Before u loosen these clamps note where the nuts r so u know how tight is tight. I take only 1 turn from 1 nut and the other completely off and it comes free. This makes reassembly better.

So y put the diaphragm up and rest the clamps like in the photo before lifting the chamber back up.

Then put the chamber up with 1 hand and bring the clamp into place with your other hand. Mild blows with a hammer while squeezing the open end of the clamp brings the 2 half's close enough togeather to get the nut and bolt started.

2 last tips first before u go for the slack adjuster and release its return spring and adjust the brake, it's a good time to grease the s cam shaft. U got it almost 180 from where it normally sits when the slack is backed out. I'm pointing to that grease fitting for the S cam shaft.
Now go back to the adjuster on the slack and let the slack walk back, when it stops moving continue on the adjuster until u then begin to push the shoes outward and tighten down till the adjuster nut stops. If tight u cant turn the brake drum at that point u r bottomwd out the brake is tight . Then about a 1/4 turn back from tight is where I put the 9/16 bolt for the slack. pull the slack to check it. Make slight adjustments to feel if nessessary.
The less slack the better, however if u want them all equal and if 1 hub requires additional slack to release the drum sufficiently the rest need to be loosened to match its slack.
And that's it. How to cage a brake replace a diaphragm and a look at a old style chamber and it's main spring exposed.
Where else do u get this stuff?
