Our trusty forklift's left brake is locking up, causing problems in the workshop! In this video, we tackle a full brake repair and service to get our Yale 35UX forklift fixed and running smoothly again. We start by disassembling the left brake and identify the culprit: a build up of brake dust and a damaged slave cylinder. New parts are ordered, but in the meantime, we disassemble and clean the right brake for good measure. Next, we move on to engine maintenance, draining the oil and removing the filters. With the new parts in, we rebuild the brake system, encountering a frustrating assembly challenge along the way. After successfully getting the brake system reassembled, we bleed the brakes and move on to completing the engine service, but discovering our parts supplier threw us a plot twist – the wrong oil filter! A quick dash back to get the correct filter and we're finally ready to wrap things up with a fresh supply of engine oil. Finally, the moment of truth: a test run! The engine purrs and the brakes feel fantastic. Our forklift is back in action, ready for anything the workshop throws at it. This video shows the entire brake service process and some basic engine maintenance. If you're facing similar issues with your forklift, or just curious about how things work, join us and learn some valuable tips!
