Straight to the point, no nonsense conversation. Thats what ive been looking for. Appreciated it sir.
I'm a yard hostler .
One trailer pod locked up..
Never caged a pod before this.
Yours was the first one that popped up.
Straight to the point.
No how's your mom jibber jabber.
Got it caged so I can move the trailer to the shop
Thank you. I'll be watching more of your vids👌🇨🇦
Thank you for the video!! My brake chamber airline been cut due to running over a tire recap and seen this video caged the brake and clamp the airline and made it to the closest shop
I ran it in until it stopping as well. Now I have two kids🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
You should've caged your brake chamber
Thank you for this video, very helpful. Saved me a service call.

Straight to the point, thank you for this video!
Thanks! You managed to explain what many others are unable to!
How can 56 viewers dislike this? Unbelievable .....
They are mechanic
Somebody is probably fuming saying “you’re doing it WrOng!”
How? 🙄
Back when I worked on trailers we would just torch the spring and let em pop and replace them.... So 56 other people were probably trained wrong like me 🤣
@@myronshockley6320 Tow truck drivers🤣🤣
They're competitors 😂
I welded 2 deep sockets together and made my own cagging bolt socket, I didn't have two weeks to wait to order one, keep those threads greased, it makes the job easier. THANKS for the tips on cagging. William
oddly .I DIDNT WANT TO spend time welding something up! so i used an end wrench!
Could have used a rod coupling nut and a box or open end wrench... just sayin'.
Thanks for uploading this!
I'm looking at buying an old trailer, and I might need to use this method to unlock/unstick the brakes.
Thanks for the video. This helped me out when I was in a jam, trying to clean up an old yard in the pouring rain
Thanks for the informative video. Very well explained.

Thank you for the info very well made!
Thank you for this helpful video. I really appreciated
Great job on the video!
Great video!!!
Excellent job
Perfectly Explained. GHANK YOU!!!!
I love your video it gave us knowledge to do this type of brakes. GOD BLESSED YOU SIR
Are all caging bolts the same? Great video
For adjusting ...the trailer air valve supply..need to be on park position..or push in ??
Thanks for video
awesome vid ,
Great video thank you. Now i know why i keep breaking off the tabs, got the Milwaukee impact cranking em' tight. Gotta switch over to the knuckle smacker.
Great video. Thanks.

What if ypur chamber donsent have a caging bolt is there ones that dont have them
I use a pass through ratchet and socket. On a lot of trash truck applications there is something right behind the can and you wouldn't be able to get the socket on the cage bolt.
Informative, thanks 👍 but question: once the bolt is extended out how do you get your tool off? Seems to me it would be good to use a rod coupling nut instead, and a box or open end wrench 😊
@@railroaded1991 if it is that close then I use an open end wrench
Love learning
Thank you 👍🏼💯
Excelent ... thanls a lot
Thank you
Thank you.
Thanks you Sr
What size is that socket?
That's how it's explained..... Thank you got my airline busted but got it thanks again
I would like to see this on a non Big Tech platform.
Please.
what size is the 5inch socket?
Question: If air is still supplied, will the service brake still operate with the spring brake caged? I say it will as it's no different than air holding the spring brake back. But 2 guys in the shop say it will not and that they've tried it before. I think if that is true then they has another problem. What say you, internet?
Depends on why you need to cage it. If road debris cut the air lines to the brake then no, it absolutely will NOT operate.
Is air pressure a problem and when uncaging do you just reverse until stopping?
Trying to move a bus right now
Air pressure should not be a problem. Usually when caging brakes on the side of the road it’s due to the lack of air pressure and the vehicle needs to be moved. So caging the brakes releases spring brake pressure and moving the vehicle can now be accomplished.
To uncage the brake chamber just turn the nut counter clockwise until the caging bolt can be removed. This applies spring brake pressure and now the vehicle cannot be moved without air pressure
Thanks,
Just wondering why they just don't use a free spinning washer nut or a flange nut so there are less parts to lose????
And the socket might be 5" deep but it's not 5" long and 5" deep.
Not a trucker or truck mechanic but those caging bolts are cheap enough that I'm going to buy a couple just in case I run across a trucker in need.😊
Please let me know on disc brakes.can you manually cage disc brakes

This will be my first time replacing my brake chambers on my trailer and i want to learn, but i also don’t want my face smashed, so my question is: Before i remove the brake chamber trailer brakes should be applied or released ?
thank you!
Released to remove all the brakes components, if you have access to air you can release the brakes and put the caging bolt in tighten up and then set the parking brakes if you lose air. It’ll save time and elbow grease, likewise when taking it out
So if a brake chamber locks up to move the truck or trailer to get back to the shop you would cage the brake chamber like this.
YES your releasing the spring by caging it the bolt holds the spring back
The cap on the break chamber should it alway be kept plugged in? Or it can just hang lose ?
its just a dust cap!leave it loose if yoy want but WHY WOULD YOU?
@ 2:12 don't you mean "run the NUT all the way in"?
My line of work is completely different. I don't need this info. But now I know how to cage brakes. Why?
Thanks
And what if the center shaft is not centered allowing the cagong bolt to go in
If the center shaft, push rod, is not lined up with the caging hole the chamber should be replaced due to internal failure. If you cannot cage the spring, the chamber should not be in service. The spring has most likely broken causing the push rod to be pushed out of alignment. There are other internal failures that could result and that’s why it’s best to replace it. A failed emergency side will fail to lock up the wheel end in an emergency situation along with failure to set the parking brake.
Fery noice! I like this informacion
Just wondering, if the plug has fallen off the opening and you cant cage the pot because its full of dirt will removing the brake pot release that brake?
You will need to remove the brake pot and clean the debris out then place brake pot back on, the pot is being used as a set force to keep the key engage in the cylinder. Unless you have a manufactured too that does otherwise it's just easier to do it with the pot on
Is it a temporary process in order to move a vehicle? And will the brakes lock up again if the bolt is taken out?
Yes is temporary,you don't want to be caught driving a commercial vehicle with the chamber cage(or without brakes)
Thats what are you doing eliminating the brake system.
When you remove the bolt,brakes strat working again! That its just to replace the chambres,or my case.
I need to move a trailer on the yard that I park
Air tank leaks,and their is no enough pressure to release brakes.
I cage those bolt and tire moved freely.
Cool
Reason for not using impact?
Perfect..
Can you do it on disc brakes
Yes.i used this on a booster for disc brake
Place 4 caging bolts in tool box in cab .
OK but you can do the samething by backing off the slack adjuster
Is there something you have to do before caging like releasing the air or something for safety related? any one who is reading and knows this can answer for me. Thanks
Chalk the wheels. Cage it with the parking brake applied.
Click. Subscribed. Thanks guys
Is it illegal to operate like this??
It prevent me from having a road call
No safety glasses with that much pressure on the spring?
He said half a turn, but its actually quarter of a turn, you turn it 90 degrees to lock.
I keep turning it half a turn but it keeps coming out! Lol
I know this work.. i want job air break system repair i do it
Noor Ahmed English please
Not trying to be a jerk or nothing but it would be more helpful if he went through the whole process. Weather the brakes should be on or off etc and maybe show a cutout view on how the piston works 🤔
Awesome job showing the cutaway without showing the cutaway.
Lol you'll never get the bolt out of the casing after 5 years
That's why you take them out when new and keep in cab with you or carry extras
@@iamkazie9401 ... absolutely right on! Some things just escape people that are common sense. Great comment! 😊
THIS IS NOT TRUE!these threads on that caging bolt are not juct coarse threads ! they are loose and some odd threads that dont get bound up with rust!i have never heard of taking them out and storing them in the cab
@@tenspeedtruck4083 what is common sence about this? goofy idea ..fixing something that aint broke!
thanks, buying a railway truck with caged breaks
They definitely died
Where are your safety glasses?...ASE Certified too..hmmm
For fucks sake man let it go
your that guy
Randy Long who
I was trying to reply to Shane
@shan o shut the hell up dude
