    All new brake chambers come with a cage bolt probably some under the truck you are driving and the trailer you are pulling

    I always carried a couple new caging bolts in my tool kit as the ones on the brake chamber can be a pita to get off of a chamber thats been collecting crap for a while.
    You pull to dust cover on the back of the chamber, then insert the caging bolt into the chamber. The T on the end fits into the chamber, then turn it to lock it in. Put the washer on then the nut. Tightern the nut until the brakes release. It is a workout on your arm because that spring is strong. If you have air leaking use some vice grip to crimp the hose. In 20+ years I only had to do it once to get a empty trailer back in.
