    Hemtt wheels and CTIS on an M923a2

    in that case. I made an aluminum spacer block to space out the stock CTIS valve out and built new valve mounting plates. I used the longer CTIS hoses that are used on the rear axles to give me more flex in the hoses.

    FMTV wheel locked

    You can put a bit of air tools oil in the valves, but it sounds like the Original post was about one wheel locking up? You should follow the advice about freeing up the wheel, cleaning the drum as well. If that doesn't work the wedges will need to be cleaned and regreased.

    FMTV wheel locked

    If that wheel sticks repeatedly after you break it free and bust the rust off. Then you will need to tear down the wedge assemblies, clean them and lube them good. I have found the LMTV/FMTV don't have enough grease in the wedge assemblies and they will stick.
