Ya that’s slick! Then no need to measure and cut the end that connects to the slack adjusters right? My break pots in the front portion are always packed with mud I can’t get a cage bolt in.. what would happen if I took off that clamp closer to the axle without caging the break pot?
@@justinriben8197 if the parking spring inside was broken up good, nothing it would just fall off. If the spring is still somewhat intact, it would shoot off like a rocket. The parking spring has about 15,000 lbs of force so don’t put your face in front of the chamber when you take it off without caging it.
Correction “wheel vehicle mechanic “ 63B20. 2 nd echelon service on 1/4 ton - 5 ton military vehicle . Recently did service deuce and 1/2 wrecker out in Thousand Palms, California.
I never understood why they would brake apart a new chamber just to use half of it. The service side of the new chambers were everywhere, had to trash them.
Great detailed video
Thank you
Wow all with one hand great video
I know I was impressed. The dude is a pro.
shorter and easy teaching you guy smart technician thank you
Excellent work thank for all
Nice vídeo thanks for help me a lot.
Nice job, would love to have a pit at our shop. It's a pain one arming the piggy back laying down whilst getting the clamp around lol
@@mattelsom5487 alternative is to have two separate LARGE ramps with aisle between them.That’s the way US Army does it.
Brakes are set, no air when replacing the chamber. There are many different ways to change them and this is just one way how I do it.

I cannot believe how easy you can take off those air lines.. I always thought once those fittings were put on tight they are stuck solid.
Just gotta get a good bite with the wrench and usually they’ll come right off
Is it 3 inch diaphragm or 3 and half? For a square hole?
Good video
When you put the vice grip on the push rod, did you do it while someone was pressing on the brakes?
No, brakes were set. Both knobs out.
Yo bro when your cracking the two lines are the brakes applied or releaseed?
Applied
Is this a semi trailer?
Yes, same exact process for most brake chambers regardless of truck or trailer
Not the way it is done in the military. 63B20 preventive maintenance mechanic U.S. ARMY since 1972.

Congrats. Nobody cares
Made your life hard their boy release trailer brake while connected then change away
It leaked too bad, hence why I’m changing it.

Just buy a new half chamber instead of a full chamber.
