well, how much ya know about big trucks? a good start might be to apply some grease to the s-cam tubes. NOT ALOT OR YOU WILL SQUIRT GREASE OUT OF THE TUBES ONTO THE BRAKE SHOES. are the brake backing plate still on? alittle p-blaster or kroil to the rollers where they meet the shoes will help.
then there's the hammer. don't go crazy with it. brake drums are plenty expensive.
by the way, remember to back off the slack adjusters. grease them BEFORE YOU try to back them off. oh yeah, how ya gonna put air to the truck to back off the emergency brakes.
like i said. how much do you know about big trucks??? hang with us. we will help you all we can!
