00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,917
Typical steps for replacing brake shoes are as follows:

2
00:00:03,917 --> 00:00:11,542
<b>Note:</b> Ensure that the locomotive is on straight, flat track before any adjustment or replacement is made.

3
00:00:11,542 --> 00:00:19,000
1. Chock at least two sets of truck wheels to prevent the locomotive from rolling in either direction.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,917
2. Release the hand brake (if set), and allow time for the truck wheels to seat against the wheel chocks.

5
00:00:26,917 --> 00:00:36,208
<b>Warning: </b>Ensure that the truck wheels are chocked and the hand brake is released before cutting out the air to the truck that you are going to work on.

6
00:00:36,208 --> 00:00:39,833
Ensure that you only cut out one truck at a time.

7
00:00:39,833 --> 00:00:50,583
Unexpected motion can occur if the wheels are not chocked, if the hand brake is set when brake air is released, or if the air is cut off to both trucks at the same time.

8
00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:55,458
Unexpected rolling of the locomotive can cause serious injury or death.

9
00:00:55,458 --> 00:01:03,875
3. With the locomotive secure, locate and close the truck air cut-out cock on the underside of the locomotive frame.

10
00:01:03,875 --> 00:01:09,333
<b>Note: </b>Close only the truck cut-out cock for the truck being worked on.

11
00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:18,458
4. Move the brake shoe as far as possible from the wheel tread, then remove the retaining key and worn brake shoe from the brake head.

12
00:01:18,458 --> 00:01:25,708
<b>Note: </b>If more clearance is necessary to remove the worn brake shoe, remove the slack adjuster pin.
