I am not a diesel mechanic, just a regular mechanic who has worked on cars, and trucks, Built Harley-Davidsons from scratch, etc. And I have driven as a CDL driver for 20 some years. I can do brakes in my sleep but never tried doing my own brakes on my tractor, always paid others...Why? Because everybody I have ever known told me brakes on a tractor were very complicated and you need special tools etc. What you just did is simple, and you teach it very well. You made me realize this brake principle, brakes technique, is something I can do and should have been doing for myself all along. Thank you very much for the videos.
"hit with hammer
If it doesnt come loose use bigger hammer" quality life advice 😂
lol needs more hammer
If the bigger hammer doesn’t work….
Your problem is electrical.
Use the purse haha.
I just wanna say that this made me a lot more comfortable the fact that I will start my apprenticeship soon on being a Diesel Mechanic. Thank you for being so descriptive within this video!
Glad was able to help. 💪🏼🔧
I started mine about 6 months ago it’s actually a great career. Luck to you sir
I started mines yesterday with loves who you guys with
I'm a journeyman auto mechanic for most of my career(35 yrs.), but did spend 5 of that working for a trucking company, and now I'm going back into working for another trucking company, so it was really nice to see a really straightforward video on something that is so crucial, braking and stopping!! Great video TAT😅😅
I'm a driver at a small company who has had the opportunity to work on our trucks myself and these videos are just awesome. Thank you !
Quick clean to the point no bs no getting dizzy with bad camera work Thank you sir well done bro!
I'm a heavy equipment mechanic since 1982, working at an open pit mine for the last 19 years and haven't replaced brakes on an airbrake system in several years, but the other night I had to adjust the brakes on a Navstar 6900XD and thought about looking at newer videos to see if any changes have come about. Your video was great and will definitely help newer mechanics and owner/operators maintain their trucks safely. Well done Brother
How the work environment in an open pit mine job? Was thinking about working at a rock pit once I'm fully certified and get some experience in
@@danielheady2786 it's not bad, I work 12.5 hr shifts 3 on 3 off 4 on 4 off. We are union and they don't kill us at work. Safety is very big here. I have worked here for 19 years. I was a Machinist with the railroad prior to this and prefer working on Locomotives but heavy equipment isn't too bad. We have 15 260 ton haul trucks running, 2 electric shovels and 2 very large loaders for ore. We support about 60 pieces of equipment and have 57 mechanics and the shop runs 24 7 most times working in the shop is with a partner or 2. We don't rebuild components as we are not set up as a rebuild shop so a lot of troubleshooting, remove and replacement.
@@tomsparks2294 for me that sounds cool ive always wanted to be a technician/mechanic even if the task is tedious
@@danielheady2786 If you ever get into a mine, I can't speak from experience about an underground mine but they scare the hell out of me. Open pit is dangerous but much safer then underground.
i really dont appreciate you making this look so easy lol jk thanks for simplifying
Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe
He's lucky to not have the inner wheel stuck on the hub otherwise the video would have taken an interesting turn.
Especially with the installation. I actually install using the other method because it is way easier for me because I could never ever get it right using the method shown here, and ive only seen like 2 other mechanis do it the other way that I do.I dont put the rollers on the brake shoes first but last, basically the opposite order than shown here.
@@trailerfitter2 that's why lube your hubs so its easy lol
When you got the right tools u can't lose
Nice job. Only thing I would do differently is use a properly calibrated torque wrench to torque the lug nuts to 450 ft/lbs
And oil lugs on hub pilots
Over here we tighten them with 700Nm/515ft/lbs. Though our trucks are more heavy duty in general.
Dude, let's talk about how great this video was. Great lighting, good camera, the presenter was awesome speaking very clearly. And he even put on a polo shirt and trimmed his beard! I mean seriously, this is great.
Yeah, it honestly didn't look much harder than changing drum brakes on my Toyota. Only extra work is putting it on jack stands.
I enjoyed watching this. I'm a driver, not a mechanic but I do enjoy seeing how stuff is done when my truck is in the shop
Good tutorial!! I was taught this exact same way!! Like detail to detail!! I interned for a bus shop and was taught by 4 mechanics with over 80 years of experience all together!
that's cool. having good teachers right off the bat is so important. I worked in a really bad shop at first thankfully one of the managers was a really good tech and I learned a lot from that man.
I’m currently an automotive tech and recently decided to make a change and head towards diesel. Loved this video. Learned so much in 20mins. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you for watching and I am glad you were able to learn more. Make sure to hit that sub button
I came from the automotive industry and I just started today in diesel and let me tell you man, it's no joke. I'm already changing brakes and doing tires.
Wise decision to leave automotive to go to diesel
@@ysig7749 how is it so far I’m thinking about doing that too
@@Luiiramirez after a year and a half of doing it I don't see myself doing anything else because I absolutely love it.
This was the best spent 20 min all day.
Haven't done that in... many years.
You do make it look easy 🙂
Awesome and very informative! Thanks for sharing the tutorial!
Man that was a great video. Making a switch from automotive to Diesel. Thanks a lot for the knowledge.
Just came back to say this, I started a couple months ago as a tractor tech, I had watched this video and a few others of yours before day 1 (I came from the ironworker union so I didn’t know shit) all your videos put me ahead by a bunch and I got bumped up to being an actual diesel mechanic already. Appreciate you and your videos🤙🏼

i learned a lot watching your videos! thank you for the knowledge!
Amazing video, very detailed and straight to the point. Thank you.
Appreciate this video, but at our shop we torque the lug nuts to a certain torque with a torque wrench to ensure that the wheels don't fly off when driver is driving down the road
Great video man! You made it look easy!

Great job boy
nice tips bro
Happy to help
Great 👍 Video thank you bro!
Nice something all truckers should know
Thanks for watching
Great video. The only thing missing is at the very end I expected you to mention how to properly adjust the brakes. From other videos I saw they adjust new shoes tight and then 1/4 turn back. For reinstalling old shoes you go tight and 1/2 turn back. Is this what you recommend? Thanks!
Thxs brother great job
Great video thank you
great video
i loved this video it has now allowed me to change brakes on a truck at the age of 14 but i just was thinking because were i work after were done with anything to do within the wheels we torque the wheel nuts so i just was just wondering do should you torque your wheel nuts?
Thank you
Nice I taught to block the front tires release the brakes jack up the truck back off the slack adjuster and then remove tires followed by the drum. It works for me plus Im mobile service too
I'm try to start my on mobile service business if possible can you give me some ideas or Advice on what tools I need an how to get business for my company please
Great video!
Thanks master
Great Video My Fiend
Please show the viewers to properly torque the wheel, if there not torqued correctly it will be uneven and will lead to wheels go flying at highway speeds, other than that this video is pretty informative👍
That’s for sharing your input. Be sure to subscribe.
Thanks 🙏. It was useful
John, we are glad to help. 👍🏼
Thank you man.
You're welcome!
I want to start a channel working on my Mci bus. Great video
Nopal, you should do it. Thanks for watching. Be sure to sub
Badiya trick video 🎉🎉❤❤
Your the man
Awesome just awesome
Would you not use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel nuts to the correct spec??
Easy as pie. Just like service the brakes on my Japanese Kai car. The only difference this requires 100x the effort and muscle. Seriously thanks for making the excellent video.
I wish working on big trucks in Canada Was that easy. I wish I could bring down one of our trucks for you guys to work on with all the salt that we have. Lol
When we hit the drums, we have to use a sledgehammer lol
I wanna work with you please...love how the workshop is well set up and spacious.
