    I don't know about easy. I'd say more like proper. Takes several hours. Takes awhile just to clean all the surfaces.

    That’s an excellent Trade. My first choice of them all. I tried to study a 4” thick book a friend gave me 34 yrs ago. Decided it was too complicated to comprehend. At the time my concentration was not the greatest. Had scrambled up my brain for the last 10 yrs. Took 10 more years to unscramble them. Good thing scrambled brains fit right in with Trucking. Lol

    I’d wear that shirt if they paid me for advertising.

    Remember Last yr I did this steer at the Flying J in Knoxville. Started at 7:00 pm, took 10-12 hrs. I cleaned all the oil with the shoes still on. Time consuming either way. New shoes, linings were only surface wet. I thought I’d damaged the seal, putting the hub back on. Had a hard time with it. Anyway still good 150k later. Good practice is to replace them with every brake job. I still have 2 on the drives that are original to the Truck. 21 yrs old, over 2 million. Hard to believe. Those front brake cans are also original. I plan on changing them, and all the brake relay valves. Just because. But they’re still good.

    Refrigeration has been good to me, trucking is what I actually wanted to do, my dad and grandfather along with several others were all O/O truckers. I basically grew up in and working on trucks, I've thought about going that way a few times when I start feeling burned out with this job then I think about all the new fun and completely necessary regulations (major sarcasm) that has been put in place and say "self it's time to take a day off" take a few days then go play in the same mud hole again.

    That book you mentioned I'm guessing was probably blue and just like getting your CDL through a school teachs you about enough to be dangerous, then you go to work for somebody and find out you don't know sh**.
