F-800 Lucas Girling Brakes

[Old Doug]

I went by my house in town i couldnt find the book i was thinking about but i found 3 others that have sections on the the brakes . I will look them over today i also have to go back to town early for an appointment i will stop and look agin. I have alot of books and manuals they fill a small bedroom . I haven't lived there for i think 3 years its a mess.

"A2LS" is what I recall the book being marked.

I have this book and it has a lot about the brake set up in it.

 

[Delmer]

Thank you! that takes some of the mystery out of them, still dread having to deal with it. I didn't see any torque specs, but I'll assume standard torque chart based on fastener grade and size should work.

The problem is in the relay valve I just had this happen

I dont understand why a company could take something so simple as the park brake on the back of a trans and turn it into something so bad. Whoever did this should get a trophy at the least and should be recorded so others dont make the same mistake .

Air Systems TOO Simple in comparison. Could ONLY wish had them on light trucks.

Near as I can tell it is just to get around air brake restrictions on licenses, so they came up with something more complicated and worse.
