This guy is a true old school mechanic, great to see some still exist, thank you

This is what I class as the difference between a fitter and a mechanic. A fitter will find the broken part and fit a new one. A mechanic will strip the part down and replace what the part needs at a fraction of the cost. 👍

alot of that has to do with liability and warranty. if those things werent so bogus these days the simple repairs would still be a thing

Finally a guy who isn't afraid to show how to do this the "old school" way. Even though it can be dangerous for those who don't know what they're doing, Ezrider shows us how! Many Thanks.

this guy is my freaken hero, ive learned so much watching his videos

Good old school mechanic work right there 👍😎👍

It always looks so much easier watching other people do it than when it’s cold and you’re in a gravel lot and drop shit everywhere because your hands don’t want to work.

This dude is an unbelievably helpful mechanic! One of absolute best!

Keep a pancake gasket in the truck. Changed them out on the road many times. But we have turned into a throw away country. Everyone wants to replace now days. And so many things we used to rebuild. Now can't even get a rebuilt kit for.

@@grren1782 no but if the parking brake side fails in 3 months and a mechanic that isn't mechanically inclined enough to do anything more than bolt up assemblies comes to look at it he'll definitely say the last mechanic was a hack and did a "patch job" instead of properly fixing it and that's why we're in this position now. He'll end up looking like the hero.

Hey man, your channel is a huge help. I had only been driving for a year or so before I got volentold to take over Dad's truck. He had really neglected the care of it, so I'm doing what I can to improve the truck and support him. Thanks for helping me make a dollar go a little further.

Simple and straight to the point. Great help, thank you!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for suppying these repair videos. I am not a mechanic, but I have been trying to do some small repairs on my 96 kw t 800 dump truck. Your channel has helped me to gain confidence in trying to do some repairs and I have been been able to fix problems with the help of your channel.

We used to have one of the ones you could disassemble where we cut the spring with the torch to freak people out. A guy I worked with took it to the parts house and asked the guy how to replace the diaphragm. He had the clamp off, but couldn’t figure out how to get it apart. All the guys dove behind the counter when they saw what he had sat on the counter. 🤣🤣

You are great, you taught us everything very quickly, I am Pakistani Canadian truck driver for 26 years. Very thankful to you.

This guy would be welcomed in a SHTF world, his skills would be extremely valuable for any prep group.

You definitely know how to keep ur repairs low cost at home ! Thanks for sharing

Theses shops don’t even do that these days, they want to put a new can-on there. Great help letting people see the simple way to fix it once they understand how to do it.

Simple rule of thumb I've learned is once those cans begin to rust. I just replace all of them. Saves me the headache of going down the road and one of them going out.

I'm 44 an became disabled about 9 years ago and had to stop working. I was a tow truck driver in Nashville Tn (towed all from cars to over the road trucks) but on the down time I wrench in our trucks and miss it so much. Just thought I'd say I really enjoy watching your video's cause it brings back old memories . keep up the good work.

Certainly beneficial info . There’s a lot of owners that can benefit from this service information . U instructed them on how NOT to get hurt .

Thanks so much man! Just the video I needed! Love watching! I know your busy in the spring but I’m anxious for the next big red video! Have a good day brother!

Love your videos bro. Always learning new stuff that I will never service. 👍👍

Keeping em on the road killer! I worked on Army trucks for 20 years and the chassis are exactly the same as any commercial truck. You do what needs doing to get the job done. Luv the channel!

Dude!! Im glad i found your page!! I've got a 1984 wanderlodge RV I'm having trouble recovering after a few brake presses I think one of my cans is leaking after looking at your video I'm also chasing down possible air leaks and the prospects of having prospects of having a bad compressor but the dryer looks good seems to be dumping like it's supposed to pressure builds up to about 145 PSI it just takes a while. I'm thinking though that if the diaphragm were leaking I should hear it hissing.

Thanks for the video and advice.

Awesome video boss!!❤️🙏🏻thank you for sharing knowledge 🙏🏻🖖👍

Mad respect for doing this and sharing it with the community but I’m too young to die. I just got a extra chamber for each axle.

thanks for this video you made it easy. I just spent $160 on a new brake chamber from the dealer. This was way cheaper. Thanks 😎

Absolutely genius.. thanks for the tip

Handy tip...Always be safe. Good job.😎

Step one should have been apply park brake or foot pedal and vise grip the push rod so the service side spring is applied allowing easier service diaphragm installation and tension off service spring, then cage bolt, then clamp remove.. works like a charm ASE Certified heavy truck and bus.

Release brakes and back off the slack adjuster until it just starts to pull the push rod. The piston plate will help hold the diaphragm in place as you reassemble the can. If been doing this since 1970

I noticed the side note you mentioned about how cutting the rods on new cans can be a pain in the ass. Over the years, we've noticed most guys screw up cutting them, so now we just replace air cans in pairs. 30/30 LS with welded clevis. Been smooth sailing ever since.

I was more referring to when you have a break can leak when your on the road away from the shop working with just basic hand tools pancake can be done with a cresent wrench and a pair of vice grips in 10mins take you that long just to cut the push rod to length with a hack saw. In the shop it's no big deal
