Love the name BoneCrusher! I can’t wait for those wheels to be painted as well hahahah. I’m 30 years old right now, I have been a Journeyman Lineman for 10 years but have always had a dream of being an O/O, may sound silly but I remember as a kid going on road-trips to see my Grandparents as a kid I saw Cab overs all the time, those trucks were the ones that caught my eye, so I bought one, been working on her with my son trying to get her ready, hopefully I can work hard out there and become successful, always looked up to the truckers and wish I could talk with a few that are willing that are around me but it seems they are few and far between because of all the steering wheel holders that have no respect for the heavy rigs they drive or the lives around them 🤷. I love the old school trucks and the drivers who drove them because y’all were the “professional drivers!” Anyways I’ll stop typing a paragraph here hahah but thanks for your time out on the road bud and hope ya have a good weekend!
These videos are worth gold, One had seen something of this, But not in such detail, In my country it is a system that is still very much in force, Seeing this, It really clarifies many things, And who knows if I will need this in the future!, Excellent Steve
A lotta hard work. I used to do a lot of these brake jobs and wheel seals with my dad back in the 70s & 80s. Nice video Steve. With no help ...these are really hard to do. Even harder when you ain't no spring chicken.
Excellent job brother I'll learn a lot from watching your channels. Keep up the hard work man you're doing an excellent job can't wait for you to eventually dig back into that Detroit motor.
Steve you can run aluminum outer tires while running steel rims with older stud pilot tires. All you would need to change is the inner tire nut to the longer one. I ran an 88 Peterbilt with outer aluminum rims that way.
You hand torque 20 lug nuts to 500 ft lbs and see how winded you're afterwards. I pulled wrenches on semi trucks plus drove them for a farmer and trust me I respected everyone in the freaking shop. Why when it's 20 below you're battling frozen brakes with a hammer and flares to thaw them out.
But the stud has to be longer so the aluminum wheel isn’t just riding on the empty center of the inner nut, it needs support inside, or they will crack or break the whole wheel and rim off...
Great job with the seal rebuild or replacement, I’ll be doing my seals soon. Great job showing and telling, keep on trucking see ya next time see ya bye.
Another good video as usual I learned a lot this morning I will be a bad diesel mechanic after I'm watching your videos enjoyed it can't wait for the next one
Excellent job Steve, safe that you know it is done correctly 👍. Be interesting to calculate how many revolutions an axle does, ref distance (Truck miles) divided by tyre circumference. Great video, thanks for sharing. Best regards from the UK. John.
Steve I have change way to many brakes in the past. Next time with the shoe on the floor set the large spring with rollers in shoes for s-cam then swing top shoe first followed by lower. Next using vise grips on the two spring at anchor pins, prying vise grips using long pry bar off axle tube.
Question would putting some Red Loctite help those two nuts from coming lose? That's a shame on the axle cap the blue paint got beat with the hammer and all those paint chips. Could have covered it when hitting it to loosen it lol who cares right it's just a old beat up work Truck as you always say.... Soon it won't be worth fixing it awesome video...
Worked in a large local parts house. We sold pass car/ light/ med/ truck parts and popular parts for heavy trucks. I've turned thousands of light drums and rotors and lots and lots of trailer drums. Relined shoes. "Back then, 70's into the 90's we sold CR, Victor, National, Stemco seals, Timken bearings and others I hate the "now" modern world. Our manager rebuilt brake cans. We had a big piece of a spring brake "dynamiter" can that had imbedded in the door some feet from the press. I'm 73
I had the ultimate failure in a parking brake system. The fitting on the parking brake chamber blew off while moving at 45 mph. The accident that resulted from it killed someone coming the other way. The accident reconstruction team said it was a 1 in a trillion chance of that ever happening again.
Try using a big adjustable wrench and put it on the lower brake shoe and backing plate to use as a lever to put the lower wheel cylinder in place. It takes seconds.
Fore the first time never seen what the inside the break chamber look like. That is why you don't play around with pressure the chambers or you will have a huge rocket in your hands. Was the whole chassis colored in blue?.. looking at the leaf spring it looks like it was when the dirt and grease are cleaned off. I bet Orwell was a show truck.
Hello my friend, got a question hope you can answer with your experience, what are the common sizes for truck wheel bearing locknuts to keep in the tool box?
I have always used Foaming oven cleaner for leaking wheel seal clean up! Works really good but if ya leave it to long there will be ZERO paint left hahah
A man who definitely ate his Wheaties this day. Torquing 500# lug nuts is tough. One thing that concerns me and I've noticed this on a few of the videos. The huffing, puffing and shortness of breath may indicate some health issues. Get that checked out with your doctor. You're much too young to be experiencing this even though the work you are doing is strenuous.
Winterberry sounds like a bell like these do they're no good you should replace them marriage not that expensive that's something you should know and please take the wheels they need Paint
Don't you love how thin the new brake linning is 30 + years ago when I done this on the one's I drove the shoes were 3/4" -1" thick now your new shoes are maybe little over 1/2" took the truck in im driving now to have the brakes lined guy said you got plenty left I said well I've put 185000 miles on the factory ones and it want stop when loaded heavy he went in back got new set said well look I said sh_t where's the rest of the pad part of the shoe he said that's all you get now a day's pay twice price for half the shoe pads unreal I said he said welcome to the screw you truck owners of today I said well I don't own it but that's bull Sh-t for sure he just laughed said sign and pay at the desk on the way out time they got done was $ 1254.00 but it had to have 2 drums also but hauling heavy in the Wv. - Va. mountain's it steep to get to coal prep plants also the other 14 states I run its just part of the game these day's but glad you take and show how hard it is sometimes to fix stuff on these trucks I'm with a company now I just stop at shop and say fix it my back and knees can't take the hard physical working on them anymore just went Tuesday had 2 nerve block's done on my back so I'm about done with trucking well the body is the mind says your not that old wrong but part of getting older I guess but stay safe and keep the video's coming
Let a old man tell you what seal to use on every axle seal. It is the Stemco leather with wear ring. They will run 3 times longer than these turn inside themselves seals. The kind you are using just will not hold up in the real world. I'm 75 and have been a truck mechanic for over 50 years. I found out nothing and I mean nothing will work better than the leather Stemco. You should use the right tools to install them but you don't have too.

Proper job as they say in Cornwall UK, Steve.
Good job, big guy 😎👍🛠
7:32 I use to carry extra of those and a caging bolt when they blow you won't move the truck.

Allowing for wear, a tire will average 1,111.5 revolutions per mile. Let your imagination run free.

Steve I don't know a thing about working on trucks or cars. I do like watching u work on Orwell. I do learn a little something, for good or bad 😯👍
Job well done!!!
Nice Job !!! Looks like you might have done it a time or two !!
Thanks nice video man
Keep On Truckin 🤔🤔🤔
Nice wheels
You don't pack the wheel bearing?

U know what I'm taking about if u use that shinny stuff tin man
is there a requirement to lift up on the torque wrench rather than push down ?
Floating hubs make it so much easier. My last rig had Dayton hubs, brake jobs not so fun
Just wondering when Orwell will get the new drive tires and wheels?
Love your videos, do you think you'll ever stretch the frame on Orville?

Was the whole chassis colored in blue?.. looking at the leaf spring it looks like it was when the dirt and grease are cleaned off. I bet Orwell was a show truck.
I've changed a few of those U-bolts over the years and always put some thread lock on the threads. solved the "getting loose" problems.
Hello my friend, got a question hope you can answer with your experience, what are the common sizes for truck wheel bearing locknuts to keep in the tool box?
Tip.coat the gasket with never seize too
Steve you need to invest in a mechanics jump suit your better half would probably appreciate it just saying great video
Steve is there any tools you don’t have? 👍
The inner nuts are called inner cap nuts. I found that out when I had to replace all 40 along with the studs.
There is a easy way to do it I learn from a old timer he told me to use a crescent wrench an pull down on the end of the brake shoe
I have always used Foaming oven cleaner for leaking wheel seal clean up! Works really good but if ya leave it to long there will be ZERO paint left hahah
Do you have the ALCOA rims on Orwell? Here in South Africa all the Peterbilts have them, guessing cast iron wheels would be harder to work with
What's up with painting/powder coating those rear steelies? Good brake job btw if you want it done right-do it right yourself 👍
Were you get the wheel seal tool??
are you doing brake shoes on both sides?
Is this something done as leakage presents itself or can/should it be done at some kind of interval?
i would of used a wobbly to get on that one ubolt bolt shuald of been fine anyways
