I didn't think you had to, I thought they self adjusted like a hydro disc.

They're on my cousin's 98 Aeromax AT9522 original owners never had them polished just acid washed for 2 million miles so they were smoked. she's not show queen so they'll live she's still a head turner though. We'll be expecting them to do a better job on my brother's wheels off his matching Aeromax.

I'm not sure when we will be trained on them.

The buses are freightliner parts, but KY specs the wheel ends, so they have wabco controls over bendix wheel ends.

Gotta love that!! I'm happy to help with anything I actually know about lol. Air discs are bad ass though! There's a fleet of tankers by me running them on trailers 350k-500k on a set of pads even with O/O pulling them!

I have some training videos for air discs I can probably send ya

Oh, BTW, the adjusters have a shear adapter in them, when you feel the brakes get tight STOP. The shear adapter is replaceable but they shear really easily.

I've done over a million K's on a set of pads. Bigger problem is not using them hard enough, they will glaze and you have to change pads to get them through MOT.

Interesting. I'll be curious to see what they look like on the truck. I've never seen wheels done like that.

I can't take complete credit for the idea. Although I did do my dads about 5 years ago. I think they'll look really cool with the chrome top hats and nut covers. The idea came from old hot rod rally wheels.

I wanted to paint my steers and leave the outter grove chrome with then chrome center covers and nut covers, but I just couldn't bring myself to paint them just yet.
