Ezrider92356 hello from Tx!thanks for your videos u do great work! It’s really helpful for me with my truck thanks I really appreciate you keep up the good work!!!
Excellent tutorial on the process of making a simple clutch adjustment. A shop in my town will charge $400.00 for that procedure. This vid saved me time and money. Good Job, thanks.
Your one of the best mechanic I have seen.you ain't afraid to admit if you might have possibly done something wrong.and always give the best advice keep up the great work.
your speech is crystal clear and your excellent on the tools i wish the fitters who worked on my erf were like you ezrider,im enjoying your vlogs buddy keep em rolling.
I appreciate your explanation of this process.. I adjusted the clutch on my 2011 Pete 386/18 speed yesterday and got the clutch brake working well and had just a touch over .5" spacing but yet I had 2.25" of pedal travel. I was a bit worried since "everybody" says "no more than 2" free play".. After considering what it would take to adjust the linkage on my truck, I said screw that and left it alone.. I'm glad I did. Everything is working fine so I'm not worried about another .25" of free play.. Thanks again. Your videos are very helpful!!
Great idea with the custom socket. Definitely the path of least resistance. I'm a driver, not a wrench turner and this made it clear how simple it is to replace these on our old 379s. Man it's irritating to not have a clutch brake!
Excellent video! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot on this one and thanks for debunking some of those urban myths about the pedal free play.
Great video , very to the point and informative . I have a old Kenworth that needs to be addressed , now I feel more confident on what I'm doing .... understanding is everything .
Great video man! I love how you explained everything thoroughly. There’s plenty of videos on clutch adjustments but this one is the right way to do it.
I wish I’d found these videos a year ago! Came across your channel just yesterday and I’ve watched around 40 more since! 👏🏼 loving the amount of detail and information. Keep up the great work! 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Always very informative Eazirider, I like your videos, no bad language, no stupid music playing, just good sensible information, thank you. Kind regards from Manchester UK.
Thank you ! This is a five star video. Much needed, as my clutch brake is skunking me on the construction job sites. Can't come off the pile in style when I dump a load . They don't have time for slow clutch brakes .
Nice job. I understood everything you said. The video was fine, it showed what it needed too. You have a way of explaing things that's easy to absorb. The best was your explanation of the 2"-3" of free play not really meaning that much but rather the 1/2" of clearence between throughout bearing and clutch brake means a lot. Thank you!
Informative. Thanks. Appreciate the explanation of the clutch brake when removed from the wild, their styles and preferences/history and tips on removing them.
Great video. I just bought a ‘66 Pete dump truck that has a Fuller reman RTO12513. Clutch brake isn’t working at all. Now I know what to look for and where to go from there. I sure appreciate folks like you who share procedures like this. 👍
I am currently in diesel tech school and your video helped me immensely with my comprehension of this component. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us greenhorns.
Really well explained and good footage of the black hole inside the inspection hole. I assumed I had the old style clutch in my 1989 379 Pete, but when I got in there it had been upgraded to the new style by the previous owner. Subscribed and thanks again
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I'm not much of a mechanic so when our truck mechanic, who works at a different shop than me, told me he was going to send me a clutch brake he has at his shop my palms started to sweat if you know what I mean. But after watching your video I feel that I may be able to replace the brake myself. Thanks again.
Looked at atleast 5 videos trying to find a good explanation of how to adjust a clutch. This is the first video that gave a clear explanation. Thankyou sir
Thank you very very very much for this info I just took an ase test and the info you give here HELP ME A LOT to answer the question thank you very much
Good day, my friend. One more time, thanks for your very informative videos. I read the Bible and it states “is better to give than to receive”. You are giving knowledge and patience on each of your videos. God bless you and your family and business.
Good stuff... my 2015 t680 started to slip just a little when I was taking off in morning, usually merging when I am mashing it... made it 3000 miles home and had clutch replaced. Before pedal was right at top... now I have a good bit of free play... but clutch brake barely works... I watched video so I can check it out. Glad you said 1/2 extension for checking because I didn't know what I was going to use. Thank you for the video
None explained as like you done. Really great learning experience. That's why genius mechanic is required. And..... You're one of them. That's what the truth is 🙏🔥🙏
Thanks to your video you saved me a day down. I popped a new clutch brake in and clutch brake works! I had a helper hold the clutch brake by depressing the pedal to drive the roll pins out. Block of wood would work too On the pedal.
We used to use a 5/16 bolt (1/2 in. head) and weld a piece of threaded rod to it for a feeler gauge to check the throwout to clutch clearance. Just found your channel. Great videos you put up! You are very talented in all phases of the trucking business.and should be very proud of your skills.
Good explanation of the process. First truck clutch I adjusted I made the mistake of bumping the engine over without the lock tab in place. Didn’t take much to unadjusted what I had just done
Our mechanic just replaced the clutch in my T800 before he quit and it's past its break in period if there is such a thing, needs to be adjusted and I have to be the one doing it. This is extremely helpful
I think you did just fine recording buddy. Working and holding the phone or camera is not easy. Good explanation and examples through the process! Thank you and wish you the best
I was having trouble getting my old brake out. The tip of cutting a slot cheap socket to break the pin worked great for me. I also had trouble with losing the hinged clutch brakes. I lost 2 in just a few months.
Ty for the video ty for helping me figure out what was wrong with my clutch situation definitely my clutch brake is gone push clutch to the floor but can't put it in gear
Yo man, just found your channel. I’m an off-road Hd equipment tech that’s got a cpl highway rigs to rebuild, your vids are super helpful mate. Thanks for your efforts
Thanks for the presentation. Very informative and well presented. The video is fine: it's not the quality of the paper pages you remember from a great novel, it is the story. You have a great story.
appreciate the kind words. iv had some "why you shake the camera" type negative comments in the past is why i mentioned it. some tasks are harder to film than others and at the end of the day i need to get the task completed in the time i have to do it so although i try to get the best quality footage i can sometimes things just have to be what they are...lol
I've been around trucks for 50 years and never had adjustment explained so simply and correctly, great video brother!
Did you spend those years in a room with no windows or doors
Marry him lol
Great video thanks for sharing info
You are a very respectable mechanic. I've never heard any foul language in any of your vids. Real cool boss.
Thank you. I try to keep it clean.

Stand on the pedal and shove it in there while you listen to the lovely grinding!
Ezra, I personally love this channel. You are very patient and explain in simple terms that I understand. I’m learning from you. Thank you!
Thank you. Saved me a bunch of trouble if I have to change the clutch on something like that which I have but never worked on before.
I appreciate the time it takes to record this. Thank you.
Video is awesome, straight to the point, no fluff, it held my interest and I learned something
You are exactly right on the clutch adjustment, I have had to correct mechanics many times over the years on this procedure, good video thanks.

Yeah, using the 5/16 bolt idea.
I'd just use a torch and flatten the threaded end down

Many trucks don't have one.
Excellent content Thanks
You did a good job on everything got to see everything you did pretty good no worries 👍🏼
Thanks. Straight forward and informative.

I was having trouble getting my old brake out. The tip of cutting a slot cheap socket to break the pin worked great for me.
