Thanks Steve, excellent video! I always take a few photos of what I'm about to take apart/replace/rebuild with my camera for future reference, never fails, this 60+ year old mind can't remember like it used to.
Loved the video - interesting. I've done drum brakes on cars before but this is a lot different - the hub assembly and removing the axle is not like a car - at all.
Great video! Much harder job to replace the emergency brake backing plates, when usually rusted to death in Canada. I see you don't have that added issue!
@@slow_restoration great video with the dually rear brakes. I'm having a heck of a time tracking down that rear seal on the spindle there. Do you have a part number or a link?
This was a very good video I'm getting ready to do rear pads on our dually and figured I'd look up a video just for shits and giggles and I saw your doing all the other parts too so I figured I'd go ahead and learn how to do everything for when that time comes
Great Video! I'm researching lifts for myself and the atlas 2 post is on the top of my list. My heaviest truck is a 2500hd gasser with a 8ft utility bed full of tools, what size is your lift and how did it handle that dully. It looked solid when you were working on it.
It's a 10,000 pound lift. It lifted the truck off the ground with no problem, it was a little slower to lift it if you started with weight already on it. This truck was close to 10,000 though, I don't think you would have any problems.
My 04 2500hd with an 8ft reading bed, 2wd ext cab weighed in at 7700 pounds loaded with tools at the scales. There's no crane on my box, and no air compressor, point is this should get you close and a 10000 lift should work for yoh
Thank you Sir.....I was pretty sure the axle had to come out and the wheel studs as well. E Brake Shoes suck to do on ANY vechile. It seems that if you dont use OEM shoes and hardware they never seem to seat right especially anything Mopar. I've got a 08 3500 to do Monday. We just did the Body Work and Im moving on to the Mechanical so I can pass for Pa State Inspection. I detect a Pittsburgh accent? Happy Wrenchin Grease Monkeys from Pears Auto Repair and Towing Chicora Pa...
It's a Torrington bearing? If correct does it have a part number? I looked them up & I see many different ones but I need the same one I'm guessing. I. Trying g to get everything I'm gonna need before starting so I'm not stuck with a truck on stands for more than half a day or so.
I was expecting to really be honest and straight about how to do this, there were a lot of missing information about the process. This videos made people believe that it's very simple, the omission of some size tools and hiden mess means a lot to me. Appreciated the information anyways..
Did I miss something, did you pay him to train you how to do brakes on your truck? He's making a video to help people out that most likely are already mechanically inclined. If you can't fill in the missing pieces, or need to be told what size sockets you need, then you shouldn't be doing brakes jobs pal.
What type of differencial fluid do you top it off with? Will synthetic mix ok with non synthetic? Maybe if in doubt I should just change that fluid all together? It probably needs to be done anyway. I was thinking about using valvoline 75/140 full synthetic for my 2006 3500 Express cutaway van with dually.
Yeah if it's time to change it anyway it's good maintenance to drain and refill. Check with the store where you buy it, they should be able to tell you what is needed for your year and model. Thanks.
Question I have a 1973 chevy dually that has brake shoes and drums in the rear. I want to use brakes like this for a rear conversion. I don't know when chevy first switched over to dually rear disc brakes do you know the year..
My 1991 3500hd has rotors. There are only a few years in that year range where gm actually made a true HD that was different from all other 3500s. It was called a cab and chassis which was more like a 4500. Everything was different and most auto parts stores don't know how to look up parts for these trucks. But they are sought after cause they were built very heavy duty and used for strictly commercial type use, dump trucks, flatbed tow trucks, tow trucks, Etc. But they did have rotors on the rear!
Hope mine come off that easy I put pennatraitin oil for the past few day I’ve had it 5 years it’s drum though going to be a son of a bitch getting the drum off I bet to bad it wasn’t drum brakes I should do a upgrade to rotors but pretty expensive I’m sure good video you need to do a drum brake dually
It has to be 08 because I just took my rear dually tires off to replace a simple rotor brake job but to my surprise is this over complicated shit 🤦🏽♂️
Thanks Steve, excellent video! I always take a few photos of what I'm about to take apart/replace/rebuild with my camera for future reference, never fails, this 60+ year old mind can't remember like it used to.
Wow, seems like a pretty in depth job for what you might otherwise think is a quick easy repair.
It's time consuming!
According to GM you're supposed to torque the spindle nut to 52 ft lbs then back it off to 0 then finger tight.
thats what I was looking for , thanks ! You get people making DIY vids but leave out a critical step. And it's 60 ft lbs for those axle bolts too.
Everybody these days has a phone with a camera just take pictures or take one side apart at a time good video well done Todd
Good informative video thankgoodness without background kids crying, dogs barking or music rapping.
Thank you for sharing this video...I did my first brakes on my truck thanks to you.
Nice, thanks for the support!

It's definitely different when you get into heavy duty trucks. It's much more involved. Thanks
Great Video / Very clear Cut / Step By Step instructoins, was a great deal of help in my sucess at the task. Thank Yoo for posting !
Thanks for the kind words and the view! Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video Steve Kerr!
Thanks for the support!
Ahahahhahahah lol

Thanks, some times we do but this truck is pretty clean!
@@slow_restoration great video with the dually rear brakes. I'm having a heck of a time tracking down that rear seal on the spindle there. Do you have a part number or a link?
they make a 2 piece replacement backing plate !
Great tutorial..Thank you..
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video thanks for the help
Thanks for the video it help a lot
Glad it helped
EXCELENT VIDEO 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That is a whole Lotta truck!
It sure is!

Thanks for watching! It's not a bad job to do, just a lot of disassembly.
Very interesting, do all rear disc assemblies work with the combo. shoe/pad style, even on cars for the e-brake? Thanks Danny!
Not all, but a lot do! Some use a mechanical system in the caliper to tighten the pads without hydraulic pressure.

Thanks for watching! E brake shoes are always a pain!
I dont have a puller for putting the studs back. What else can i do
Awesomeness. Thanks.
No problem! Thanks for watching!

How much can I expect this to cost total parts and labor for a 3500 dually front and rear? At a local shop.

How much should I charge to do this job doing the rear brakes and replacing a rotor on the rear?
Good idea to clean the backing plates before you put it back together
Looks like that truck is way overloaded !
Thanks
Can the parking break be adjusted with the rotor on the axle or does the rotor need to be removed to do this?
You have to remove, at least on this one.
I did that and got the t-shirt 2 years ago.
isn't there a torque spec for tightening the locking nut?
Question I have a 1973 chevy dually that has brake shoes and drums in the rear. I want to use brakes like this for a rear conversion. I don't know when chevy first switched over to dually rear disc brakes do you know the year..
I think early 2000's.

Remember to free up the adjuster cuz it will be seized likely
Can you provide the name/part number for both seals that were replaced?
National 710568 Wheel Seal. Also Fel-pro Axle Shaft Flange Gasket Part# 55350
What about the spacer between the wheels?
None on a stock truck.
What is the name of that seal? Trying to track it down.
If someone needs this it’s called an axle shaft flange gasket on rockauto
Hey Danny do u allow donations
Not sure how to do that, but sure? Thanks.
No problem just trying to show support
Hope mine come off that easy I put pennatraitin oil for the past few day I’ve had it 5 years it’s drum though going to be a son of a bitch getting the drum off I bet to bad it wasn’t drum brakes I should do a upgrade to rotors but pretty expensive I’m sure good video you need to do a drum brake dually
What year is this truck?
It has to be 08 because I just took my rear dually tires off to replace a simple rotor brake job but to my surprise is this over complicated shit 🤦🏽♂️
must be nice to have absolutely zero rust smfh factor in rust your buying new brak lines and the works
toyota lorry double wheel
I hate this job.. done every, time your ebrake need adjustment... it's heavy and annoying
Total waste of time , especially where your putting axle nut on , lol . Try 57 ft lbs .
As far as I know only the diesel head rotors in the rear I believe the 454 got drums
