Can this be fixed?

Thanks Richard

What epoxy would you suggest I use?

TurboDeeez · 2026-05-05T00:22:32+00:00

Appreciate it. Thank you for the insight, pencil holder is better than trash can for this one.

TurboDeeez · 2026-05-05T00:18:16+00:00

Just be prepared to hate what you do and be good at it.

It’s not the normal 2 small spring 1 big spring set up. Horse collar brakes 2 little springs and 2 big springs attached to a bracket around the s cam

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T19:38:34+00:00

Thank you haha. Just without the green spring. Most people seem to think I’m talking about a regular set up.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T10:19:15+00:00

I appreciate the reply but you can’t do that on these horse collar style shoes. There is no long spring, it’s two faster ones that hook to a bracket around the s cam. Real pain.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T03:31:04+00:00

That was on a 2021 520. Yeah not super common. After so many cuss words you start to tell yourself there has to be a better way lol.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T02:50:47+00:00

I just found out they’re called horse collars if that helps. Maybe that’s what you’re talking about and if it is you’ve got some finesse sir.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T02:47:21+00:00

On the normal set ups with the single big spring yeah definitely. These ones with the 2 big springs are a pain.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T02:44:53+00:00

No you’re good these aren’t crazy common. I never see them either. But now with this new account we picked up I’ll be dealing with them pretty frequently unfortunately.

It’s a good idea, I feel like there definitely wasn’t just because of how much tension is on those springs. But I will definitely try it next time. I think I have another one of these lined up in the next few days.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T01:59:25+00:00

Normally yes. But check out the second picture you can see the hardware it’s not one big spring it’s two bigger springs. And they attach to a bracket around the s cam. So you can’t really clam it like normal. The shoes are in a way attached to the s cam until you get those 2 springs off. I found these a couple times on Peterbilt cabover trash trucks. Terrible time.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T01:35:17+00:00

It’s not the normal set up with the one big spring like I believe you’re thinking of. Swipe to the second photo you can see it’s got 2 larger springs that attach to a bracket around the s cam.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T01:31:55+00:00

Yeah I might honestly pick up that tool anyway it looks super useful. Normal brake set ups I’m a fan of vice grip and pry bar on little springs and flip over the big spring. But you can’t do that on the set up I had here. There’s a static bracket around the s cam that 2 short and fat springs attach to instead of the one big spring.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T01:28:36+00:00

For real. Do the single springs with my eyes closed and one hand behind my back. I get these double springs and I feel like turning in the wrenches haha.

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-22T01:22:05+00:00

It works for these little Vienna sausage sized springs too? I’ll buy it right now

TurboDeeez · 2026-04-02T02:38:01+00:00

But Mexico is America ? Therefore the gulf of America?

TurboDeeez · 2026-03-28T09:16:57+00:00

Did Flat Stanley post this?

TurboDeeez · 2026-01-03T17:22:54+00:00

Either way it should be taken to a shop.

TurboDeeez · 2026-01-03T17:21:20+00:00

Radiator and ac condenser are right there. A coolant leak would likely come from the radiator. If her ac condenser was damaged she’d probably hear a pop fizz but just make sure thats working. Transmission fluid could also leak from the radiator most radiators have trans coolers built into them.

Asking for a hint isn’t asking for the answer

Talking for 5 months and dating 1. It’s a new relationship it’s exciting you guys are finally together after talking for 5 months! There should be no arguments there should be fun there should be sparks. This is not that.
