It's easy, lol

Take the bolt out of its carrier, pull the rubber cap back and place the bolt in. Try to keep it straight and you'll want to turn it so seats all the way down then turn a quarter turn and pull back to seat it in its locked position. Put the nut on and tighten till you can't tighten anymore.

This video gives you an idea, but if the spring isn't depressing it's going to be like caging a dead truck. Same exact concept just more turns of the wrench, lol

Okay my brakes need to be applied to do this or released with wheels chocked
No they don't, it makes it easier but they don't. In a perfect world I would loved to have had all the brakes I caged working, lol

Like I said, it'll make it easier but you still need to tighten the nut down tight, not snug in your situation. You're caging a spring pack that isn't working correctly.

Gonna have to dive into the tms on that one.

Hopefully someone else will chime in on adjusting them.

I was the guy who you called when the truck didn't go vroom vroom no more and I brought it to the mechanics.
