Lubrication of Brake Chamber Brackets

[Gaetan Lavoie]

Can someone tell me how much lubricant should I pump into the Brake Chamber Brackets and in the Automatic Slack Adjusters? This is the assembly which is mounted on the Brake Spider.

Thank you for any help.

i was told to pump until grease runs out the drain hole. that has worked for 13 years.

Thanks Tom,

I found out in the Spartan manual that you apply lubricant to the S-Cam Grease Fitting until new lubricant discharges from the S-Camshaft Bushing Seal next to the automatic slack adjuster.
With respect to the Automatic Slack Adjuster Grease Fitting, apply lubricant until the new lubricant discharges from the Cone Clutch adjacent the adjusting hex nut.
