How to Replace Slack Adjusters on an Air Brake System

A pretty easy slack adjuster replacement. They don’t all go this easy. I’ve had to cut S-cams to get a slack adjuster off. I’ve had to melt the snap-ring out with a torch as well. There are bushings in the S-cam tubes that should be inspected and replaced. The ones in this truck probably should be replaced and may be replaced in the near future. **note** I should’ve put grease or anti seize on the S-cam shaft before reinstalling the new slack adjuster. I don’t get it right all the time. I want to thank the owner of this company for allowing me to record my repair videos. Thanks Boss Man.
