Brake Inspection on Isuzu Tilt Tray greased up linings + a drum that needs machining = time for brake job!!! Thanks For Watching.

bearings are over greased if anything
this is gonna hurt the wallet! 🙁
I think one of those slave cylinders is about the same size as the Micra’s
Master cylinder 😀
Good video. Now I know how those Isuzu brakes look like.
great vid, overpacked and failed lip seal had really made a mess of that
one!. likewise your right about the blue grease is not the right type. I
use castrol HTB and its a light yellow color and feels and smells
completely different to the blue.
i think it over heated and got past
As mentioned already.. It does seem as though too much grease has been used
initially. However also check that the correct grade of grease is being
used on installation. If necessary remove all the old stuff and replace it.
It’s really necessary to have the right grease because its viscosity does
change as the stub axles get hot due to braking. This will definitely cause
problems as the incorrect grease will get far too thin and leak much easier
through an even slightly worn seal.
you can always try to heat the pad to get the oil out. Sometimes it does
the trick.
yeh, mine was neglect, yours was somebodies mistake of using wrong grease
and probably too much 🙁
Yes that happens too 🙂
Being an Izuzu that might be true unfortunately… although brake parts are
usually the cheapest large parts on a vehicle. Clean your bearings
carefully and inspect them for pits and discoloration. It’s possible a junk
yard could supply you with good shoes and drums and bearings… Sorry mate,
it’s a mess for sure!
$100 per drum for machining and $180 to reline the shoes… not so bad
considering the brakes have to stop 15 ton of vehicle when fully loaded
I love trucks!!! and working on em is easy, just a physical challenge!
same here, I wish I had room and access for trucks here or I would have
bought the Ford Trader from the scrap yard long ago and done it up
I suppose the brake shoes are toast, ive been told there is no way to
recover them once they are ruined by oil/grease. It does look like someone
went mad with the grease.
thanks for the comments! made me think again about the grease!
yeh thats not a bad deal, i’d go for it!
The proper Lithium grease will not do that unless a bearing has begun to
fail, it’s heat liquefys the grease. It isn’t be practical to try and clean
shoes as in most cases the grease impregnates the shoe material, which is
why the shoes grab. One other problem this situation can cause is hot spots
in the drum caused by the grabbing, it can oscillate the brake pedal. Hot
spots are difficult to remove from the drums because they are heat
hardened, and so, harder than the surrounding drum metal.
those bearings may need a regrease & bearing seal!
to be honest, it looks like the blue chassis grease in there not the orange
wheel bearing grease! damn i forgot their names atm.. but blue is for
chassis and general lube, not for bearings !!! its definately not HTB
grease!
after doing one side of the Micra today, I have to agree that the Isuzu is
much simpler in the brake dept!. so many bits for self-adjusting rears. the
pads were a glossy sticky mess too, fluid leakage totaled them for sure.
Yep.. You need something a heavy duty’ish, high temp lithium grease for
truck wheel bearings etc. A general type grease is no good at all really.
Cheers.
I noticed that, either way too much grease can also bypass the seals.
