    I don't think they even make pots with a serviceable maxi spring side anymore, you can't remove the band containing the spring without a torch or zip cut. but you do need to cage the spring before you attempt to remove the band off the service side or it will blow off in your face.

    if any of you do your own servicing/repair or replacement of maxi pots, I would suggest to replace the old style with the separate caging bolt with a lifeseal pot from Haldex. the caging bolt is built in and permanently attached to the spring, and sealed from water or dust intrusion. it's super easy to cage the pot with a 3/4" wrench or socket. they also have a 6 year warranty on the spring.

    So I'm sitting here waiting for "Da wrench."

    Some dude that's like 280 pounds, not a good 280, just crawled out of the bushes, and is going and inspecting this reefer with an old Navajo tractor, of which I noticed the occupant sitting in the bunk, light on, no clothes on from what I could see.

    Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

    So one of the new pRO sTARS at wrenche's somewhat pretzeled sitting in front of the one bay.

    I'm like, "Ummmmmmm...."

    Wrench is like,"Jackknife. "

    The cab is like almost off the chassis.

    Someone wrote on the window, "Brakes caged, do not use."

    Last night I had to run bulk and I took out a 2018 cascadia with a auto trans. It was actually pretty nice, I don't see what all the hate is about with the newer ones. The older ones yes, they are terrible. We have a 2012 with a auto and it is literally the hardest to drive truck I've ever driven when backing up but the new one was pretty nice
