing anyway
