This video covers:
-How to function test the automatic slack adjuster if you find excessive brake stroke. (Test performed on Haldex slack adjuster but works on other manufacturers.)
-The procedure to replace a Haldex style slack adjuster.
-How to identify the difference between the Haldex S-ABA slack and the AA1 slack, and difference in the installation procedures.

Brilliant! Thank you. I now know what the mechanic was talking about.

Good video man. I work on school buses and we constantly go thru brakes, slack adjusters and S-cams. Good info. I like how you mentioned to use a tool to check the play on the S-cam. We take apart the brake and do the check on the S-cam inside the brake assembly. I never thought to do it on the slack adjuster end. Instead of taking the brake assembly apart you just take off the slack adjuster after you do your travel and adjustment test. Thanks. I'll pass the info to my shop mates. Thanks.

Great video. I haven’t done a slack adjuster in 20 years. Now I know what I got to do tomorrow.

Thank you for this video. I knew I had a brake issue, but thought with adjustments it could be solved. After watching this, I see now it needs to be replaced. I’ll stop wasting my time messing with it and put my efforts towards replacing it. Thanks again.

Very informative and well presented. I was told my Prevost slack adjusters are at the limit. Might be a job I will be doing soon. Subscribed.

Hi, I'm learning about adjusting brakes. Could you tell me what the electronic device you use to activate the brakes is called?

[@fleetrepairsolutions6372]

It's called a M.U.T.T. (Mobile Universal Trailer Tester) and we get it from www.ipatools.com
